Here is a few pictures of my newest vertical system.
I built it completely from materials form Home Depot and other equipment suppliers.
Basic frame made from 2" pvc central vacuum pipe.
Bottom gutter made of 4" PVC pipe sections connected (glued) by 45 degree 4" PVC elbows and then cut in halves longitudinally.
Rockwool slabs I used for this one are regular 48 inch grodan slabs, which I cut in halves to make short 2' slabs.
Basic frame and drainage cost about $250 - $300.
I figure this can work with a 600 watt light as well if I use cool tube with it.
If there is enough interest in this thread, i will gladly post more detailed build up and
other ideas too.
Cheers!
Design seems sturdy. Please,
let me know what you think. Any additions, suggestions?
