Aero or Hydro
    #349423 - 01/18/10 03:40 PM (14 years, 2 months ago)

So I can't upload my digital drawings but this is what my aero unit would be. It would be five 9ft long 6in pvc pipes laid side by side. A 3in hole will be drilled every 6ins and a pot/neoprene plug will be put in. Inside the 6in pvc pipe will be a 1in pvc pipe with a 360degree spray head under every pot. The 1in pipe will be the feeder from the pump and the 6in pipe will drain back to the res. I will have a 600w digital HPS for every 3ft of lentgh.

The hydro would just be a flood table, 9ft long, 2.5ft wide, and 7in deep. This would also have 3 600w digital HPS above it.

The main problem for me is that I need a much larger res for the table compared to the aero. Otherwise I really don't care, I have material for both.

ive had great success with aeroponics in the past, and many will argue its has substantial benefits over regular hydroponics.  i would strongly recommend that you place the sprayers between the pots tho in an aeroponic system so that the roots don't grow over them and block the misters. in any case, i think u will be pleased with the results no matter what you choose.

Thanks for posting, I have grown with both and use both in my research labs. The design is a little different than you might think, the 3" hole has a 6" segment of 3in pvc in it with the pot in the top so the roots have almost a foot of space and the misters spray into the collums.

BTW this is post 420

you should build this again.

I had a grow like this a year ago. I built an aeroponic system out of 4in pvc and 1in pvc that gave each plant 6in^2 to grow in. It had 64 plants and was 4x4ft, I grew each plant to 3ft and I used a hybrid so I would get long thick main buds with not much branching so the light penatrated very far down. I could easily pull a few ounces a plant and I harvested about 13 plants every week.

I'd say aero, only becuase its the easiest way IMO.
buckets filled with water, airstones inside, like you find in fish sections of stores, get as many air pumps as you need, make sure the stones are pumpin lots of bubbles in the water, thats key.

cut holes in the lid of the buckets, (I use painters buckets btw)
put in your grow cups, then your rockwool that should already have rooted seed, or cuttings, add hydroton, turn the pumps on, just add fert, an check ph regularly.

simple as that. lol

heres a pic of a plant just into flowering in a aero system like I mentioned...



goodluck, and I hoep you reap many fruits! :smile:

I am just waiting to get some money but I will re-build that setup koons, but only if you send me a picture of the expression on your face when I get a huge yield.

I'll start going to church if you "re-build" that setup.

I'll know god exists if you can "re-build" that setup.

Well if I go to church and take a picture now... I'm basically paying up a wager that will never be won. That makes no sense.

No, I was saying that when I prove you wrong, that is what I need to see.
