I've had similar issues with my last grow with the roughneck leaking a little and was looking for something that I wouldn't have to babysit to replace it. Has the cooler taken care of the leak issues 100%??

BTW - The StinkBud aero setup IS all it's cracked up to be.

No leaks, 100 % better. The cooler is briliant, wish I could remember who I got the idead from.

hey NeL, how many plants will each post hold?

Well I'm undecided, Stinkbud has 4 inch posts and I think I'm going with 4.75 from Lowes. I believe they are supposed to have 7 per post.

have you figured out if you're running multiple strains together or 1 strain at a time?
Love the new Avatar D.:mrgreen:



I'm definatley doing 2 for sure. The Purple Power and the AK-47. I might do 3, we'll see about the rest. The Mendocino Madness has a smell like no other pot I've grown. The PP is very fruity/berry like. The AK-47 familar, The GD is just diesel tasting and the crooked P I don't have a description just yet.

last time i grew 2 strains in the same unit the sweet overtook the sensi and caused all kinds of trouble. ended up with stressed out seeded bud. not all of it just where they came together and fought. it was in a homemade 90 site aero. i'll put a pic up for you NeL. it was one of the coolest and dumbest things i've ever done...

glad you like the avatar, shows you my childish sense of humor.

donkey, love the mask! Did you build the aeroflo or buy? And does the sprayer spray into the water or on the net pot/roots? Still a little fuzzy on that. Thanks for any info.

thanks bob. i bought the 1st 30 site and built another 60 site just like it. the water line inside shoots streams to the other side where it splashes. no sprayers. here's my journal link reversing my osmosis to get more aero in my ponics since then i've disassembled that and made 3 separate units but i gave one to my neph.
nice guy helpin out the family ;-)

do the lines ever clog up and need to be cleaned like needed with sprayers?
Im looking into making myself a little 3.5 x 3.5 square aero setup pretty soon and like this idea of no sprayers bongsmilie

nah never clogs on me. i buy new laser lines every 3 crops or so. they're only ten bucks a piece at the hydro store which means you can probably find em on the net for 3-5. i have an ro system and chem ferts so my water is pretty clean. if using tap water you may run into problems tho.

Well I'm only going to run 1 strain per setup, 3 setups total. As for the nutes I'm using botanicare so I'm sticking with the sprayers for now but see myself using the laser lines down the line. I'm going to start with the StinkBud setup and probably going to remake the aeroflo, just seems cleaner. The guys at the local hydro shop all use botanicare. Not that that says much because I could grow with fucking MG if needing, just makes me feel I'm heading in the right direction you know.


I'll be building another cloner maybe 2. I figure I'll isolate each strain to a cloner, veg and flower unit. At least it sounds good in my head, we'll see how it all plays out. Maybe I'll end up renting a house and just filling the fucking thing. That is really my goal in the next year is to bring my outside, inside. The guerilla shit is just so damn labor-some and dangerous. Fun and scary at the same time. Inside i can control everything, it's just a matter of $$$.
