Default Build your own misting/hydro unit

You need a kiddie pool from Wally World and a 4x8 piece of styrofoam....cut the 4x8 in half and then cut 10 holes in each side, your almost done. Mix up your nute water and put it in a 3 gallon pail w/ three single head misters and an air stone, set the pail in the pool, put your styrofoam w/ holes on top of pool and drop your plants in net pots in each hole. Turn power on and watch them go.
This system takes all the pumps, cleaning, stopping up out of the game. U use half the water and 1/4 the nutes. If you need to transfer some because of growth rate all u have to do is pick up the pot and put it in another 5 hole tote. I was able to eliminate all of my pumps..air and water, except for the one air pump. If you have a problem w/ heat, u can put a bottle of frozen water in the pail and it keeps the temps down. My humidity dropped about 36% w/ this system.

Hey BD,

Good to see you posting, and hoping you are feeling better....

I did the big shopping gig, and came home with a bunch of new goodies, including some serious lumens, and enough gear to get me started on hydro. In fact, picked up 2 Cinderella clones (big enough that I can cut 2-3 clones off of each) tonight that I am going to work with using the system we chatted about. All I am needing is the material that goes in the net cup, those clay rocks and the misters. Been hitting all the local shops and everyone is out due to Holloween coming...I guess smoldering cauldrons are in this year...

Talk to ya tomorrow...

Default Not missing anything

You can find these kind of thing in the FAQs and DIY forums.

Besides the thread is over a year old and the poster has been banned so he can't answer you.
