please some advice on AIR POTS

[cs70]

hi all
so to make story short
i move to another country and HAVE to take all my equipment with me
i will start my stealth grow in old washing mashine ,so space is limited,so here is my setup
cooltube and 3 airpots ,each 3 liters (0.8gallons),for veg and flower
and i use tropf blumats as watering system
does any one have expirience with 3liter air-pots?
i read that with sufficient water and nutes i can keep even big plants in smaller containers ,my girls would be 50-60 cm(22 inches) height by the harvest time
is the 3 liter air-pots are enough ? if someone have this experience please let me know
best regards

I'll have to see what size I am using at home...but I took a just rooted cutting and slapped it in a small air pot. And now its a big baseball bat. I have to water it every other day because it drys out so quickly, but is doing well. It's at at least 2ft high. I'll post the size when I find out. But I'm thinking its closer to a half gallon size.

HELLO
thank u very much for taking time and check it for me,i feel already more confident about AIR POTS ,i were reading many discussions about the AIRPOTS,and i think the girls will love them , the 0.8 gallons pots are quiet small and i can buy more of them in future
i also plan to use tropf blumats ,and put a 1.3 gallons container with nutes inside the box .everyone is so crazy about them

i would like to ask u a question about exhaust fan system,i would appreciate the advise from a experience grower

could this inline extractor fan 150mm 320m3/hr

pull air out of the washing machine true home made cooltube (i was inspired when i read how the guy maked cooltube from a Pyrex bake a round tube) and ODORSOK soft filter on the end ? i have RVK fan that i used for my first grow but its a little big but it is awesome fan ,i could squeeze it inside the box sure,it would cool my cooltube and 250watt hid osram plantastar perfectly ,but it would take some space aswell , also i cant take much luggage in airport so i have to think about the weight also
if u have any advise please share
sorry for my english
best regards

looking at my purchases this must be a .8 gal or 3 liter pot. This WhiteWidow is 24 inches and was put in as a clone to sex it. All she did was stretch to catch up to all the big plants around her. So just 1 cola and 2 tiny branches.

Old washing Machine??


Wow I hope you told your washing machine what your planning CUZ IT COULD GET PRETTY LOCO!!.............

LOL but on topic, I'm using airpots and I love 'em. They need a bit extra water but the results I'm seeing are good

I think you can use an extremely small pot and get a great yield if you use the right medium, veg period and irrigation. I am using #5 smart pots, which hold about 16 liters, with Coco, and I am getting more than 8 oz a plant. I used to use # 3 which held about 10 liters, and was able to get comparable results, with the proper irrigation. I feed about 20 seconds, every 2 hours......... given your small space, you should fill it no problem!

i will use top loader ,they r more taller ,i have to do some modifications with it

i get my 3 liter AIR POTS and i love them ,in future i can buy more of them
my main concern was the witch fan to use inside ,so i decide to go with this one

http://www.systemair.com/web/Produc...h_230V-315615.aspx?tab=productnavitem-tabnav1

i have my fan wich i used for my first grow from the same company but big one ,but this one is a bit smaller and i can put my odorsok filter (which is only 30 cm long and 12 cm diameter ) inside the box without to loose to much space but have good cooling for my 250 watt plantastar bake a round cooltube lol
i will use climate control i have it from first grow ,i liked it and i use it

hi guys i am back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just put my girl to sleep and i tell u how it goes new setup
best regards

 

[cs70]

her iam again

her iam again

hi guys here is my new setup
i didnt start my new grow in washing machine because its too small ,so i build my own closet
with cooltube ,i put some pictures u can see ,the space is enough for only 3 or 4 girls ,i do 3 at the moment ,3 little big bud femenized girls ,they grow much more quick in my new air pots under 250 HPS ,than in regular pots under 600 watt HPS ,i compared to my previous grow ,i win like 10 days around ,i can see the difference straight away ,so if anyone want to start grow with airpots ,just do it u will be suprised how nice they work
tommorow i will setup my tropf blumat watering system ,that way no more hand watering ,after my hard working day ,and i also have space for clones so i hope it will be more quicker ,than from seeds
so enjoy the photos
5 days ago when i transplanted the girls in big pots ,and soaked them full with water ,the girls was like 3 hours outside and when i put them back in the box i see little grasshopper style beast sitting on one of my girls ,so i catch it and examine it and google it i find out it was a white fly ,i hope i catch this bitch before she lay eggs so now i wait few more days if nothing happens inside than i was lucky ,i hope i am ,finger crossed
anyone know if i can spray my girls already with biobizz leaf coat ?does it help?to protect them ?
thx for help and ideas
and i will post any progress
best regards
