  1. Hey there,

    I am going to be building an aero box fairly soon with probably only about ten spaces for 3 or 4 inch baskets. a few questions i have are....

    1. most of these units i see online, the misters are made with 1/2 inch pvc pipe..I have ready access to 1 inch pvc pipe as well as all the connectors and am wondering if this will work as effective and efficient as the 1/2 inch pipe/?? Will I need a more powerful pump ??

    2. Should I keep the pump and res in the same tote? Or is it more efficient to have the res in a seprate tote....Just wondering about water temp,,,but if the pump is in the res in a different tote it would still heat the water

    3. when i am starting these babies....i will be starting from seeds,,(may seem like A weird question ) do I need to water the top of the plants as well???

    Grow info
    400 watt hps
    gh flora nutes
    hydrozyme
    likely will be a scrog
    not sure of strain....will likely be a 100% indica due to small space issues

    ANY SUGGESTIONS ?
    100% indica strains that are good forgivable indoor seeds
