    High Pressure Aeroponics

    Whatttt???? Finals are done??? Okay, okay .... I know how to handle this apocalypse. This is what you need to do right away; chain yourself behind a 6" reinforced steel door. Bring Valium, munchies, and beer, and don't emerge for three weeks. Even if you hear the siren call of sophomore...

    High Pressure Aeroponics

    There are several reasons why vinyl gloves were invented. One of these reasons, I have vividly recalled, is silver nitrate. Do you know that being even slightly impaired, maybe due to ingestion of intoxicating substances - maybe because it's been 48 hours since you've slept (I don't know, I'm...

    High Pressure Aeroponics

    Hey Dstroy! How is it going? It's good to hear from you! I'll try to run right down the list to answer as many of the questions as I can. * Extraction/decarboxylation was performed using vegetable glycerine/olive oil/coconut oil and ethanol at 200 F for an hour. Separation of the keef from...

    That really looks nice, I love the precision work. When are you opening your store? I'd purchase them :), ...but we both know that the returns would not make up for the investment. I still enjoy the fantasy. How did they perform, did they all spring up? On my end, our 97 year old...

    That looks sweet Atomizer! Thanks for the link too. How deep is the cloner, I can't quite tell from the pictures? It looks like it's about a foot deep, if the top was placed on. Great idea. Do you find that every new device constructed is slightly modified from previous creations? I don't...

    I didn't know that you had solid walls behind your permatron Atomizer, I was under the impression that the fabric was the wall. In my system the trampoline fabric comprises the wall. Although there is some water leakage, the grow tent walls contain it, and it accumulates in the tent catch...

    Greetings corvek! Nice to meet you, and let us know how the HPA system progresses! I obtained some of the trampoline fabric, and I can tell you that it is really awesome, but it's hard to work with. It melts reasonably, but needs to be pressed together to stick to itself, otherwise it's...

    High Pressure Aeroponics

    Hi guys, Here is an update. There were a few problems with the system, and one plant is looking battle worn. It’s been a busy week with other projects, crazy weather, and parties, but I think progress is being made. The main issue with the dripper system is siphoning. The water level in the...

    High Pressure Aeroponics

    Hi guys! Sorry about the down time… I had grades closing, standardized testing to proctor, AP Chemistry mock exams, SAT proctoring, and a one hell of a messed up week - Times two. In addition, I had to tweak the system, but that is for another post – let me address your posts: Dstroy! Hey...

    And that is why I call you Dr. Atomizer. Thank you. That was just awesome. My experiment started as pure HPA and progressed to what it is now. The title now seems deceptive, but it was an evolution, not intended as a deception, nor constructed with any malicious in intent. Regardless, if the...

    High Pressure Aeroponics

    Here is a look at the control center. From the top left, the 73.8 pound reading displays the water mass in the accumulator tank. It's really easy to see the mass of every water dispensation because it's so sensitive ( I know weight is not mass ). Adjacent to it is the Blue Labs pH controller...

    Hey PetFlora, I think Atomizer was responding to my post about the nutrient dispensations and timings that I have with this new system. I don't think that you mentioned your nutrient concentration. 300 to 500 ppm will work if the plants transpire a lot or they are very young. They look good...

    Happy Easter Atomizer! Good to hear from you, I hope all is well that life is good for you. :) You know, I just knew that I was going to offend your sensibilities with my little experiment. I even told PetFlora not to tell you about the HPA/LPA hybrid that I am attempting because I admire...

    High Pressure Aeroponics

    Hi PetFlora! How is it going out there? I had one messed up clone that I revived, and three seedlings. Those are the four plants I have right now, but I'm going to make more clones....eventually? Maybe? (They better root soon ... @Uc%er's!) :) That's a sweet idea, using a manifold with...

    Happy Easter Kytaez! Thank you! That is a great compliment, and it's much appreciated. I would have trained them, but they filled the tent - I had no room for training, I will do some low-stress training on them now that they are in the big tent. :) The PRV (pressure regulator valve, if I'm...

    High Pressure Aeroponics

    Here is a progress update. The four plants have to be moved; they are bigger than the tents. The clones, on the other hand, are not rooting. I don't know what the issue is this time, but I have tried three different methods and they won't root. They stay green for a few weeks, but just...

    High Pressure Aeroponics

    Well, I'm apprehensive about going live. This weekend I'll move the plants in. Pre-show jitters I guess. Have I forgotten anything, and, where is the weak link? I don't know if it's ready, ...I have to do the move - the plants are too big and it's getting warmer out. I should have installed...

    High Pressure Aeroponics

    Hey Kytaez! How is your progress going? Do you have a link to your grow or system, I'd love to take a peek ... or post some here, that would be cool! Also, it's good to hear from you, how are things going?! There are redundancies, but I think they're necessary to make the system go from...

    Worked all day on the top of the RZC. I was going to cover it with fiberglass 4x8 paneling, but I found what I was really looking for. The paneling goes for about $35 a sheet, but while poking around in Home Depot I saw the 4'x8'x1/2" PVC panels for $78. The integrity offered by the PVC made...

    High Pressure Aeroponics

    I can't use gravity to drain water from the RZC. I need to pump it, and it has to either go to the drain or to the rez. I was going to use a timer to activate the return pump, but if the volume or timing is off, the pump will run dry. I thought of a volume switch, but four inches of water in...
