  1. Currently running GHE Aeroflo 28 with the 24/7 pump on.
     
    Do you have any experience with timing the pump?
     
    I have read, that cause of aero roots are getting enought of oxygen, so it's not neccesery as with hydro systems, is it true?
     
    Wanna give my ladies the best care.

    Thx.

     
  2. Hey cl, are you running with the tubes all the way down? I use another forum mostly but grow aero and the master of
    aeroflo says to run with tubes all the way down and on 24/7. I have a modified setup using misters and also run constant on
    with no problems. Splash o ponics works great.

  3. PS your pump will last longer running constant by what I have been told

    Hey, yeap tubes 'r all the way down. I have seen it somewhere too. It's better for roots as per they have more oxygen with tubes lower. 
    Seriously thinking about which second system should I buy nxt time. I have a low ceiling. Need something more flat.
     
    I'm at 1000 PPM and 5.6 pH 
     
    Using only General Hydroponics nutrients & additives.

  5. You could always suspend a screen above your setup and run scrog. If so I would probably only
    put plants in every other planting site, should work very well. good luck with ur grow.
     
  6. Running the pump 24/7 is better!
     
  7. yep, that's what I'm planning the next grow, more space for plants & scrog it.
    really looking forward to this technique.
