Well first off i just moved to Colorado from St Louis i have done a few grows and all were successful using an AeroFlo 2 that i bought from the local Hydro Store there (In St Louis).The system seemed to work great along with Ionic neuts it was almost Idiot proof lol.So i take a break from growing for a few years and me and the family move to good ole Colorado.Well i sold all of my stuff that i had for the set up so instead of spending 400 on a new one i went to home depot and built my own.

1. 8 ft 5x5 white Vynle fence post. $24.00
4. 3/4 rubber grommets. $1.00 a piece
4. end caps for the fence post. $2.50 a piece
1. 550 g/p/h pump off of ebay. $40.00
1. 10ft 1/2 inch pvc pipe. $3.50
2 3ft scrap pieces of 1/2 in pvc pipe .99 cents a piece
2 1/2 inch elbow connectors.50 cents
1 1/2 inch t connector.50 cents
1 1/2 inch male screw in connector (for intake from pump) .50 cents
and used a tote that we had around the house.

This is what i came up with and it runs like a top

I also did away with the spray heads and just drilled 1/16th holes in the 1/2 in pipe way better results.The spray heads got clogged and didnt work the way i thought so the holes work much better.I just drilled one for each side of each pot 10 pot set up.........Any input would be a great help i have never tried this before i just went off the design from the Aeroflo 2.
 
Thanks alot man i see lots of view and no replys lol glad to see you stopped in to check it out Plants are still to young to take clones just yet but its getting close
 
Welcome addition to Aero supporters - looks like we got a dedicated person here - that's a good start already.
If you want to avoid all the mistakes I made during the last year - you might want to check out my journals - I always take tons of pics and explain every step of the process. One word of advice - you will surely will run into problems - be ready for that.
Have a dry/wet shop vac handy :) And buy some of those flood alarms and place in your grow - they are like $8 at Menards
You are welcome! Best of luck

:woohoo:


P.S. Buy blue sprayers instead -I tried reds and they flow a lot of water, but it doesn't spray, but rather releases droplets
