My 1st FC ..with a Twist
    #7207469 - 07/21/07 06:07 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Well, thank you all for helping me on my 1st cultivation. My jars reached fully colonized and a week later were birth and given the soak and roll. I've built the FC that uses the external air pump and airstone with 1/2" water under the perlite. Since I'm such a nut for trying new things, I thought I'd use a 50/50 mix of clay granules and perlite in the FC instead of straight Perlite. I'll update the results later.

Well, to be honest I was running low on Perlite, and I've seen a couple teks that show using expanded clay pellets on the bottom of the FC. Shouldn't hurt anything, but I was afraid of just using 100% expanded clay pellets. Maybe in the future I'll try it out.

The "HEPA" filter is incorrect. It would only be HEPA if I used a HEPA filter cartridge, which I was too cheap to do. It somewhat filters the incoming air for the air pump.
