    6 inch PVC aeroponics tube system

    Schedule 40 Pvc? I'm not sure what the threshold size is to be called a "tree". I run 6" pvc ------but not fixed plant position------and no medium (except starting seed). A few more designs in my sig. Do you have pics? A~~~

    Ttystikk's vertical goodness

    Better (easier) than using double sided velcro tape also. One application for those vine clips I am very pleased with. Holding the spray line in position and easy enough to unlatch. Let me know how you like those flip clips (if you ever do). A~~~

    Ttystikk's vertical goodness

    High tyy? Here's a link for "clip twist lock wire ties". http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Clip-twist-lock-wire-ties_221809791.html A little part I liked for training plants to a screen trellis. The white made them much easier to locate. About 3 cents each (from memory) A~~~

    MaiNiaK's Hydro

    Nice work, well designed system. Suggestion: Instead of rooting cuttings or starting seed in soil-----try vermiculite (my preference) or perlite----much easier to rinse off. Obviously the pic is of a rooted clone. Same process can be used for starting seed. Used bloom soup at around...

    First time grow - White Rhino

    Friction, Funny stuff about herman and bathroom usage. Something to watch out for-----bugs. I say that because every time I bring a clone from some other garden-----bugs. Avid and forbid are my guns of choice. As for cutting/s plant location----I get the best strike rate from healthy bottom...

    Power consumption

    Yes that is correct----but the voltage is doubled. Unless ohms law has changed recently--- power (watts) is voltage times current. The power companies charge by kilowatt hour. Example: If I run a 1000 watt light for one hour----that would be 1 kilowatt hour. My kilowatt hour cost me 15...

    Aeroponic or bubbleponic? ?

    My opinion also. Just how much better (yield wise) running "true aeroponics"------I don't know. My guess is 10-15% increase-----and that's a wild guess because I've never run "true aero." What do you guys think? A~~~

    Check my aeroflo2 36 vid day 50ish

    ^^ 22 zips from how many flowering watts? First ride with the aeroflow---not bad. IMO, that system has nothing to do with "aero." A more descriptive name would be something like "pee and drain"-----which my medium less version has preformed well for many years. A~~~

    Why does it seem there is such a difference in nutrient strenghts between the growing community?

    Perfect -----mucho thanks for your effort :clap: If that reading is near 5000 fc? then my conclusion: Singled ended 1K HPS horitulux in a 27" X 24" reflector. 16" directly below is 10,000 fc (full sunlight intensity)-----so at 32" is 2500 fc. Did this make sense ? about the penetration.

    Why does it seem there is such a difference in nutrient strenghts between the growing community?

    Excellant post as usual :clap: What does "crucian expression" mean? My take on this nute strength discussion: I've run constant circulation in tubes (no medium) at high PPMs 1500--1800 (.7) with satisfactory yields but had a noticeable metallic taste. I've run the same system------and same...

    Why does it seem there is such a difference in nutrient strenghts between the growing community?

    fingers crossed while asking this question. I hope---- I hope you ( or anyone else) has a light meter running DE lights can tell me at what distance below is 10K fc (sunlight intensity). btw---- aren't 10' ceilings wonderful? A~~~

    A question for the pros

    Well, not sure if anyone considers me a pro.:smile: Anyway------problems await with that system----roots are going to clog those small holes. If I were going to try a system like that-----I would use a minimum of 4" pvc everywhere. Welcome to RIU. A~~~

    Why does it seem there is such a difference in nutrient strenghts between the growing community?

    My conclusions also. Once clones / seedlings are large enough for full strength nutes, I run at 1000 ppm (.7) bloom soup for both veg and flowering. IMO, all these feeding charts make little difference, if any at all-----and even if following the charts increased yield a small amount----I...
