PW's First Attempt At Aeroponics & PS1000 LED

[Blue281]

Here's my design, uses 5 4mm tees and then the micro soaker hose

Where did you get the micro soaker hose?

 

[Blue281]

I got it from eBay £11.99 for 10 meters. That's the smallest amount I could find

Looks like it would be really easy to make....I use that stuff outside in my veggie garden. The hose and the 5 T connectors looks like all thats required. I like the idea....especially for later in the grow for me doing a Scrog.

Ill see what what amazon has at the moment.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Let me know PW! Im very interested!

 

[Pennywise]

Ill get that tmro and ill try it and post how it works tmro evening.

Nice. I have (2) of these 4" soaker hose setups off of Ebay, with washers. They seem to need stronger air pumps than an air stone. As my 4 tube air pump struggled to push out a good amount of air through (2) 4" air stones and the (2) 4" soaker lines. Maybe I'll try using just the 2 soaker setups and 2 dewies.

Hope it works out, buddy.

That air injection tech does look good!

Did I miss something?? We replacing air stones now??

 

[Pennywise]

Thanks Vex, we'll see tmro evening how it works but i think the eco2 pump will run 4-6" setups.

Experimenting with micro soaker hose.

Experimenting with micro soaker hose.

Excuse my newbness, but what's the purpose? And where does it go?

 

[Pennywise]

It provides oxygen to roots, ill be putting one at the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket for my Aero/Dwc setup.

 

[Lonestar11]

Is a drip line and soaker hose the same thing?

 

[Lonestar11]

Looks like I need to sit back and keep taking notes! So y'all are going to hook up an air pump to the hose, correct? Or a water pump?

 

[Blue281]

Is a drip line and soaker hose the same thing?

Not quite the same thing. Drip line is a tube with small holes in spaced evenly down it. Micro soaker hose is a tube made out of porous material so can drip water or leak air out of the whole tube.

 

[Pennywise]

Yes, ill use it to produce really fine bubbles i hope.

 

[Planter420]

Should be awesome and will most definitely keep that water oxygenated

 

[Pennywise]

Just hope it works the way im picturing it in my head.

Wow! The cost of a 50' roll is the same as a small premade one! Thats insane. Hope it works pw! Definitely interested
