Alright, sorry for so many pics at once, i was drawing some stuff and got carried away.
These are TOP views of areo chamber shapes. I would make the curved walls out of pvc sheets which come in 4x8 sheets, and can be cut easily.
These chambers would be about 4 or 5 ft tall, and have an area under them and have a rigid stand at the base and up on top to keep them in shape.
Under the chambers, there would be a shower bladder as sold at lowes, which comes in any length you want, and its prob 4 feet wide. This bladder would be sandwiched and secured between the bottom frame and the pvc walls, so all water running down would hit the bladder.
The bladder will have a bulkhead drain fitting, and gravity drain to a main pipe that comes around under each chamber, and ends at the res.
In one of the pictures, the orange boxes are the res's, and the orange arrows signify the flow of the drain pipe.
The drain pipe would be similar to what heath already has set up, just no plants growing out of it
As far as securing the platns to the vertical walls, i have a solution, but i dont have a way to picture it,a nd describing it wouldnt make much sense until i can picture it, but it involves using a pvc pipe, and dilling a hole in the wall, and using a 45deg pipe bend, and putting the netpot in the pipe, and having the other end of the pipe go through the wall.
Securing it is the tricky part, but ive got it figured out i think
Inside the chambers, there will be hp aero misters.
I drew up a bunch of configureations, but i like the ones at the bottom the best.
The red squares at the bottom represent additional floor sitting rubbermaids, which would have plants growing up from those as well, so you have walls and floor covered.
green represents faces of the chamber that have plants frowing from them.
to enter some of the grow rooms, if a single chamber was on wheels, it could be clocked, or rotated, thus allowing a person to enter the grow circle.
im still trying to figure out if i want to build a fram that has a curve to it, and what i would make it out of.
The curve actually helps the pvc sheet stay rigid vertically, kind of like tape measure tape does.
hope this helps you guys follow what im trying to do.
This one is probably my favorite tho, as far as being doable, and cheap, and still function as I want it to.
I forgot to put tubs on the floor too, but you get the idea.
I figure each one of these chambers would be about 4 ft long, and almost 2 ft wide.
so figure it will fit in a 15x8 ft area no problem... and chambers could be made shorter for a different sized area.
i put 2 orange res's in this one... but youd really only need one res,
but 2 would come in handy if you had 2 stages of plants, so you get kind of a perpetual harvest.
Tubs on the floor could also hold earlier clones that still need root development before being able to fully utilize the aero chambers setup
