To All That Are Interested!!
I have been using Aeroponic's for the last 10 year's, I did alot of research back many Moon's ago, Built many trial model's Till I was satisfied.
This Model is easy to connect with many or stand alone. Easy to interchange part's, @ maintain, With great root structure's and plant developement.
Hope this can help any-one or give new idea's to the table. Thank's!....Later
More Picture's of the Pod's........Later
OK more pic's of the Pod's, @ a picture of the different Lid's I use for different stage's.
Thank's for checking out this thread @ Hope It Can Help??!!.....Later
awesome!
do you use those for flowering too?
NICE! I imagine your using a in-line pump?

Thank you for stopping in!!!!.........Later
Budcronicindo, Hey What's UP?!!!.......,Yes I use in-line, @ submersilbe pump's, I like high velocity pump's, 1-better mist @ oxygen mix. I also have several screen's @ filter's to keep debris out of the mister's. Yes they do clog ever now and then, but can go many month's with-out any problem's.Quote:

Thats awesome Hatch.. Thanks for posting your setup.. How many watts do you run per rubbermaid? For veg, and flowering...Also how long do your moms stay in the rubbermaids? Very interested in this as i'm trying to figure out the best system for me..Buckets were def a pain in hte ass last time..but i didnt have a seperate res either...Anyway thanks again!
This is a great photo thread and I hope everyone takes note of the different lids- Hatch is doing what everyone who is interested in efficient use of available light should do, by arranging the lids so that there is a continuous canopy at all life stages, and no light is 'lost' to the surface of the tubs.
OK watt's per sq. Clones 34.56, Veg & Mom's 53.79, and Flower 66.66.Quote:

Hope that help's ........Later
Miss Stinky, HYWT'SUP?!!!!, Thank you. You hit the Nail on the Head with one Smack!!!!HEHE......Later
Nice set up. Im in the middle of building an aeroponic set up myself.
How does your 1/4" tubing attach to the 1/2" pvc exactly? Ive been using brass fittings but they are expensive and it takes a couple to go from 1/2" to a 1/4" hose. Yours looks like the 1/4" tubing hooks right into some pvc. It look much less expensive, are they leakproof?
Yes they are leakproof!!Quote:

Hope that help's??......Good Luck........Later
Thanks man, I must've missed that picture the first time through.
Where do you find the risers at, and what are they called?
Here is some stuff I use, riser, mister, filter's,basket's,neopren's.
More.
Where I get my stuff.
I had it figured some-where how much each Pod & all the plumbing, pvc fitting's, 7 mister's & riser's in each one, Was about $24.oo each complete Pod.
Hope that help's.
Hey Hatch I really like your setup, and it has inspired me to build one of my own. I have a few questions though.
1.What do you use as a reservoir, and what kind of hose do you use?
2.What kind of pump is that and whats the PSI or GPH on it??
3.How many gallons of water does the system need?
4. Whats your pvc tube size? 1/2 inch?
I looked at Lowes, and I think I can build the system for $120 which is reasonable. Keep up the good works!!!
A-1.) They are 20gal. & 30gal Res. I got them at the Hydro Store. The Hose is 3/4 nylon braded clear Hose. You can get at Lowe's.Quote:

A-3.)That kind of up to what, where, & when, in as how many Pod's, Plant's, ect...ect....
A-4.) I use 3/4, there are alot of fitting's that have Thread's, that work great, & I don't have to reduce up or down.
I think from container to mister's, working, each of My Pod's are about $25.00.
Thank's for Hanging out!!!!!:jointsmile::jointsmile:
:pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp:
:wtf:Mister's in action. Great Oxygen, Nut's, Water Mixture!!!!:wtf::thumbsup:
:pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp:
Great pictures man, there really helping me out trying to round up all the supplies. I've been looking to build a system for awhile, just never had the space but now I do. If I got any more question I'm sure you'll hear from me, and I'll post some pics as soon as I can.
Anyways thanks again Hatch, you're an asset to this forum and community. K++
I just kinda came up with this off the top of me head, but I think it will work.
I do the same type of mister setup, but instead of having the water leaving and re-entering. I make it so the water never leaves the pod, by having a submersible pump connected to the pipe inlet at the bottom of the pod. That way the only thing I have to do is plug in the pump.
The only problem I can think of is if the 14 gal container won't hold the amount of water that I need, and have enough room for the misters to spray.
Lemme know what you think.
If You are going to have just 1-Pod??? You could get a 10gal & a 14gal. have Your water & all in the bottom, Have a drain in the top Pod, Also running Your Hose to the Mister's from the Pump running in the same hole. That way it would be easier to change the water. Maybe so Maybe No???
Ya I like that. I think that will prob work the best. I like that stacked idea because it will be higher off the ground also.
Is that just a regular tub/shower drain?
Thanks hatch, you always got the good ideas.
Good, I didn't know if height would be a factor!!!! Ya, Hope that will be easy, & fast to get-together.
I think they are for sink's??? I wouldn't get those, they are high!!! I think they have plastic one that aren't that bad. But You might just need to make the hole for the drain in the bottom of the Pod like 1 1/2", & maybe the one in the lid of the res. like 3"??? No need in wasting $$$ when You don't have to, EH!!!:thumbsup:
Well good dill, Now get to work!!!!!!:D:D:stoned::stoned:
:pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp:
Okay I went out and bought all my stuff today, and it only cost me $45 bucks (cheaper than what I thought).
I was looking at pumps and I think I found one that will work. I don't understand though the difference between and in-line and submersible? Are they the same thing? Anyways am I right to think a pump with a higher GPH rate will be less noisy than a lower GPH pump?
Thanks ya'll...
Sorry heres the link of the pump I'm looking at:Quote:

The pump you are looking at can do both, in-line, or submerge. OK a in-line-pump, You plumb it in to the side of Your Res. & A Submersible-pump, goes it-to Your Res. I would advise you to just submerge the pump, easier, & You don't have to worry about drilling a hole in the side of Your Res., & get it silled back up.
Glad it was Cheaper than You Planed, That's alway's a Good Thing:thumbsup:
:pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp:
Alright 24 hrs later, alot of pvc cutting, and dremel-ing I think I have built a pretty good setup (with alot of excellent advice from hatch). I found that the 10 gal is too small with the risers so I'm thinking of using that for my reservoir. But will it be too small???
The only thing I need now is the nutes, pump, and sink drain.
What ya'll think???
Fuck'n A My Brother, That look's Awesome, You have Great Skill's!!!!~~:jointsmile::thumbsup::D
:wtf:OK, When You get the Pump, & Play around with it. Main thing to look for is (1) the pump is strong enough!!~~(2) make sure,{ what size Basket's are You going to use??} Any way you might have to adjust the hieght of the riser's. Just make sure they are getting the Basket's good & Wet!!!:cool:
Man, Great, Your almost Ready!!!!~~~~:thumbsup:
:pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp:
Ya the pump is the only thing I'm worried about. I don't wanna buy a pump and find out its not of high enough pressure (that would suck).
Ya I was looking at your pics, and I'm guessing your risers are like 2-3 inches from the top??
I might need to build a stool under the pvc or something. As for the pot size I wanna use the system for vegging and then later for flowering. So I realize I'm gonna have to have 2 lids, 1 lid with more holes and smaller pots, and another with fewer holes and larger pots. (Maybe 3 inch for vegging and 5 inches for flowering???)
What size pots are you using???
:Tomcat: <===== Look what I found!!! lol
That's One Bad Ass AireeoooPlane, Your'a Jetting around in there Bro!!~~~~~~~~~~~~ I use 2" pot's all the way, From Clone to Finish. The Root's Just Grow out of the bottom like Crazy. I don't like messing with dirt or a bunch of Rock's. When it's done I just have the Root's & Plug for waste!:thumbsup:!!Nice:thumbsup:
Just keep Your reciept. They should exchange the pump if it's not big enough. & just get a bigger one.!!!
Can't wait till you get it all running!:stoned::stoned:
:pimp::pimp::pimp:
This is a really cool setup you have Hatch! If I ever decide to try an aeroponic system, this is exactly the kind I want to use. Thanks for posting all the info and pics
Alright I bought my nutes today, Flora Nova Grow & Bloom, I picked up some 3in pots with neoprene lids. Now I'm just waiting for it all start to roll on in.
Hey hatch what do you use to start your seedings? I'm thinking of rock wool or something that wont make the water dirty any suggestions???
I use Rapid Starter Plug's!!! I have never used rockwool. But I have seen My Share of people have problem's. you can get the Rapid Starter's with the Tray & Dome, Work's Great.
Did You get a pump???
Thank's Bro. No Big Deal, Just Hope the Info Can help other's!!!:DQuote:

Goood Luck on what ever You have Going!!:thumbsup:
:pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp:
Yep, I got a 1600 gph pump, and I think it will work fine. I also got my quad T5 fixture w/ 2 veg 2 bloom bulbs. I'm just waiting and hoping it all arrives in one piece.
I'm still trying to find a way of putting on a filter though. I bought some mesh filter inserts but their to big for the 1/2 in pipe. Is a filter really needed, and doesn't the pump have one? (mine is submersible)
Ya they have a mess bottom, Your best bet is to do it right of the pump. You'll need to get some adapter's & reducer's. Just put it in the line that goes to the mister's. Yes, You need in to keep tiny trash peices out of the line befofe the mister's or they will clog up.
I was thinking, OK Your stacking over the Res. . Make sure you have enough slack in the line to the mister's, to unstack, or Just think how You are going to disconnect to change the nut's & Res. water???
Sound's Great!!!! I'm excited for You!!!~~~~ It's coming Together!!!!:thumbsup:
:pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp:
It all turned out better than I could have been planned. My pump came in and it ROCKS!!! Its nearly silent and pumps more than enough water pressure. I solved the filter problem, by buying a Mister Landscaper hose filter (with a few adapters) and it fits right on the pump. Cutting the holes in the plastic bins was the hardest part by far.
I am still waiting on my Gypsy Nirvana seeds, but they did ship'em so they (hopefully) should be here in a week or so. Other than that, my light comes tomorrow, so I can finally start getting it all set up.
Question for ya hatch, where does the water spray hit your net pots? I ask because, only about the bottom 1/2 of the pots are getting wet. Does the spray need to be hitting the neoprene??? If so I'm gonna have to find a way to raise the pvc.
Thanks hatch, I couldn't have done it without you !!!
