I'm not in any way a professional grower, nor do I claim to be. I've made a simple DIY "Aero-Veg" Tub that I will use for my clone / veg room. This tub will hold 20 plants through their veg phase. These instructions are pretty simple and can be found in many other places on the net.
Materials - 20' 1/2" PVC Pipe - Can be obtained at The Home Depot for about $4.00. They can cut it into 5' pieces so it will fit into your car.
- 20 EZ-Clone Sprayers
- EcoPlus 633 GPH Submersible Pump
- 31 Gallon Rubbermaid Roughneck Tub
- (4) 1/2" PVC Elbows
- (3) 1/2" PVC Tee's
- (1) 1/2" Threaded PVC Connector
- 20 3" Net Pots
- 20 3" Neoprene Collars
Tools- Power Drill
- 11/64 Drill Bit
- Hacksaw
- 3" Hole Saw
- Sandpaper
Instructions Step 1:
Cut 4 6" pieces of PVC Pipe.
Step 2:
Cut 2 21" pieces of PVC Pipe.
Step 3:
Cut 2 10" pieces of PVC Pipe.
Step 4:
Cut (1) 2 1/4" piece of PVC Pipe.
Step 5:
Connect the 4 PVC Elbows to the 21" PVC cuts.
Step 6:
Connect the 4 6" pieces to the elbows.
Step 7:
Connect a PVC Tee to the 10" pieces.
Step 8:
Connect the other 2 PVC Tee's to create a manifold like so. Drill 20 holes around the top of the manifold with the above mentioned drill bit. Screw the EZ-Clone Sprayers tightly into place.
Step 9:
Connect the 2 1/4" piece to the PVC Connector.
Step 10:
Screw the threaded end into the EcoPlus 633 GPH Submersible Pump.
Step 11:
Connect the manifold to the pump.
Step 12:
Fill the 31 Rubbermaid Roughneck Tub until the pump is fully submersed and turn her on!
As you can see the manifold we created covers 100% of the area with a fine spray.

Lid Instructions
With the manifold done, all you have to do now is drill the desired amount of 3" holes into the lid with your 3" hole saw, smooth out the edges with sandpaper and place the net pots into the holes.
Add neoprene collars and cuttings and off you go!
