The "Madman goes Aero" building thread

[Zandor]

Latewood; You wrap the sides and bottom with that stuff, the idea is to keep the water at an even temperature from the top of the water to the bottom of the water res. Harbor freight tools have the PVC welders on sale for 25 bucks. Most others are selling the same tool for as much as 500 bucks so the 25 is a good deal. Take them up on their offer for the extended warranty too. Just remember to start the airflow before you plug it in. Don't stop the airflow until well after you turn off the heat so it cools down.

The "Madman goes Aero" building thread I would like to request that you view, but, PLEASE DO NOT reply to this thread until I can finish Phaze1 tonight :) I would like to post all the build in real-time order before we start comments. Thanks, for all your cooperation ahead of time! :cool: I have been threatening to build a system. Well, I started tonight. I am going to build the 1st Phaze of a 3-4 Phaze system; that will be powered by a 600 gph 1/2 hp clear water pump.. I am tired of lugging water and nute solution around Rating: 5

Any of you know where to get rectangular plastic pipe/PVC? I'd like to build a NFT system but I haven't found a good source for the pipe.

Also wanting to build an aero (cloner) system but not sure how to pick the right pump. I'm sure it's based on the diameter of the pipes and the number of sprayers involved...if anyone can show me the math I'd appreciate. I'm always impressed with your projects latewood.

American Hydroponins or I think it is amhydro.com has nft trays for sale. I believe they come in 12' lengths for around 100 bucks with netpot holes...I was going to buy some, but I have decided to just buid my system out of many 10 gallon/17tq. tubs. This way I have plenty of clearence for massive root systems (right now my Misty Blue is filling one of these tubs :dance: go aero for clones and seedlings and drip for flower...I still Love DWC

Misty Blue and Blueberry-Jack Herer clones...6 regular clones taken 4th week.
1/2 of them got eaten by a moth...so I cut 3 more clones from my DWC Misty2 plant and transplanted them directly into hydroton bubbler to see if they would root. I kept one for a mother and the other 2 are the clones in the 5" (bigger) netpots...so I have 8 clones in Mad Aero Tubs

1. had these clones cut for this project...
2. after 1/2 of cuttings got eaten by moth, I cut these and transplanted them directly into hydroton bubbler, and had 100% success rooting them...
3. nice roots, ready to veg

1. roots of one of the girls in the left tub...
2. roots in right tub...
3. Growth of 2nd week flower clones...
4. roots of flower clones
5. Here they are today.

Interesting thought of the day: ...clones take on the same age as the mother that you take them from, so even though I took these snd week of flower clones a 3-4 weeks after the others...they are the same age

see ya next week.lw
