Ok can't seem to get an answer to this question!!? You take PVC, drill holes of some size? support it outside of your PVC fence tubes where the plants will go, drill a hole inbetween each net pot spot, size? but the real question is what tube do you use to go from the feed PVC line to the grow tubes??? How do you secure it in the feed line so it wont leak and then how do you put sprayers and what kind, size, in them inside the grow tubes. I have seen many pictures of the set ups but no close ups of the connections or specifics on items needed to get the connections done. Thanks for your expert advice. IF you wish to direct me to a link please be specific and not just a photo of the set up because like I said have seen the photos, Once again need the details on hole sizes and gromets if you use gromets, size ect ect ect...... Worried about that type of set up leaking. I have feed lines inside but want to change them to top and from outside. I think that is clear. Thanks...

hope this helps. I use 1/2" pvc I drilled my pvc 1/32" smaller than the sprayer nozzle.

I hope that rez is covered.? You have to keep the humidity in check. I have made this same system only with two rez's so I can micro manage nutes for new and older flowering plants. But you might run into one big issue like I did and that is if one or more of your spray heads gets clogged you are totally buggered and it is a royal pain in the ass. That is why I want to put the sprayers on top and the lines outside. But maybe I am doing something wrong? anyway looks pretty. Mine is really ugly.

Dude.....The only issues I have are trying to accept that fact that I will never be able to harvest after 4 weeks of flowering. I have to deal with the fact that it takes 8-9 weeks, sometimes longer, to bud. As far as my nozzles go........Its not a pain in the ass to change them. take clogged one out and put unclogged one in. So Simple......

FTR...I use a sentinel brain unit. It controls humidity, co2, and air temp. I'[m covered but thanks for the advice.

That is not what I meant. I have to little room to fight my plants in late bloom to change a sprayer and if one on the end fails for a light cycle the plant that is dry can be affected badly. But anyway how strong a fan do you need to make sure your plants won't fall over when the get bud heavy?? Or do you just have to plan to support them and if so in a set up like ours because mine is pretty much the same, how would you support them??kiss-ass

you know, I've never had a problem with roots touching my nozzles. Each nozzle is 8" away from basket. I dont have it pictured but I also raise the 1/2" pvc off the bottom of the tube about an inch so the roots can just flow. here is my support

Lights for that outstanding looking grow? so you need support yes? Fan strength? Also if I change from a organic nute to say gh will that stop clogs? Also do you know if the micro is really needed with the other two gh grow and bloom nutes. If you are familiar of course with GH. Also how much will that set up produce?????? Kudos.....:lol:

I'm using 3 750 watt adjustawing with lumatek digital ballasts. I use support as a back up. I stress my plants while growing to strengthen the stocks. The support is more than likely not needed but its there in case one of the girls becomes lazy. I dont know what you mean by fan strength. I use botanicare organic nutes. Honestly....I've never had a clog with my nozzles (knock on wood). not familiar with GH

I'm hoping for 1 lb per light. If i get more (which I will just judging by the size of the nuggs now) I'll be happy.

What strain? And you will get five if you do it right. I am using Bonicare now as well and it builds up crap so might change to GH.. thanks

Like the simple saw horses too. Tell me, even though I am sure I can figure it out, what exactly you used for those. Thanks... And strain ? please....
