Ohhh... I thought so. bUt I thought some people grow regular plants in these systems, like in those seemore bud videos. that was a pretty nutso video, all done in an aeroponic chamber...
but anyway, I just came back from a little 4 day vacation, and am amazded at how rapedly my plants have grown. one grew about 5 inches up , and another 5 inches of roots since I left...
When will the rots stop? its like a swamp in there,... or a pot of spaghetti, some roots are at least 3 feet long, I'd say 3 and a half... and its only been 2 weeks!!! how big are these roots going to get?

Yeah these grow fast. In these tub type setups I like to do the lollipop method and get like 4or 5 main colas then trim the lower 1/3 away.Its easy to to get 2 oz per plant that way so figure 6 plants thats around 12 oz dry. The roots in aero get huge the roots in my bigger post setups I use get 8 to 10 feet in length and will grow in the tub til the plant takes up as much as it can then they stop once its at full intake capacitiy. The res will be filled completely by the end

Hello all great post was wondering if anybody found the spray heads for doing this setup I searched all over the site that was posted and couldn't find them. Also Fletch how bout some updates on where you got the drain out from the main tank and the fitting that goes in the top for the power line to the pump. Also I noticed on the revised system your only using a 480 gph pump instead of the 600 gph. Just some food for smoke.......er thought, well you know what I mean............

The link to the mister heads is here Alternative Garden Supply - Hydroponics & Indoor Gardening Super Store .The part that goes into the top for the cords is a rubber stopper with a hole drilled in just big enough for the cord then split from the center out so the cord can slide into it.The drain from amlocal hydro store.You need the valve and the flood table drain and a piece of 1/2 hose.The pump in these is a model 480 now which is actually closer to a 175-200 gph pump.

yeah a 480 would spit some water out lol but not needed.My goal is to use the smallest able pump to save on energy costs but not cut the performance short.Size varies on number of net pots though

Yeah the filthyfletch site is just got a place holder with 1 of my artists songs playing on it as I had it for a few years and was just bored so put that up as a holder as that site has been held over to be a pay per view porn site lol laugh real good but theres big money in those sites and the name fits good lol.The other site is just a holding advertising page til I load my stuff up.I get paid by those who have links on it kind of like a pay to park page.Helps pay the domain fee and a few extra bucks for hosting later.Ill let you know when I decide which is which and when its up
