thats a pretty sweet setup u got there.. i've been to afraid to make the switch to hydro setup.. Your setup looks very clean and simple. Did you just put it together yourself.. or did you check out any tutorials? +rep by the way

go pick up a 1 minute on 4 minute off timer for your pump, it will cost about 80 dollars but it's well worth it.

Pretty cool. I think you convinced me to go with the container on top of container design. Do you think having some water in the root bucket for a bubbler as a backup is a good idea or would that ruin the whole purpose of doing aeroponics?

Oh, and there is a hack of turning a westek timer into a 35 minute timer instead of 24 hours so it gives you like 45 seconds intervals. (check youtube) I plan on doing 50 seconds on, 3.5 minutes off.

Did your plant flower? Do you have any other pics?

What is the round thing you use for drainage?

It's exactly like the Stinkbud veg unit but his has a lot more holes. I have one and it works great.

HI everyone, Im new to this site and I have a question. Not sure if Im in the right spot here...maybe someone could help me out a bit.....Anyway...I recently started with bubble and aeroponics...very new to me....what Im trying to figure out is how to muffle the noise from the bubbles/water. It is a necessity,..they are in an enclosed room..but quite obvious that something is going on in there....any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to RIU chico. You just hijacked the thread but I'm guessing the OP will give you a pass since you're brand new. You could try using two airstones, the bigger the better, and you can insulate the outside of the rez to cut down on the noise.
