Found a similar one on Youtube a little while back and thought I’d give it a try w my own personal specifications.
I saw aeroponics used in the SeeMoreBuds DVD and they went nuts with it [300 plants in a 4’x6′ room INSANE]
My version is a scaled down, LEGAL, alternative that costs under 0 dollars to make, and once its done you can use it for the rest of your life.
Also you can manipulate the net pot layout by changing the size and quantity of how many you want (All you gotta do is buy a new container lid!!! WOOO!)
The biggest challenge I had with this was space. I first wanted to put the plant containers ontop of the res. but then I realized it would be way to close to the lights, especially when they got bigger and the 7′ room would not accommodate that.
For my grow I will be using a 120w Triband LED from HTGSupply.com
After doing research I realized this is not enough light so I will hopefully be investing in their 240w 7-band LED to add to the 120w.
I did this ENTIRE project with a drill + 3/8in. bit, a sharpie, tape measure and kitchen knives haha
So its definitely a DIY project
*If anyone is interested in making one I could make another vid

I built this system to try out aeroponics and could test if I get my tomato, peppers and roses to root faster then in soil/coco. The entire system was easy to build and surprisingly cheap. I’m happy with how everything turned out and will be filling it with cuttings tomorrow ( Will post video soon!)

Link to the video you saw it from?
go to hell
I can speak from expirence. Those rubbermaid tubs leak like a son of a gun. I have build several aeroponic boxes and not a single plastic snap on lid tote has been sealed properly. Eventually they all just drip drip drip out of the box every where.
You have a leak good sir
Seems halfway done. who wants to leak out their nutrients like that??
+championSOUNDmaui Great video! I'm leaning towards this type of feeding once I can start. Nice work and motivation! ✌& #420!
You should try fogponics bro.
once this is good to go, do you keep the misters on all day or cycle them? if you cycle them how often?
who sings this song????
Good example. Thanks for sharing.
Yea I just decided to put this idea on hold. I just had some time on my hands last summer and threw this together. Right now im having a blast growing in coco. Almost harvest time!!! its on my other account rastapasta64
You can do this on a single container. You can put this indoor, you just have to take care of the leaks
all is good, but you can't put this thing indoor , it will leak a lot man, i had the same problem was so annoyed i tried silicon many times , but never worked, the solution was , i raised the pipes to almost top and let them spry at 90 degree angle horizontally, cheers good work
your gonna have mad leaks from around the top from were the lid meets the tub.
Do you have problems with it leaking? If so how did you fix it? or did your pump just give off a soft mist instead of a harder stream? What size pump are you using?
If you want to make it too just use InpliX handbooks.
can you build one for me and i give you 100$? 🙂 you can make business with this
That’s funny I build the exact same thing and never saw this video until today.
I think that is nice movie. However you can make it yourself. Just google INPLIX and learn how to do it easily.
What are you doing when it over heats?
this design is amazing EXCEPT it leaks
Go to Inplix if you'd like to build it yourself.
how will it work better bro come on man
full of s#$%#@#$
hate when posters list something as diy but the video is really just showing something off. explain your process please.
was it 12 inch pvc that was used?
please help me find the correct timer online. I cant find the 1 min interval timer anywhere
this is pretty fuckin awesome man!
I just bought the equipment and parts to make this setup and it works like a champ. I do notice that the PVC manifold wants to tip to one side (once placed on the pump). Has this happened to you and do you have any suggestions?
How successfull has/had this project been now that you're a year out.?
I've built a few but not with this container. My biggest problem has been the lid leaking, pain in the ass. How is this one? If you used a rubber seal from what and where did you get the material? Nice looking job. bhw the best light for cloning is a T5, and for rooting clones no need to have it close 24; to 36' works fine. However once roots are well established and you transplant from the clone machine the T5 should be about 10' above the top of the plant. I have been doing it for years and works awesome.
BEST TOTE EVER !!!!!!!!!!!
love your design. I'm definitely doing this one.
Congrats on this awesome build! I'm building something similar, what size water pump are u using and what's your water pressure look like?
I'd love to find an alternative to the neoprene inserts. We got a turboklone 144 and I don't have the desire to buy the inserts for a buck a piece…nor .50 cents a piece. We got a great deal on the cloner, but have plans to make more vertical systems for our operation. Have you ever found any alternatives? I was thinking of taking a hole saw to a yoga mat or thermarest
