anyone have any info on building an aquaponics system? Was reading a few things about these, but can't really find anything on building it. Thanks

Yea man! -Im enjoyin the fruits of aero labor! -If your hand with pvc youl do ok but even if your not its easy. -Theres many diferent ways to do it too. -The best way to spell it ot is to just say the basic principals. -Keepimg humidity in the root chamber. -Get a bubbermade container and some 1/2 inch pvc and a 1/2 or slightly smaller drill bit. -Youl see that if you drill a hole and force the pvc threw its pretty tight and if you put some couplings there and glue it real good it'l be pretty waterproof. I have 3 chambes with 2 holes centered in the bottoms ofem each. -I mean that I got 2 pvc risers commin up from the floor of my rubbermades. -These risers have foggers on the ends ofem. -To do like me you gotta get netafim micronet fogger assemblys. -Theyr a 4 way fogger that is actually 4 seperate foggere conected by a manifold and I aim one each to a net pot. -The net pots are suspended threw holes in the lid. -Put a drain in the low corner you made and dril for half inch plastic drain line and just glue it in real real good with a couple clean layers of pvc glue and run it to your res. -Youl need a real good pump(ecoplus 230)to suck nutes out of the res and pump it threw the pvc that goes into your root chambers. -I threaded pvc adapters to the discharge on my pump that hook up to garden hose that clamps on to a home made chiller and back to garden hose and to a homemade 4 valve copper manifold that I run garden hose off of again and then threw filters each and garden hose again to clamp onto the pvc that goes into the root chamber. --I drew my bikes electrics on a paper plate when I was high once and I couldnt read then for 3 hours the next day so this mite not look to good but if it makes a little sence let me know and Ill tell you whatever I can. -It really really works GOOD. -REAL fukin good! -I flower a 45 day strain and I need to start tieing the plants down when they get into flower. -They get in the flower room at 6 inches and strech to 27 inches in 45 days. -I tie them down imediatley in the flower room and by laying them horiz Im able to force most nodes to shoot up into fairly full 16 inch colas! -Thats about what the actual terminal tops finish at too. -They sometimes amount to solid 16 inch buds. -This tyin down thing is a new part of my learning experiance, -Im on my 4th set of flowers so Ill probably be able to tell you more about it later. -My last yield wasnt tied down but came in at 19 oz wet and 4 and 3/4 oz dry. -From 7 clones that started flower at 6 inches tall each. -Im kinda new at this, -is that ok? -I think aero's the shit! -If you want to put together an aero system I'l help ya out as much as I can! ~~^^><>'-TF

I thought aquaponics had something to do with fish shit.

Ha Ha! -I dont know nothin about fish shit! -Real interesting tho! -Has this tekneek ever been used with weed? -I really like fish too. -I just always killedem! -I just never had much luck withem. -TF

--Hey Bazaedo! Cool aero link! -How about that! -I growin like the astronots! ,',','~~^^><>' -Hey Poopypants! -Check it out! -I just harvested my 4th set of flowers out of this room this morning. -I only had 3 goin this time. -I got 759 wet grams offem! All trimed up and all, -just buds on sticks. 244 g, 208 g and 307 g! Hows that!? -3 clones in the flower room @ 7 - 8 inches comming out at an average lineier length of 24 inch, -the longest was 27 inches, -for a combined weight of 759 grams in 52 days of flower! -I just started this tyeinem down shit! -MMan! -Its REALLY the shit! ---Sweet!!!! -Why dont ya check out an aero grow!?
