Aeroponics Yield???

I'm no expert lol. I don't use any supplements other than beanies and have stopped that for now as I'm in an epic battle with root rot, just switched to hydroguard and now SM90. I do use Epsom for mag and foiler spray every day in veg.

So no on calimagic ? I think chiller is the answer to root rot. I have a 1/4 hp artica with titanium heat exchanger. Going to try pumping nutes straight thru the chiller. I used to have a bigger one chilling a res then used it to chill nutes. Pain in the ass if u ask me. But i also cooled 3 1000 watt lights and 75 gal of nutrient so could have been my problem.

Another idea for spray manifold i want to try is pex tubing over pvc. Might be easier.

I use pex. Plants don't mind the brass and copper, but I wouldn't use stainless. Use copper; stainless crimping rings rust pretty quick.

I use pex as well . And no, no Calmag just mag .

I do use pvc for manifold but yup pex would be easier cutting. All my pvc joints are pressure fit so it can be dismantled and they don't seem to leak

2.5 yes, under perfect conditions, and again I'm sure it wasn't his average, just his best ever.


If you have a carbon filter making a vacuum in the room, you can't seal the room. A true sealed room is air cooled lights. Sealed outside air piped in, cooling the lights, than the same air pumped out. Completely sealed wit minimal personal entering the room. A/C in the room to keep temp down. Even the reservoir should be outside the room. Sealed window to look in. Only this way is CO2 worth it, otherwise your wasting it, unless you have the money to pissed away. With this sealed room in place, there's no need for a carbon filter because the smell never leaves the room. The whole reason not to seal the room, and have air inlets is to exchange the air (CO2) in the room. There's plenty of CO2 in the air, normally, to have a very big harvest. It wouldn't be worth the effort for your small grow... imo. But I'll sell you some CO2 if you want.

I know its been a while but something has been on my mind about the sealed room thing. It has been a couple yrs since i have really been growing so im kinda out of date. I thought you have to exaust at least every day to get rid of the plant off gases. You cant just recycle the same air unless u have a carbon filter to scrub the air.. that is what i picked up somewhere along the line.. idk really where...

You don't have to vent daily. If you build a sealed room you'll need a CO2 meter. You fill to desired amount. People build this rooms with all kinda of designs. CO2 is heavier than O2 so you could put a resealable vent at the top, but if you check on the plants as much a I would, it's not needed.

I got ya. So the plant offgasas aren't really a big issue like I thought?

It depends on your grow room. If I were you, I'd focus your attention to what you have and not CO2. Most grow room have more than enough CO2 to support your grow, and most people use CO2 wrong anyways.

If you wanna test what you have, buy a CO2 meter first, and see what your room is running before investing in CO2 equipment.

I have a. Cap co2 controller fuzzy logic, that wont work as a meter will it?

As much as i want to it is going to have to be without co2 for more reasons than 1. It takes a lot of planning to get a room right, i have been thru a bunch of bullshit changing shit because something didnt get planned for wheather its heat humidity or whstever. I know this time it will be one time setting it up. I wont have a so called partner fucking shit up all the time. And like u said monitor everythi g and then determine if it will be worth co2. Thx for all the feedback and again i apologize for running my mouth. I just get fired up about growing and it has been a while for me. I oded on growing adrenaline. Lol.
