Thought you might like to look under the hood of my HPA rig. You won't find such complex root systems until you start using high pressure. My method is simple. Most HPA rigs are a lot more complex. I probably achieve 90%+ of their results, which is awesome. That said my 21st Century F & D (pic #4) provides explosive growth, too. Due to fast draining lava rock (but tons of pockets to trap small amounts of nutes) I am able to flood ~ 45 minutes. You can barely see the pvc in the lower right corner, but it wraps the tote on 3 sides). I drilled holes in it so that when the low pressure pump comes on the holes shoot nutes out ala Bellagio. Some cascades into the top, some hits the sides, and some floods the bottom of the APs.

Them shits look nice man...Did you make that set up yourself?..What are those cups the lava rocks are in? They look like they have a bunch of holes for roots to climb out of i like it....also where did you get the lava rocks and if you did set it up your self anychance you can give me a break down of it sorry for the question bomb but it looks nice and neat and clean and i love that haha:blsmoke:

It's totally DIY. The first pics are second round photos. First round(pics below) I dumped the lava rock directly into the tote, but could not move plants around, though I grew one sweet big ass plant.

The Air Pots are great. They create tons of lateral roots and air prune them once they hit the air. Google for videos. I surmised the APs would be awesome in combination with F & D because they drain fast and hold some moisture between cycles.

First pics below is early pvc set up. Later I added side lengths with lots of holes. When the feed cycle clicks in it's like3 sided Bellagio. Nutes get super aerated splashing down onto the lava rock, draining down to the bottom then back to rez.

I am thinking of doing a journal, but you get the idea.

Pics from first go round. Plant was over 6ft tall. I snapped it at 3 ft then LSTd it to wrap around under the T5s.

Damn thats a pretty interesting set up...I consider myself more of the engineering style I can come up with something but building it I will fuck that up very easily..Thats why I just bought the aeroponic table....But if you do start a Journal let me know Id love to see how it works thru the growing cycle thanks for the pics and post +Rep

It is a definite issue that Im running into if you check out my videos that is only 30 plants under those lights so Im only using the table at half strength..I have a new grow going with different investors and they want to do 30 a month so i will be using a full table in about a month..I havent posted anything on that grow but its pretty much the same thing with more space to play with...But Im thinking going 4 600W lights instead of 2 1000W to distribute the light better...Also with this newest one Im topping all the plants and going to focus on colas and chop off side branches..I figure after a few grows ill have it dialed in

:joint:ha yea dude i love these tables i helped a buddy do a 120(two of those 60s next to each other) it was a lot of fun. if ihad the room for one in my house i would use one, also i suggest using the two 1000s over the 4 600s. i would definately use all the sites tho, just keep em short cut out almost all veg and just go straight to flower.
