Vertigo__ Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 hey guys i recentley picked up an AeroFlo 20 system (the one without the sprayers) and it has a additional 10 site add-on tube. I've been growing in dirt for years now but the lure of crazy big yeilds has brought me here.was wondering if anyone has any ideas or plans for a 10 or 12 plant sytem (perpetual or one shot) ?How to plug unused sites? I aslo hear alot about running pumps for 24 hours or different timing...PLEASE HELP THIS NOOB ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff from bad axe Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 My advice go back to dirt.I ran aeroflows until my pump went out 1 mo in and lost whole crop. My fault went away for weekend.Dirt is way more forgiving.I had to cover every other hole because they where to close.I just put hydroton in basket but no plant.Best of Luck with your new aerflows.

NORML Jay Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Adjustable Cycle Timers and dual pumps? What are the chances of two going out at once? Just an initial thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solabeirtan Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Not currently set up or growing, but I ran a AF60 through three or four cycles. I t always got overgrown. tried to do see of green with some success. Definitley consider plugging every other hole plus staggered between tubes. Even still I never had enough room. you could even start some in all the holes then before they start raging you can take the odd plants out and transfer to dirt hydro or ... My pump ran 24/7. Don't let it run dry. You can tell by the noise once it starts going it sounds like a loud dishwasher, low on water it gets much more quiet. ph about 5.6 - 6.0; ppm 100 to 1500+ ps: I used different things to plug the holes from 2" cellophane tape, works or even some panda paper cut into little squares [6x6] just lay them on top doesn't leak too bad.
