Not an aero it's DWC, my plants didn't do well in aero at all so I went with what I know and they're good now. This is my first run in a perpetual setup so I can't give info on yields. As far as how I'm setup what info are you looking for?

I thought you was doing aero with your res next to the ones you was planting in..

For all that keep up on this thread this is my setup in my flower area. The 4 tubs you see each hold 12 plants. I'll harvest 1 tub every 2 weeks. My lighting situation it's still the same: 1 Solis Tek ballast, 1 ballast splitter, 2 Solis Tek 600 watt digital lights and 2 Raptor 6in reflectors. I might upgrade my setup later so I can pull a tub off every week.

whats going on fellow growers i have been searching for quite sometime for a useful chat on this site. i read through this thread from the beginning and really impressed with what i have seen. i just purchased a new aero system for this run of grows, i grew dwc drip system for the the past 8 or 9 years but decided it was time for something new. i now start my seeds in an aerogarden which i have done since day one. i have a 30 site cloner in a 5 gallon bucket with two sprayers that works like a charm. i veg in 5 gallon buckets also with net pot filled with hydroton that i drop in the lid. my flower room is the new system i just purchased that was custom made for me utilizing sprayers and fog/ mister heads and the buckets are 13 gallons i have 4 buckets. on top of the controller is a bucket that is set up to constantly have a vortex of 3 gallons of water to keep everything nice and mixed and drains into the controller.
i keep my pumps running 24/7 i was wondering why you run your pumps on a timer?

i also was glad to see that other dry with the leaves still on. i did it by accident the first time because i was to blazed and tired to finish so i just threw it in the dry room and the results were great , now thats how i dry all the time

Speaking of adding a tent.. My tents are running at 77 degrees... I would like to keep it there... I have a inline fan and a couple of duct boosters, and a scrubber... I also have a 400 hps that I'm gonna put in my flower with my LEDs tomorrow... Should I attach the scrubber to the back of the inline or put in my flower tent to get best air pull, if I'm gonna connect to all of my tents?

I don't run my pump on my clones 24/7 to avoid rot.
