Lead, where the water is distributed to the top plant is without a doubt aero - that water comes out in a very fine spray (from the sprinklers - remember, I switched out the plastic shrub waterers and put in proper sprinklers), and then starts "coagulating" (a horrible word choice, but I don't know how else to express what the water does) and running down - BTW, are you talking about Betterboy from ICMag's grow?
Long story short, the first (top) plant gets the benefit of the "aero" portion, and then I'm assuming that water will get diffused by the plant's roots when it runs down the column so it *shouldn't* hurt the lower plant's roots below too much - I'll see if I can't take a quick video from above one of the columns to show you exactly how it "works".
If the 2.25GPH sprinklers that are in there now are too much, I can always switch out to the .75GPH sprinklers - thinking of doing that anyways for a finer mist at the top of the column.
No worries, and thanks for the good vibes :)
Onto other business - just called up and the hydro store will have the Botanicare 2x4 tray LID (pre-drilled with 8 holes for 5" netpots) in stock tomorrow - after cleaning hydroton in the bathtub and once again slowing the drain to a crawl, I've decided that I'm 100% done with medium.
Mother plants (8, which keeps me at 98 plants for all but the last week of flower when I take new clones) will be in a medium-less E&F setup in 5" netpots with 5" neoprene inserts holding them up.
Also have 60 3" neoprene inserts and 30 3.75" neoprene inserts that I'm gonna use in my flowering system (in conjunction with the netpots).
So, cloning, veg, and flowering are now all officially sans media :) :)
Never cleaning those fucking pebbles again.............
how did the little 1/13th work out for ya?
Waiting for the winter classic game to start. Hockey outdoors pretty wild.
