    DIY Aero Basement Grow - Multiple Strains

    Of course, I'm reading this just after my lights went out, so the money shots will have to wait till tomorrow. As for the spray pattern/TAG, mine look pretty similar to yours. The water hits the top of the sprayer & fans out in a 180 pattern. It pretty much atomizes around 1/8" out from the tip...

    DIY Aero Basement Grow - Multiple Strains

    Thanks T-Dog. 1/4" drip line is commonplace in any hardware store that sells sprinkler stuff for lawn irrigation. I regrettably got mine @ the HomoDepot. I found it cheaper @ the local mom& pop shop a few days later. I got a roll of the line, cut it to taste & the sprayers just twist into the...

    DIY Aero Basement Grow - Multiple Strains

    The girls are looking great, but a couple days ago, I noticed the first signs of spider mites. Not surprising, as my buddy's place is riddled with them. He was keeping a few of my clones alive for a little while. Either that or the dog brought em in. Went down to Rocky Mountain Hydro & bought...

    DIY Aero Basement Grow - Multiple Strains

    You know that's right! I just realized I wrote Multiple Strains in the title up there & never listed my strains. 1 OG Kush 2 Super Lemon Haze 1 Super Purple Haze (whatever that is) 4 Hindu Kush 4 Afghan x Haze 2 '$$$' 1 Monkfish 1 Giant INDIGO! ...and something else i can't remember right now...

    *LOOK* "Gutter Symphony" @ My DIY Aeroponics system.

    Dude. That's badass. It's cool to see your pipes & drip lines looking just like mine. Great minds... something something something...:leaf: My DIY is much happier these days. I finally ditched my super-budget float level switch idea & ponied up for a nice repeat cycle timer. I'm still pissed...

    DIY Aero Basement Grow - Multiple Strains

    Not to worry, folks. This story gets better: Capt. Insaneo - I initially had one tube running between the 2 reservoirs to equalize the levels. Upon my first shakedown outside on the back deck, I quickly realized this wouldn't be enough. Rather than do the smarter thing, which would've been to...

    If you answered "the pump never came back on", you win a brownie! Yep, the float level switch did it's job. I had it on the high side rez. As the level got too high, it would kill the pump, then restart as the level fell. I added my fresh water but didn't wait around to hear the pump work thru...

    DIY Aero Basement Grow - Multiple Strains

    I slapped me some nicely rooted clones into my machine and continued to tweak a couple details as I went along. I had been having issues getting the 2 reservoirs to equalize @ the same rate as the pump was spraying. The rez feeding the pump would empty quickly & the one at the other end would...

    DIY Aero Basement Grow - Multiple Strains

    My space in the basement is a partially finished room with one window, a door & a 6'2" ceiling. There's a heating duct running thru the room which hangs down another 8" from the ceiling in one spot. I had a big stack of false ceiling panels. I lined the walls & ceiling with these panels, as...

    DIY Aero Basement Grow - Multiple Strains

    I got a super deal thru a buddy in the industry on some 6" pvc pipe (under $2/ft), had it delivered to the house & got busy drilling holes & cutting lengths. The pipes came in 14' lengths & my room was only 12'. I decided on 10' sections. Also like Earl's shuttle, 3.5" holes were cut with a...

    DIY Aero Basement Grow - Multiple Strains

    So, this is my first post here on this particular forum. Howdy. A couple months ago I lost my job, my car, my license and my freedom all in one fell swoop. I had grown in the past, but that was 10 years ago. Lots has changed in the growing world since then, and suddenly my situation changing...

    Colorado Med Growers, Unite

    Figured my first post should be here. I've been on for a little while, but never really post. I'm on the east side of Denver, near Lowry. I'd like to get a little trading consortium going. Everyone likes to have variety, so I figure there's good reason to trade product for product, at least on a...
