    Drip or bubble ?

    with scrog you don't need very many plants because you're going to encourage them to be as bushy as possible and you'll give them lots of time to veg to produce the best most tops. How big is your space? How long do you want to veg for? What strain? Clones or seeds? for redudancy at cost pick...

    Jebban's DIY aeroponic grow (Strains: WhiteW, Strawberry Cough, Buddha, Northern L)

    ok, so you can probably find a tutorial by putting that question into google, but you can also wire it up to any standard d/c adapter. I took an old cellphone adapter i had, probably ANY such adapter that charges a small device should work, and i just cut the cable. Two cables inside, white and...

    Jebban's DIY aeroponic grow (Strains: WhiteW, Strawberry Cough, Buddha, Northern L)

    well mine is in the very corner of the res and it doesn't seem to have any problems. i just have the sprayers aimed away from it. I didn't know if it would work either, but it hasn't shorted yet so i think it will be ok longterm. Covering my res with reflectix made the biggest difference for me...

    Drip or bubble ?

    bubbleponic and bubbler DWC are different things as far as i know. Bubbleponics is the Stealth Hydro system that supposedly aerates the water going through the irrigation hub that then send a constant drip to eah plant via tubing. A bubbler deep water culture system is where you have the water...

    DIY,7 site aeroponic tote

    i have a diy aero, i run 30 mins on 1hour off. previous grow i ran 24hrs on, 30 on 3hrs off and 30 on 2hrs off, and 30 on/off. 30 on 1hr off seems like the best compromise i can get out of my 5$ timer, and my roots are sick so it's what i'm going to keep using. One on five off would probably be...

    Jebban's DIY aeroponic grow (Strains: WhiteW, Strawberry Cough, Buddha, Northern L)

    you really do need to get the temp down. you have a 35 litre res, so how much actual water is in there? Just covering the pump, like 20l? I have a diy aero system that has heat issues too. I keep it between 62-72 F even when the ambient temp is up to 86 in the day. I use refelctix attic...

    First DIY stealth aeroponic cabinet grow, SOG

    here are the promised pictures. lots of them lol. the roots look TERRIBLE in those pictures, but they are bone white lol. Not horrible zombie roots. pic 7 is the most up to date picture of the vegging plants, the first two pics are of the vegging plants from about 10 days ago. The tallest plant...

    First DIY stealth aeroponic cabinet grow, SOG

    did a shitload today. changed out the res on the vegging aero plants and the hydroton clones. The clones are rooting officially, first root showed today out the bottom of the net pot. I don't know what i'm going to end up doing; i may go back to my old bubbler cloning method or i may stick with...

    First DIY stealth aeroponic cabinet grow, SOG

    moved the plants around today to get the smallest ones under the most intense light. my rooted clones look a little sickly, they are vegging and will hopefully recover. They went almost 30 days without nutes so they are probably mostly just hungry. Soil plants look great, it's all looking good.

    Help w/ New Hydroponics Setup

    to be totally honest i don't know the gph required for drip systems. i run a 350 gph and i had one of those 9 head irrigation manifolds at first hooked up to it. It would have easily run a drip system. I would think you could get away with less. access to clones is tight :). It will save you so...

    Help w/ New Hydroponics Setup

    ok, i understand, so one common res going to 4 different buckets filled with hydroton , then drain back to res. So it's a recirculating drip system :). You have it right about the airstone, it is there to increase the dissolved oxygen in the water, which in turn wards off pythium (root rot). You...

    Help w/ New Hydroponics Setup

    what kind of hydro setup are you doing? u say u need a submersible pump, will this be for a drip setup, or an aero mister setup, or a bubbleponics setup.. you say you have a bubbler stone for your res so at some point the roots will be hanging in it right? Tips: -wash your hydroton well with...

    First DIY stealth aeroponic cabinet grow, SOG

    got netpots and another pump, so i've now got two sets of 15 clones rooting (19 days) and or vegging in two dwc bubbler units in the bottom of my cab. Then i have 10 plants on day 19 of vegging. Then i have another 20 clones in a dwc bubbler cloner in my closet, with about 30 rooted jiffy pellet...

    First DIY stealth aeroponic cabinet grow, SOG

    wow so as of last night i had 5 clones in jiffy pellets rooted. Thats like 8-9 days! Twice as fast as any of my hydro methods have ever been. I am fucking flabergasted. They have been transplanted and are veggin under fluro. Plants looking huge. Hopefully netpots today so i can start vegging...

    What container can I use to make an aeroponic system (cant find rubbermaid in U.K.)

    if you are set on a one box aero system, like filthyfletch or any of the diy 30 min aero systems out there, then almost everything will leak (im in NA so i can only offer general res advice). I use a rubbermaid, but it's not one of the roughnecks that inherently don't leak. My res has two layers...

    Growing in space

    putting water into orbit is the most expensive thing you can do pretty much. $/pound water is fucking dense. We have to wait till we are harvesting asteroids for their ice. Also i would guess the uv rays outside of our atmo are too intense for plants, so you'd have to filter them anyway. In the...

    First DIY stealth aeroponic cabinet grow, SOG

    tallest plant now over 11 inches, all plants looking great. day 17 for hydroton clones, still looking good. great root development on bubbler clones, need to get em into hydroton soon. soil clones looking good.

    Cleaning hydroton - any other ways!!?

    ahhh fair enough, yeah that would be a TOTAL bitch to order through the mail... good luck :)

    Cleaning hydroton - any other ways!!?

    i would think there's a diminishing return in this whole reusing hydroton thing. If you're using 10 gallons of hydroton in your grow, isn't that a big enough grow to support replacing the hydroton? I'm only saying because i would probably never wash that much, especially after a week of drying...

    how high can a res temp be with h2o2

    unsafe imho. even with h202 you really should be under 75 at all times. Some people will probably say 70, i know mine says 62-72 and is just fine with h202. One frozen two litre pop bottle drops a 20l res about 10 degrees in my personal observtion.
