How do,

I'm new here but I've been growing with an aeroflo 36 for about 16 months. It's nice to finally find someone else who also uses one of these. We seem to be few and far between. Perhaps we can share tips and tricks.

I built my own misting aerocloner not long ago, which I made to use 3 inch netpots and neoprene inserts. Cuttings go in there for 3 weeks, then I pop the rooted clones straight into the aeroflo. No transplant issues, and the roots are in the spray from the moment they go in there. I run with the drain tubes all the way down, all the time. When it's done, the netpots and inserts go in the trash. No more soaking, flushing, soaking, putzing with hydroton!

Plants do very well with this setup. I'll post a pic if you like, but I don't want to derail your thread, just wanted to say howdy. :)

i know theres a way to make one of these machines from scratch...just do a goodle search..."DIY aeroflo" or something like that. i would try to explain it, but i would just confuse you.

Just Subscribed. Nice grow you got going there. I'm still in the planing stage for my grow room. But will be using the same type of setup. One question, Would it be better to have more space between the rows of grow tubes sites to allow for better light penetration?

P.S what is AFGOO??

I just got ahold of some GDP clones myself. Excited to see if I can get them to purple or not. I keep hearing this is done with lower night temps. Great job man! I'll be watching!

i know with the 60 site aeroflo you can get a manifold to offset the tubes...the res would be in the middle, 3 tubes on either side of the res. but i seem to do ok with the way its set up. afgoo was the strain i grew before this gdp..its 100% indica, has a nice fruity smell..
