Well, I think we all know that his flow rates are nowhere near theoretical - I'm running an accumulator with four solenoids and my flowrates are nowhere near theoretical because of the length of tubing in my run. That being said, the typical drain to waste ratio is about 4 to 1, so if he's...

Where is that request thread? I'll "sign the petition".

Lol..........that's "grow room", partner. I keep my RH in the 65-70% range during lights on (until late flowering) and drop it to 55% at lights out. You were talking about your reservoir...........and that temp is incorrect for people like me enriching with CO2 - my plants grow 2X as fast at...

Atomizer, how come you don't recommend doing a D2W with HP aero? That's one of the main advantages I was looking for when I converted (for future systems, it'll be difficult to impossible with my current system). And OP, how'd it ever work out for you?

Not a big deal, really - I didn't wanna have to make another vertical PVC "experiment" anyways (already gonna have a couple grand of spare PVC laying around soon enough)..........will run this one for a couple of runs ( or until I get it dialed in, tire of it, or decide that fewer plants would...

Mike, thanks - plugged in my zip code and came up with nada within 50 miles.........methinks I'm gonna have to build something outta PVC board, or maybe I'll just tear down my octagon and grow trees.........lotsa time to decide. Pet - what link are you talking about? The "Forget the fogger"...

Build is pretty much done (after another mod today), but there are plants in it now (have been for almost a week)..........if you'll notice on my videos, you don't ever see a plant, and there's a good reason for that :) ..........so unfortunately, a video of how it works will have to wait until...

Like the creativity in applying all you've learned to your different setups. I'm subbed.

Everything's relative; the pump mine replaced was a 1/6HP pump pulling five amps and running 25% of the time.............so in comparison, a 1.2 amp pump running 1% of the time is a little better :) I have the Shurflo 8030-863-239, and it's certainly not quiet..........that being said, my room...

Really the tanks are my only contribution (and they can be had on eBay for cheaper - my 4.4 gallon was $50, delivered) - the rest are links people have provided to me or that I found from the "Forget the Fogger, I'm going HP aero" thread over at Gardenscure. Really a great and informative read...

PVC CAN NOT HANDLE THAT PRESSURE!!! Yowsers, please don't do that...........sorry for the caps, but you'd be building a bomb. Here's a post I wrote at another website ten minutes ago - the first link is the manufacturer I got my tank from - they're made out of steel with a special bladder to...

I got a 1 micron filter (two of them, actually) for $5 a piece from McMaster Carr (I'll see if I can find the link). FYI, those pressure switches on pumps are notoriously unreliable and drift a lot - that's a large reason why I got an external switch, even though my pump technically has its...

I was looking for it last night, actually, and still couldn't find it...........he had four plants scrogged around (I think) two 1Ks reaching from the floor to the ceiling. So I'm either gonna do four plants and SCROG around my vertical cooltube or do four plants on turntables rotating on...

Deewe, what temps did you notice as being "too high", and was that while vegging or flowering? If vegging (especially 24/7), I can see how temps too high in the rootzone would be problematic. Also Deewe, are you running an accumulator setup? If so, it's doubtful that your tank can handle...

Lol, that's one of my final two options for my next setup to get my plant numbers down..........someone at IC did that really well (VSCROG around vertical bulbs from floor to ceiling) but I can't find the thread when I want to.

Damn, that sucks........this thread got me all hot and bothered at the start and then kinda flamed out. OP, if you're interested in designing a true vert SOG utilizing HP aero, give me a holler..........I have a system that's close, but it's 4" PVC which would need to be upgraded to at least...

Finally put plants in a couple of days ago; made lotsa changes in the interim - will post some plant pics in a week or two. Built out a 3" base so that the diameter is now 5' as opposed to 7'. Also converted from an LP aero/NFT setup to a full on HP aero setup (100-125PSI) with a 4.4 gallon...

There should definitely be a vertical growing forum on RIU............time to catch up with the rest of the world.

Phunk, if you're still around hit me up........here or any of the other sites.

In an lp aero or DWC system, reservoir temps are VERY important because roots spend so much of their time submerged/covered in water, so dissolved oxygen (inversely related to water temp, although not totally linear relationship) in the water becomes much, much more important. As roots in HP...
