6 inch PVC aeroponics tube system
Hi Old Grower, Well I am amazed the plants are still alive, been a little worried the leaves had a few very small brown spots on them, but since I have redone the nutes and raised it to 530ppm, ph6(ish) it seems good and they are expanding well, Funny you know I am starting to see how nice it...

Oh wow, nice. When I started looking into Lpa I seen the 6" pvc runs, I seriously considered trying those out and setting mine up the same way.
I opted to go with 27g totes and was planning to run pvc to each tote connected to a pvc diy
Manifold with sprayers.
What size Rez are you using? How often you topping off or doing res changes? What are you ph'ing at?
Sorry for all the questions, your doing it, might aswell ask the guy that's doing it lol

My setup came from this great thread
Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks! | Rollitup
I used 6" PVC because the fence post covers were not available, I do recommend the post covers the round tubes are hard to seal around the net pots, I use foam weather strip and change it every grow.
Totes should work fine, be sure to locate sprayers between net pots not directly under them. I use a 35 gal res because that is what I found at farm store. I use the green color sprayers they never clog red ones do. Put a sediment filter in the line feeding the sprayers. Got mine at hardware store in plumbing section at well pump area.
Be sure you will be able to get to the drain hole inside. The roots will will will clog it sooner or later. Gently pull roots out and relocate them. I pull the ends off my tubes every 2 weeks and clear drain hole.

Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!
Outdoor growers are heading inside now so I thought if might be a good time to start a thread on how you can harvest a pound every three weeks from a 7x8' closet. I'll take you through my process from start to harvest. What is different about my system vs. others? 1) 3 separate Aero/NFT...
