Hm. If I see any problems, that's the first thing I'll do for sure! It wouldn't be very difficult to run RO water through every 2 weeks, I think that's what I may do. I'm planning on getting away from these nutrients, and stepping up to a better nutrient line. I'd like to run a simple 2 part...

Bumped my EC to 1. I had some hungry plants! They are definitely starting to grow. Some are behind others. One of the strains in the vertical is a stretcher. I flowered a plant that was well under 12 inches in coco, and it's a 36" plant now. It was an 8 or 9 inch plant when it started 12/12....

Thanks for the support guys! MYWhat, I never thought about that... I suppose if it gets too bad, I could probably use a shop vac through the holes when the tube is drained and dried. Did the sediment cause any problems with the plants? I'll grab some pictures today, I suppose the clones will...

O*G*, me and my dad used a heat blanket with 2 plugs made specifically for bending conduit and PVC. The problem we were having was the pipe kept collapsing on itself. I'm confident in the rigidity of this corrugated pipe though. The cost of corrugated pipe as compared to PVC is insane too...

At the ends of each loop, I bumped up the tube on a shim. I just used extra cuts of a 2x3. It sets the ends of the loops so the bottom of the high end is around the middle of the non shimmed end. I'm babbling, but I'm kind of stoned. If you look in my photos, you may be able to see one of the...

Dirty1, I'm not sure what your talking about. I have a metal halide in the room with the vertical setup. Right now I'm using it as a cloner. In the future I will constantly run a flowering light in there and have a cloner setup out of that room under the veg light. Cowell, in my head I thought...

Well, this is a first for me also, so I'm learning as I go. I'm running a 600 GPH pump 24/7. The return water from the end of the tube falls into a 5 gallon bucket. Me 'theory' on how it'll aerate itself was through the pump constantly pumping water from the bucket. I figure the water pouring...

Yeah, you've pretty much got it! It seems as though water that's moving rapidly is already oxygenated enough to support plant life. RDWC follows the same concept, and it seems to be working.

Try that. I had it set to private.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB6S798qH4k&feature=youtu.be Try that out. That'll give everyone an idea of what I'm working with. It's photo's always looks confusing because of my room setup. Plus now, you can be soothed by my smooth voice! Enjoy.

Personally, I'd just put a piece of PVC through the middle with some sprayers and make it an 'aero' unit. I always imagined something similar to that, with a hydroponic configuration, turning on a Christmas tree display stand. It'd be similar to using a light mover, but you'd simply be turning...

I plan on flowering when they are hopefully around 6 inches. The Purple plant stretches like crazy. I flowered one that was roughly 8-10 inches and it's over 30 inches now. Crazy amount of stretch. I'm hoping I don't have any issues with that. I can always throw them all on the bottom rack...

In the basement I'm constantly running a reservoir temp of 68 and the air temp is around then too. The black doesn't heat up like you'd probably think, plus it's got cool water running through it 24/7. I did think about it though, but I can't figure any way to neatly wrap the corrugated pipe...

Drolove, I'll grab some later today if I get a chance. It's all symmetrical. The frame is simply four 20'' diameter, side-to-side not corner-to-corner, octagons that have 2 legs on 4 of the sides. I used 2x3's for it. I did have a problem with the system leaning, but that's what the bungees in...

Welcome! I went with the corrugated pipe. It works great. It's rigid enough to support a plant, so I'm happy. Plus, the stuff bends super easy and was only $35 for 50'. Right now I've got 3 and a half levels to this system. I'm hoping I'll be able to run Lucas formula until I run out of GH...
