Awesome! I'm fairly experienced in hydroponics, so hit me up if you need any help with nutrients, lighting, etc!

I notched the edge of my lid for my hose. Makes it way easier to mess with resevoir.

hm, good idea

It's a lot easier. I used dark hoses to keep algae from growing. You can run into that problem with clear hoses.

Yep looking good bro, the pointer about the black tubing is spot on and drilling a hole just under the lip on the side. Looks pretty cool. Yea a Norther blew in today fixing to set up my Black Buckets so I can have something green to look at this winter.

Be Well

what do you plan on putting in the aeroponics?

the reason i ask is i have 1 bhut in a 5 gallon just like yours with the hydroton, and it is very heavy, i have had to weigh on side down with 15 pounds of iron weights, that set up would be good for small plants, maybe dragon Thia's but nothing big

i'm sold on dwc, if a pump goes down {and it will} you can save it fast

Great!! :-)

you should reallly keep clones under a humidity dome untill they grow roots... they cannot get water from their root when they are clones because they have no roots... so they need humidity to keep them alive.... i highly doubt they are going to take root being out in the open like that.

 

[romy6]

Any updates on those clones ?

Looks good Pex.

That is a lot of HPS lighting. Bet the electric bill is fun to pay. But they will surely keep those plants growing nicely.
