side note
just like to start by saying whats up 2 everybody, the usual's that i see a lot of post from ( you know who you are. informative). it's been about a year or more sense i posted anything worth reading and even then i don't think i contributed too much to this forum which is the only one i've actually been on to this point.

So, I'm on the road to airoponic and phasing soil out, and i went big, too big i don't know this are some of the answers i will be finding out. i used two 70g reservoirs ( they were just there seemed like a good idea) and cut 56 three inch holes on the bottom of one of them. i new very little about airo, still do, i didn't have the internet yet so i had to just wing it. one of my friends made a few Rubbermaid tubes and got inspired by the ez cloner which had worked great for both of us. which is why we used the same sprayers for this monster. Also have two 4in air stones runing on one of those big white air pumps from a failed 5 site 5g DWC set up from deep water inovations or some shit. would also like to know if this fogger deal would be a good idea for my set up, i've read good and bad and can't come to a conclusion.

my first run was a disaster, i had run a 20gpm submersible pump in the res without a recycling timer (which i had no idea even existed) and after four days i had a bunch of limp soggy moldy purple urkls, lost about 70% . i cooked the roots! wasn't even thinking about the water heating up, a lot. so plan abandon and then my set up just sat around for a month.

round two only happen because of my friend success with his Rubbermaid's and he was doing experimental shit to his. so in this past week i found out about inline pumps. cast iron wasn't a great idea but i had no time my batch of clones sat in my ez cloner for too long and were starting to get that soggy shit on the roots and stem, i've heard you could veg in this things but after 14 days i always get this problem, anyone what I'm doing wrong?

so i got it set up, threw my clones and and ran the motherfucker, checked it the next day and had the same heat issue, looked around a few grow sites and got a timer 3 on 5 off and a electric temp gauge to be on the safe side. my temp dropped to about 87f. I'm guessing if i would have started with cold water it would level out at 74f 76f but who knows, i had hot water already and trying to cool it off. tonight May 10th in a desperate act i ran to the store and garbed two bags of ice and a block of ice, 7 pounders. i threw the block in the res and it melted in about 7 min and brought me down to to 74f for about 20 min ( i threw the other two bags on the pump), after an hour it climbed back up to 77f. and as i sit here typing i have turned the the pump off so it start cold, positioned the top res so its open and pointed a fan at the water to see if i can get it down to good temp, and hope that when i turn it back on it will level out some where reasonable and stay that way.

if anyone could point me in the right direction please do every bit helps. i will be updating this weekly hoping it will be use-full to other amtares out there!
