The biggest problem I am having is keeping the top from leaking and the problem with a tight lid being hard to remove. I actually used a piece of plywood painted with plastic dip as a lid, it fits right inside the top and so far no leaks. I also added a handle so I can lift it out of the tupper...

Hope I'm not walking all over your post but just wanted to show everyone how fast this unit works

What i've done is soaked the wood in exterior paint and then painted it with spay plastic, this way I can pick the top up easily and it gives more support to the netpots. I have already had one drop into the tank and it was a big mess. Ill see today it is going to go into a new container and I...

Just in case I misunderstood I uploaded my photos to my profile and then picked the URL and go to advanced picked my picture URL and placed it in the line. That gives you the full size pic. By the way did you build a different top for your unit? I am actually working on a wooden top for mine...

I am guessing you figured it Jimmy

OK quick update the plants are looking great and they seemed to be growing by the minute I don't see any difference with the pump shutting down for fifteen minutes every four hours but I have nothing to compare it to. Here are some picts of the grow so far, the plants under glass are clones not...

Just to add my two cents: I found the same problem so I reworked everything and tried to make sure the jets didn't point directly at the plants. Also I got a timer and set it to turn off for 15 minutes at a time every four hours. We'll see how that works tonight!! I already started adding nutes...

I had to rebuild my water sending unit because it was really soaking a couple of the plants, drowning is probably a better word for it. Once I did this they bounced back overnight and I saw some really rapid growth almost overnight. I am working on a way to monitor water level externally using a...

I am actually cloning in three of the netpots with a glass over the clone and growing in three of the others from seed so far very successfull. It seems the the three inch hole saw is just a touch to big and it makes it hard not to knock the net pot into the tub.(did that once already) I am...

Eagle its a rubbermaid unit and it doesn't leak a bit though I had to add some wires to my baskets, the three inch hole was just a bit loose so I created some wire handles that keep them from falling through and make it easy to pull the baskets out. I have been trying to clone with this unit...

Jerkin tell me what did you do? It looks like your running the line externally?? its interesting just wondering what your doing?

Ok just a quick update I went to Loews and purchased a different container which actually seals and have not had one leak yet.

I am getting a lot of leakage from my unit any suggestions?

Thanks a lot for this thread I just finished my unit last night with an 18 gal unit, any chance someone can point me to some info on maintaining proper water nutes and PH?

Just wondered where to get the cycle timer? Also I am using an 18 gal unit no problem? One other question should I lower the mister unit (cut some of the PVC off the ends so it fits lower in the unit)

I am guessing if the fed wants to know how they ship they would just order some.
