So after reading through this thread, I have a few questions. In your setup you don't mention c02 until the tenth page. Is it mandatory for this whole set up to function with c02? If you did not have it run through the pvc pipe how do you distribute it to each plant? tubing .... placed where? around the roots? near the top of the plants? Thanks for your help.

They look quite stretched and sparse to me.

Apparently my question on width of the frame for flowering is lost on everyone for some reason. What is the standard width as per the plans? If there is anyone, anyone at all on these forums that can answer me.....please for the love of all things simple can someone tell me?

I know somewhere in this thread there is a PDF that someone put together that included all of the dimensions, I didn't have much luck with search, anyone else recall? Although this design is one where you can variate to suit your grow space.
I for one mounted my posts horizontally and made 8 hole on each post, 4.5" apart - I can always cover every other hole if I intend to do bigger plants.

I'm really not trying to be a dick about this even though I may sound like one now 
So far I have three answers:
1. You can vary the size of the parts to suit your grow room environment.
2. You can find the diagrams / tuts on page 75
I honestly do appreciate your guys help but it appears no one in this thread can tell me what the outside measurement is of the frame. I'll just let this go because I must be missing something. I basically figure:
1. I am asking something overly complicated that no one knows on this forum or can answer.
2. I am asking something so simple it just confounds the bright minds in this thread
3. No actually knows its one of the universes mysteries...
I'm going for number 3. Is there really a reason why this question is so difficult that no one can just post the answer (no not the PDF) I'm not trying to piss people off or confuse people I just don't know how I can put this any simpler.
1. Question
2. Answer = ???
I'm guessing that the plants basically need a 1ft x 1ft to grow well no?
If my question is too hard, let's just go real life, for those of you have built the system as per the plans what are YOUR measurements from outside frame to outside frame?

That was my first Aeroponic system I bought made by a company called Astrogrow. I learned a lot with that system both good and bad.
Here are some of the things I learned from using that system.
1) Hoses leak. The more hoses, the more leaks.
2) The more connection points you have, the more leaks you will have.
3) EZ-Clone sprayers are designed to spray up not down.
4) Just because your nutrients are organic dosen't mean you don't have to flush.
5) Ease of maintenance is just as important as performance.
6) It only takes one small leak (for a long time) to cause a flood!!!!!!
When I thought about my design one of my main concerns was leaking. I wanted to be sure that even if I had a total sprayer failure the water had only one place to go...back into the reservoir.
Maintenance was the other concern. Simplicity is key. I don't want to spend all day cleaning shit. If it's not fast and easy for me it's history.

I'm running the small 24" 2-light HO fluorescents right now and they are really nice because the size is perfect for the cloner.
At the same time I would have no problems recommending 3-shop lights over both the clone and veg unit together. You can get the shop lights at Wally's for $7. Simple cool white bulbs are best.
You can run the lights 24/7 no problem.
Spend the money on your flower lights instead. That's where you will see the most yield for your dollar. Lot's of light and CO2 in your flower room is way more important than what you use for clone and veg.
Check out Dirt's posts and you will see what I mean. If anything his veg plants are too big!

If two wasn't enough, here's a third solution for connecting the pump to the rest of the PVC: p/n 56125 at Lowe's. That particular one is a 1/2" x 10" PVC nipple, found by all the other PVC stuff. I measured and cut it, it screws right into the pump and slips into the tee going to the sprayers. Even one less joint to seal is good for me, I'm not a big fan of that PVC cement.
They have longer ones too, I'm going to pick another one up and use it in place of the downspout on the veg unit.
That would be the best solution yet! Just like you say the less connections the better. I wonder if it is a standard stocked item at HD. I'm going to check next time I'm there.
Thanks for your help Bro!!

CO2 is a nice thing to have. It will increase your harvest about 20-30% but you will still have a nice harvest without it.
It given the choice between more light and CO2 I would pick light every time.

16" for the frame. The widest point is actually the container/reservoir. The containers are 24" wide.
Here are the specs:

These containers works just as well for the Aero/NFT system. They are cheaper and easier to find.

I would say the plants need a minimum of about 30" to be happy. More would be better. Any less space would be better off with a single fence post system.
Good luck on your build, Sorry for being an idiot.
I completely blame the bubble hash on top of the Blueberry and assume no responsibility for my actions!

Because I have a feeling they may be having a big piece of humble pie.
Every time I put my plants into flower I wonder how the fuck they are going to get as big as the girls next to them. Every time they do...
If you have enough light your plants will take off over the next three weeks and grow enormous!
Are you flowering yet? If you vegged them for another two weeks you could double your harvest. If you need medicine now then go ahead and flower them.
In your case a small amount of patience will pay off big time in the end.
Looking good Bro!

I built mine custom but if you read the plans the frame width is about 16" the widest point would be the res about 24" the plans are written extremely well by stinkbud it would be best to read the thread and the pdf I beleive pg75
Sorry Stinkbud didn't finish reading new post and eeen several from him seeming urgent

Right on, I'm doing a small scale version of your setup. My rules for growing in my area are more strict than yours I'm afraid. Only 12 immature and 6 mature. So I can only have 1 flower cycle going at one time. Which basically means to start I'll go 3 weeks cloner, 3 weeks vegger, then takes some clones from my vegger back to the cloner and flower those bad girls. But since the flower process is like 9+ weeks, my clones will go 3 weeks, then into veg where they will have to sit for 6 weeks approximatly.
Will a 6 week long veg be a problem? I'll prolly have to keep trimming em to keep the size regulations down, but is over-vegging a problem? And should I still change the res on my vegger overy 3 weeks?
I'll definatly just get some cheapo wally lights with cool whites. But I don't think I'll go 24/7 because they have to Veg for such a long time I don't wanna have to trim the plants every couple of days.
