I have some red cloud tops, and the mist seems finer than the biocontrols by quite a bit. tree farmer just reminded me this probably isn't an ideal thing though. The definite drawback is that they don't have nearly the throw or dispertion characteristics, so it will be much harder to get the same coverage and penetration with them. Not saying they are doomed, but those are some things I noticed. Cavadge and Rom used the cv versions. You're still missing the point with the low crack points, when the psi drops to 25, the mist becomes alot coarser- and then you just undid all the work of making 50 micron mist on your roots by covering them up with bigger droplets Arnold
I think you're missing more then just one point. First off, i use the CV cloudtops too, not that a 1psi crack point means shit anyway. Secondly, the "25psi" crack was in the Drip-Free Diaphragm Check Valve i linked, what you quoted me up there talking about was the 4023 nozzles, which i said i read have a 90psi crack point. I still wanna verify that with a company first, but if it's anywhere near that high a crack point, and the spring inside looks like it's a beast, what do you think the close point is? A worthless 1-25 psi or something? I doubt it. If two noz's in a trash can isn't enough coverage, (i think me and Mike can both verify that) and 3 turns out to be a bit of overkill with noz's like the cloud tops, and the digs that have similar specs, maybe 3 of the 4023's that put out half as much, with a tighter spray angle which should go further, could be just right for us in cans. Not to mention, as I've said before, if you're not Richie Rich and buying a noid for every noz you're undoubtedly at 0PSI at every noz when your noid is shut. You're also going to build pressure slower, and spit out more oversized droplets at first, Vs someone with even just a 25psi CV right behind there noz's.
So again i ask, how is ANY pressure being held back a bad thing? Or is it just not a 'good enough thing' because your hero's didn't think of it first and or its not the over priced path you chose? Just because it's not the best option you can think of doesn't mean a thing honestly. Have any of you tried that Diaphragm Check Valve and seen how much it holds back? Have any of you bought the 4023's and see what they can do? Didn't think so. For someone starting out they might very well be the smarter option.
You got your noz's, and mind, you say the mist out of mine is much finer. Well did you measure the width of the droplets? Maybe that means mine are actually at 50 microns, and yours are much larger. Could explain the lack of root porn from you in this 200+ page thread. The right amount of mist in your root zone is just that and nothing more, blow your 50 micron droplets has hard as you want left to right in that cube homo, lol. it doesn't make them fit into any smaller a hole between root hairs then the downward spiraling vortex i'll have going in my cans.
