Im in the process of building stinks Aero/Nft setup & was wondering what the total footprint of the frame is width wise bcuz I would like to add an additional post & modify the frame accordingly.What is the height of the 18gal reservoir.I will substitute a 27 gal instead.Thanks
Honestly, the answers to all your questions will come from you. The footprint is whatever system you think will work for you, build for your needs. I believe the 18 gallon roughneck containers stand 18" approximately, not positive.

Some more photos of my 6 girls that are just entering 2nd week 12/12. And a couple more of my Pineapple Kush in 7th week of flower. The critical kush is a thick strong plant system. The photos of my newly flowering girls has my top rail at 18", just to show plants size. Last picture is the type of buds on all side branching (which there is about 15 of em)

Thats some nice looking plants u got.Your PineKush how long left to flower?What is your light wattage?Your first grow is nice.I grew outside for years..too many weed thieves.I done indoor for about 5 years.Done soil indoors(messy/heavy),DWC,Ebb&Flow,Aeroponic.Times I had good yields nothing to brag about,times I had mediocre harvests.Genetics waas great WW, Pinechunk,Blueberry,CriticalJack,AcapulcoGold,LSD.My grow has changed based on personal experiences.I think Stink's system will be the most efficient for my space 4x6x7.The best advice I have been given would probably be to keep data logs of EVERYTHING you do in your room doesnt matter if it be ur temp adjustments for the room air or ur reservoirs.I like your setup using pvc pipe.For flowering i myself had been using basically a setup like stinks cloner.i did it in a way like the Aquamist 1.I was like oh boy I dont have to change out nutes(wrong)I had wild pH fluctuations.This my 1st attempt at a perpetual harvest.when i get agood camera ill post picks of my rooms.

@Path of Light my flower tent has 2 T5 HO 4' 6 bulbs. I'm running Agromax PurePAR bloom bulbs (4) and 10,000K finisher bulbs, also I've got a UV-A bulb thrown in a fixture. Also utilizing some side spotlights 120watt equiv led.
By the way the Pineapple Kush is progressing I'd say 2 weeks tops left to flower. I Also have to agree on the data logs of everything, I've got a binder with notebooks for cloner/veg/flower documenting dates and all details on what was done. Its the only real way of doing things.

What is everyones thoughts on this set up for aeroponics better? worse?
Im in the process of building it myself,personally stink's aero is the best 1.Its simple 2.It can be modified to any space 3.cheap to build & without requiring lots of tools or carpentry skills 4.Harvest potential very impressive

Most of those designs were updated, I believe. Honestly just a Google search of "Stinkbud pdf" will result in the diagrams. If you are feeling generous I'm sure he would still take payment for it.

So have a hypothetical situation that needs Some input.
As Most of you are aware, I live in Michigan. And, dispensaries have been hit hard over the past few years. Well, the House of representatives passed some bills the other day that would put in structures; rules, licensing, and other stuff for the legalizing of dispensaries, grow faciluties, among others. I come from a family that owns some of the remaining large industrial buildings on the west side of the state. They have expressed interest in applying for a Class C growing license which would allow for the maximum 1500 plants to be grown at the facility.
So, the question is what setup would people put in place for an operation that large? Flood drain tables for seedlings/clones? Ebb & flow for flowering? Stinkbuds system on a larger scale?
Overall, just looking for ideas, input, and conversation. Let's keep this civil, and friendly. Upon typing, I should have just started a thread, but I have grown to trust a bunch of you with reliable & sain input.

probably stink's method but change the posts to sewer & drain piping same 4" size.Use water troughs for livestock & a pump to match.Soil is heavy & expensive & at 1.5k plants check this article I remember reading when it came out,its what got me want to do aeroponics.
http://www.cannabisculture.com/content/1998/09/01/1378.You may get the opportunity to harvest 800-1200lbs easy..that is u gonna need a shitload of help maintaining.Better invest in industrial trimmers bongsmilie:-P.I hope ur family does it u could help a lot of patients get quality meds.

@Path of Light it will all be interesting to see how these bills play out. It's the framework on top of Medical Marihuana act that is a step towards legalization. This would be run as a large scale business employing many as plant maintenance technicians, security and many more positions. With the grow operation unable to act as a dispensary and vice versa. The idea is to do a collaboration and get it all under 1 roof, but are completely seperate entities; dispensary, hydroponic shop, grow facility, the imagination is the limit.

Update:
My pineapple kush is finishing up her week of flushing, and she gets cut down next Monday. My 5 others girls that are 2nd week flowering are doing pretty good. Have an auto flower that stretched big time, and another small girl that I've thought about just pulling. But no real good reason to. Also, I've been doing my cloning in a 5 gallon bucket, as I work on a new veg setup.

I have a medical marijuana card and I am also a provider for several cancer patients. I lost my father and aunt to cancer. My mother has also lost a breast to cancer. I'm on a mission!

If a patient needs medicine and it takes 12 weeks before their first harvest, what do they do in the mean time? That's where I come in...

I can have 6 mature plant and 18 plants under 12" per patient. I can also have 1.5lbs. of dried material per patient.

This is the main reason I always keep my veg plants under 12" high.

It's my destiny to help others and I do what whatever it takes...
DUDE I dont know how the fuck I didnt find this earlier. Stinkbud, same scenario with my family and myself. on a mission to get people the shit they need....hope all is well

@sky rocket thanks bro. Yeah, when money isn't so tight. I'll get either a couple lower watt hps (400 or 600) or 1 1000 watt. Then supplement with t5's.
I'm going to run a modified stibkbud units under 2x600's probably at the end of November. I use the stibkbud clone and veg systems and I transfer them to canna coco for flower. Right now 2 out 10 plants in veg have root rot issues. Don't know why but I guess I have to really clean my buckets and pumps. Temps are not a issue because it's constant 69-75. I also run dm zone. So I cut all the slimy roots in hope for new root growth.
