awesome! i love those rapidrooters. i don't think i'm going to use anything else at this point. i also like hydroton in the netpots for aero. i think once i get my climate completely controlled i'll be all set.

 

[LoudBlunts]

hell yea.


well i tried the coco starter plugs because they came free in the system....they are actually plugs tho....they are like little pucks of coco and expand when water is added

A question for you:

What size is the rez for your aero setup?

It holds 6 full-sized plants, correct?

I'm asking so I can design my own aero for a SoG using clones trying to keep them as small as possible.. they will only be in for 8-10 weeks. Trying to get the right size rez and the right size tub for root growth.

It holds six plants but you'd have to trim the hell out of them. i find 3 to be more comfortable. but if you wanted to keep them short and not too wide you could fit six i guess.

the rainforest says it is an 18 gallon but i put 20 gallons into it and use a garbage can for a back-up res for adding water and/or changing nutes. I think i'd prefer a larger 30-40 gallon res if i build something.

Cool.. I'm watching seemorebuds DVD.. more than I can afford.. but they never changed the rez unless they need to (nute defficiency, algae, ect.). So many things they did were different from what hydro growers have stated.. and shit.. those buds were enormous!

I'll just have to play with my setup when I get it going.. H2O2 is a must to keep the rez clean.. and a pH modifier is also needed to maintain the pH.. if I need it to go up I'll just use the tap water as it is around 8.2 here.. and the nutes bring it down quite a bit.

They used Hana meters.. very expensive, but apparently worth it.

I gotta go watch it again!

I think I can get by with a 20-30 gallon rez for an aero system.. the roots will pretty much be suspended in air being sprayed.. I'm also astonished by how they used 2" net-cups and still produced HUGE plants.

I'm gonna pack this shit in and see what happens!

you can get different lids for the rainforest.
rainforest 66 = 6 6"
rainforest 318 = 18 3"
rainforest 236 = 36 2"

When I saw what size of a plant came out of a 2" pot.. shit.. pack 'em in!
