Indoor Autoponics (Autos in Hydro)

[The Medicine Man]

Hey all!

I wanted to start up a thread for those who are running autos in hydro setups, be it aero/NFT, DWC, ebb & flow, wick systems, hempy, whatever! I'd love to see pictures, success stories, mistakes you made, what kind of systems you run, YIELDS, etc. I want this to be a resource for others who have questions about hydro with autos to come and learn and show off. I know not many people grow autos in hydro, so let's have a home base for autoponics.

My setup is the stinkbud aero/NFT setup made from parts at Lowes. Cost was 300 bucks including pumps for 2 sets of rails.

Show me what you got! And, if you're new to hydro, ask away!

2" pots. As for lighting, right now it's about 15 hours on as I'm in flower with my remaining photos and have been creeping up from 12 the past couple weeks. I'll probably stick to around 19-20 hours of light when these photos are done. Gotta make a light mover to be able to have a couple less lights for when we start bringing on even more patients.

Bubble bowls. These bowls here are only about 3 liters. pretty simple system with good results.

The net pots are about 7 inches away from each other, the rails are 7 feet long. I have 7 pots in each rail. I'm using a 600w sitting in the middle of the two rail sets I have. So far I can get a plant in each rail. Some plants that are branching out wicked... the branches end up going straight up and budding up. No worries on the Q's, thats why I started the thread

Nice! What strains are those? What did you end up yielding off of them? They look great.

I was just trying to get a better idea of the size of the bowls, you can only fit in a 2x4 space means they're pretty big.. but they're lower and wider?

I can fit six fullsize autos in with no crowding. probaly have a dozen or more perpetual. I had to take a break for a little while, will be starting a home thread soon. started a couple AK x's about 5 days ago going to start a few more next sunday. The bowls are wide. When I started growing I only had 16" of head room. I have been looking for something Taller and narrower. Just haven't found it yet. Thinking about using 8" PVC with 2 end caps. I grow with alot of diff. styles. DWC, soil, soiless, and wicking. I will have a auto train thread starting soon.

Those are Lowlife Hindu Kush. Yield, I have no idea about weight. Filled up 1 3/4 jars with the 2. Minus a few test buds
