Hello all.
I just joined the forum, and wanted to say hey.
I've recently started an aero system growing super skunk.
The system is in a 2x4x6 tent.
I have just recently added ac to the tent piped 8n through the intake duct, and controlled with a bn link temperature control. The tent stays between 76 and 79 deg f. (I'm in the U.S so no metrics here).
The exhaust is triggered with the ac and keeps the rh between 58 and 68.
My sprayer timer is a bn link as well set at 1 min on 5 min off.
I'm using GH flora trio , and cal/mag.
Root zone temp between 67 73 deg f.
Air lines also coiled in ac duct to help promote cooling in root zone, it helps, but it's not enough on its own.
Keeping root zone temp in check is kinda a PITA as I'm using freezable cooler packs, and having to change them out, but I am working on a circulation pump to eliminate the ice packs. Lights,......ehhhh. not great. Will need to upgrade when she gets bigger, but seems to be doing fine (for now).
The chamber itself is a 5 gal bucket that I will probably have to replace with something with more area for roots as she grows.
As far as misting goes, well this a setup I've not seen or heard of, and don't want to say too much about until I see how it does through the entire grow. I will say that it functions like an hps system without the high pressure. If I had to guess (which I do) I'd say the droplets are 10-15 microns? Maybe. Not as fine as say an ultrasonic fogger, but much fiber than other sprayers I've seen.
She's doing really well now I think. But, I damn near lost her. I went on vacation for 13 days and came back to a total $#1t show. Two bottom leaves laying on res lid dead. Next set wilted yellow and on deaths doorstep.
This was prior to and the reason for the ac. Anyways entire plant wilted and hardly any new growth in 13 days.
I didn't give up on her though. Fresh batch of nutes with a little extra micro for the nitrogen, along with the ac, a light height adjustment, and misting timer adjustment, and she started looking much better day by day.
The pics will show the bottom yellow leaves, but believe me. They Are SO MUCH better than 1 week ago, and she's growing well, like a weed .ok.
I'll also post a video of the mist in action.
All comments or suggestions are welcome, encouraged.
Thanks for viewing.
Good luck to everyone and as always.
Keep on growing.
