enough room for roots?

[hatch]

Yes that size will be great!, Have you found any basket's for the site's??? Look's like a 2" would work great, Get to building/`~\,/`~

Ok so im thinking wither ebb and flow or dwc. dwc sounds easier but also requires more maintenance (i could have a water valve open up and drain the bucket so i can refill..) than the ebb and flow. but im also looking for which system would grow faster and stronger plants (ive read thats where dwc comes in). i want a system that requires almost no cleaning/flushing (if possible). any ideas????

Go Aeroponic's in the PVC, on each side of the site, drill 5/16" hole, about 2 1/2" from center of site. Take the 1/4" tubing, put it through the hole you just drill'd, push it through so you can pull it through the site, srcew a mister on it, & pull the slack you pushed in back, so the mister is at the top of the tube, upside down.

It will be out of the way of the root development inside the tube. Take the other end of the 1/4" tubing to the feeder bar, & start setting up the next one.

Maybe this will give you some Idea's:wtf:imp:imp:

As for the leak's, Yes plan ahead & don't run any electric where might develop a problem. And all together I have 34 Pod's running at all time's, 7-20gal. res. and have never had a major problem.

Use good material's, make good working design, and do a good job in construction!!!

Here is what inspired me to build the Pod's like I have!!

hatch, how long do i spray the roots for? like 30 sec every half an hour? also does this setup look ok? does the return water need to be above the res? im assuming it does in the drawing.

No, I use the timer's with the 15-min. each on. And let it run for the 15-min every 4 to 5 hour's. The root's need time to dry out a little & get some air.

In any Hydro system you can still over water Plant's if you are'nt care-ful. & with you misting strait to the root's, your ppm or ec doesn't need to be very high. You can over nut them quick if it's to strong!!

Well hope that might help, &&Good Luck:thumbsup:imp:imp:imp:

Hey hatch thanks alot for your input, but I got another couple of questions..:hippy:

should i use these sprayers?
Botanicare : Product Overview : Accessories
or Botanicare : Product Overview : Accessories, or both?

I think I will have two lowryders in the system so how many jets do you think I should have? 1 spinner sprayer and 2 180deg sprayers? also how big does the container have to be for the roots? if im only growing two lowryders how large of a container should i have? should i have a separate reservoir or should i just have the pump in the root container (doesn't sound like a good idea to me but i'm sure you know). I know i am pretty much asking you to help me design the setup but you said you have 10+ years of experience in this and I want the best aeroponic setup i can make. Thanks alot!!!!!:rastasmoke:
(also what size pump should i use for the amount of sprayers and plants?)

[physicsnole]

also what ppm would be best?
