Nice PetFlora! I love how you think! I'm just starting your blog and I find so many similarities to what I have done. You used coco to support seedlings, I use bent pipe cleaners. You incorporated LPA to forego air stones, I added timed sprayer units to each rez, sweet! I have just started...

I am reflecting upon my knowledge base, and all of the postings that I have perused. trying to make sense of why it is beneficial to develop micro-hair roots. Considering natural conditions, that being periods of flood and periods of drought, I think that plants have evolved to accommodate...

Results after crunching data: - Accumulator Tank Data analysis: 100-80 psi @ 2s intervals = 17.5 hrs. 2 gal. fluid consumed 80-60 psi @ 2s = 75 hrs. 4 gal. consumed Max Total = 4 days/6.5 gal without re-pressurizing. Extrapolation for system total volume @ 40 psi final pressure and 14.5 gal...

The prototype system has been constructed. A Rubbermaid tote was fitted with six spray nozzles. Four are positioned on the sides, high in the tote. These are 1GPH nozzles. Two nozzles are on the lid, they are 3GPH. The installation of the nozzles was easy, and the housing body was...

Hey guys, So, I’m about six days into the seedling stage with the OG’s that were started. The solar room is pretty chilly ~ 60-70F, depending on the time of day. The house is also about 70F, so I’m a bit below optimal. I decided to add a 300W full spec LED to the tent. I didn’t want to...

So, I just banged out a search for the 24VDC timers, and I found a few out there. I think I'll snag a 24V battery (preferably Li-ion) with a 110 vac constant trickle charge. I'll wire a normally closed 110 vac relay to the main system and piggy-back the DC system onto it. If the power drops...

Snow day today, my AP Chem students are happy. A bunch of stuff was delivered and I’m pretty excited. I have the pumps, pressure sensors, TDS meter, solenoids, timers, pre-filter, nozzles, tubing, AC/DC converters, check valves, and fittings. I’m waiting on a few fittings to connect the well...

Hi Leather lungs, I just got interested in high pressure aeroponics and don't have pics of a working system atm. So I'm creating the new system at this point. I did post a pic of the three OG Kush seedlings that just popped in this thread...

Yodaweed! Hey there, I have read many of your posts while searching the forums. Thank you for the observations, I reread my post, and I was obscure in some of my statements. You are correct, I'm not growing with microbes for the most part, although the fungi can interact in a synergistic, or...

Hey ANC, sorry this reply is so late. I was on holiday when you posted and well, life, work, women... So, I skimmed over your nutrient profile and it looks good, especially for the cost. I did not see a few nutrients, that I might add. If you are using R.O./distilled water to constitute the...

The OG kush seeds were procured last year, so I put three seeds in rapid rooters with the hope that one or two would germinate. They are supposed to be 28% THC, genetically female, 75% indica/25% sativa, with a 500g/m2 yield indoors. I have had great results with these in the past. Because...

I'm defiantly going to have to dial in the timing and spray. With a bunch of experimentation I'll try to find the best compromise between the two systems. e.g., maybe LPS for 3 min/4hrs and HPS 1s/4min. I'm not sure, I have ideas from posts, articles, videos, but nothing concrete. It's going...

This just arrived today. I was supposed to get the 20 gal but it was out of stock, so I got this 26 gal jammy, It still has 125 psi working pressure, but it will probably only need to be filled once every day and not drop below 80 psi. Oh, the little guys are OG Kush that I just started, these...

This is great! I can't wait to see how the vertical lights perform throughout the grow. I have searched for a vertical light to get more light through the canopy, but to no avail. You have intrigued me, I'm going to have to build some of these. Do you think using 3W or 5W diodes would be...

:grin: PetFlora, I read that the two systems were incompatible when I was reviewing the literature, but I didn’t find any good studies or data. I need some empirical evidence, and you just know I’m gonna try it, I’m dumb like that. I have experiment with the timing, but I have a rough...

The proposed system is probably going to draw criticism and chastisement from many, especially from purists. Here goes… I’m going to hybridize high pressure (HPS) and low pressure systems (LPS). (Reminding anyone of advanced Kama Sutra; sounds like a lot of fun, but you could get totally...

Thanks again PetFlora. My thoughts about addressing this are included in my next post, but I know, I know... if I only had a higher ceiling. I did contemplate breaking up the cellar floor and putting in a four foot pit. Needless to say, it did not go over very well (no pun intended). Maybe...

Vertical height constrictions have limited past grows, so in this system redesign I’m going to try to make use of horizontal space. The buckets and totes have worked, but seem to waste a lot of room between units and the roots become bound in a clump. I had an epiphany while I was exploring a...

Thanks PetFlora! I did find one of those screen inline filters, it has a steel mesh chamber, I not sure of the pore size. I'm not sure if the TEFEN nozzles that I purchased also have pre-filters, I did get the no-drip type which has a kind of built in check valve. I have used beneficial...

After researching various systems, I came up with a plan to create a 3/8” system that uses small orifice TEFEN nozzles and has a large pressure reserve. I have omitted the connectors, fittings, and tubing from the following purchase list, but the essentials are here: Aquatec Pressure Switch...
