At a first glance it looks like transpiration. When the humidity is to high, the transpiration can't evaporate. But I have only observed that when plants are to close and the transpiration from the underside of one leaf condense on the upperside of the leaf next to it. But when I take a closer...

What's the humidity level in the grow room?

I haven't tried to start off in a big cube only starter cubes, but I think that your plant will develop a better root system if it the cube almost dry out before next irrigation. Also smaller cube means less risk for drowning the plant.

I found larger buckets online, 44 litres. If I build this system I'll probably use something like that. GHE Hydroponics sells a system with larger than 11 litre, 16 litre I think. But after reading about other growers experience on buckets I think I would prefer a pipe system like Aeroflo or...

I sometimes have the same problem. Copper mesh and copper piping has been effective preventing roots growing into drainage. [EDIT: I have tried copper in recirculating hydroponics and DTW, but not in aeroponics]

Yes I mean a small crop. I'm not sure exactly about the plant size but I am thinking grow/flower cycles much like what people use in Aeroflo or Stinkbud systems. I think you are right about the 360 vs 2 x 180, why spray the side of the buckets.. :)

No, I mean low pressure aeroponics. The roots will be hanging in air. I guess you can call it aeroponics/NFT if there is water on the bottom between spraying cycles.

Probably something wrong with the PPM meter. Have you tried to recaliber it?

I think you are right. I can't understand why the growshops market this size as "perfect for larger crops". What you say about 27 litres buckets have me convinced.

Thanks Darkoh69, that's valuable information. I'll start looking for larger dutch buckets. Would you recommend 27 litre buckets or even larger?

Each bucket is irrigated individually with a 360 degree sprayer, one plant in each bucket. The water is drained from a hole in the bottom of the bucket into the reservoir below. It looks like the roots from each plant have more space compared to similar systems built with PVC pipes. I don't...

Hi Airwalker 16, Sorry, I'll try to be more specific. I am planning my next grow and are going to buy or build a low pressure aeroponic system. My first thought was a PVC pipe system like The StinkBud System or like the GHE AeroFlo20. With this kind of system 4-5 plants grow together in each...

Have anyone tried growing low pressure aeroponics with dutch bucket setup instead of tubes? Would 11 litre bucket be enough?

That project sounds very interesting. What sensor did you choose for meassure the humidity in the root chamber?

I had a similar experience a few years back. :) Edibles can be very potent and it lasts for hours.

I think you are right. And it's not much extra work to make concentrate of the buds.

Excellent, Somewhere around that numbers is what I would like the single dose to be. Not stronger.

Thank you LamontCranston, that sounds very tasty! I will try that recipe.
