High!,,,
to start this thread i have to say that im shocked with the apparent failure to recognise a system for its worth rather than the intricicies of many working parts!
i have seen proberbly all the types of hydro kits ya can buy ,,,,,and what seems to be obvios is that some have some good advantages while carrying some disadvantages!.

the leap of vertical grow systems seems to double every nonth, with pye being the latest development!,, a vertical grow system has alot of disadvantages to a seroius grower!....
the only area that they advantageous is in the power output,,, less lamps per meter square!,,,,,the technology seems to be getting lost in one addaptation of one system or the other,
aeroflow tecniques require sog or much support for the plants, they also have to grow and flower in the same area! not very good if you want to optimise the grow rooms
people also tend to look at a system for "how advanced it is" the more pipes conecting buckets or tubes or trays, the more thins to go wrong!.
i have one large pump delivers nutes to large flood tanks in minutes
one pipe
pots full of arlita so as to allow them to be removed if sickly or to achieve more light etc... i use a rainforest cloner to start and then into the pot they will stay in untill cropped! although the plants move from cloning tanks, to growing tanks, to flowering tanks! this way the nutes in thesee tanks are always on grow or clone or flower and are always full!
the lagre tanks and and simple system allows for it to run very efficiently, and need the minimum of maintenance is a great thing.
the ph needs adjusting every two days, and everything else is automated too so its just sit back and watch 248 plants grow and flower!....
conclusion simplicity is a hydro growers best friend!
what are your opinions on this subject? do you run a vertical?cmon argue with me!
ha ha ha

cya all in chat
ps wheres the spell check here!!??
