Pics? How many buckets/plants? Watts of flower lighting? Why not recirculation with an inline pump (heat issue). This opens the way for much, much easier nute changes and eliminates the seemingly constant air stone maintenance. You may get more feedback if you posted your question in the...

Yes, that's kinda what I was getting at. If your space is limited horizontally but have adequate vertical height (7' or higher ) straingt tubes at different heights, light in reflector turned toward the plants and on a light rail mover. In effect or affect? conventional flat horizontal canopy...

Things that can be greatly improved (IMO). 1) Too much light not delivered to the plant material. In that half octagon and bare bulb----wasted light. Think of it this way-----if your tubes and light were rotated 90 degrees so the tubes were on the floor (plants facing up) what would you have...

HDS ------major kudos for your effort. If you're interested, I will offer my perspective of your tube design. Not my first rodeo with tubes. Again, nice work. A~~~

Thanks for stopping by. Not an option because I need adequate rigidity for plant and trellis support------something like a extra large tote with the lid I'm trying to decide on material. A~~~

@ rkymtnman, @Flagg, Yes, those are livestock watering tanks----very durable. The one in the pic is 100 gallon purchased at Tractor Supply filled with 70 gallons (float valves and stuff). I've thought about the plywood coated with something like flex seal or other sealers for boat leaks...

Very very "cool" idea :clap: What kind of radiator did you use? A~~~

Mission: Helping my friend set up a 1K show. Already have everything we need except a cover/lid for this tank...

Hey S~~~ Glad to see you've surfaced. If that's the video I saw from university of Florida ----- what about high temps outside? In another thread I chatted with someone growing veggies outside like that-----anyway-----He / she said " of all the plants grown that way required oxygenation"...

I hope you have a light meter----at what distance from the bulb is full sunlight intensity (~10,000 foot candles)? An hps 1K its about 18" (new horitlux in reflector) 16" with glass. Got any pics? Thanks, A~~~

@TheChemist77 Thanks for that heads up about cdl light-----I'm certainly interested in your review. I checked out their propaganda ------if true---- well worth $500. From what I saw-----things I didn't like: 1) ballast is part of the hood taking up valuable vertical space instead of...

@HighLowGrow, Great thread----one of the best I've seen in years. IMO, this needs to be a sticky in the autos forum. Alaric~~~

So that's not an auto????? Autos was what I was asking your opinion on. Side note: FYI just in case you're interested. Youtube video about how this guy made a water tight seal for the 5" fence post without glueing the end caps. (I thought it was very clever). Did a search aeroponics...

Hey Stinky, Have You taken any of those strains to harvest? If so, can you provide any feedback about seed to harvest time and your favorite smoke. My assumption about autos?????? Great for potheads that don't have the facilities (space) to maintain a dark cycle? Also, can buds be kept for...

Thanks for clearing up the weight thing:clap: I was under the impression you were trying to have your staggered harvest plants all the same distance from the light? If so, two ways I know to do it. 1) scorg with recirculation in totes/buckets. 2) height adjustable hanging tubes running...

^^10 zips (dried bud weight) each plant x 6 plants=60 zips or 3.75 lbs from a 1K hps:o:o:o Wish I could do that-----why change anything?

Thanks for answering my ?s about autos. I'm confused (as usual)----when you say "3 not in flower"----I thought autos have that biological clock thingie? Also, how many watts to produce 10-14 zips from 6-8 plants? A~~~

Are you determined to have every plant at different stages? If it could be 1/2 the plants beginning at the same time and the other 1/2 later----I can show you how---if not----I have an untested idea. Also, I have no experience with autos-----can you tell me how big they are at finish and how...

Around 1000 ppm (.7 conversion) all the way till chop.

Not "better"-----depends on strain how strong I don't flush---- would be more hassle that it's worth harvesting 1 of 8 tubes every 7 days. No complaints from the hood about the taste----and they are picky bunch. My opinion why people flush hydro / aero is because nutes are very strong----all...
