    First HPA Cabinet grow

    Do you use the standard aquatec shut off switch? Mine seems to be going from 60 to 100 psi. Anyways here's day two. The second batch of clones didn't root too well, will ditch my on off timer, and leave that thing running. I see more fine roots than when it started, but still pretty weak. I...

    what pressure are you assuming for your hypro nozzle suggestion? 80 to 100 PSI still work? description has flow rates for 40 -150 psi, but not sure if there's some tribal knowledge I'm missing for these hypro nozzles.

    Is there a difference between thermal expansion tank and standard accumulator? The thing holding me back from getting a 150 PSI pump is finding a new accumulator that can handle that pressure. I just found this, and it's like half the cost of well x trol s normal tank...

    ok cool, I like how the second page mentions they produce 50 micron droplets. do you like my #3 config above?

    I might bring in more exhaust now, and make the AC run less to help with humidity, can always add a pure water mister for humidification if necessary. I think I'm on the hunt for new nozzles. This entire time I wasn't thinking about the lpa2hpa root transition and I'm not making enough water...

    Aeroponic repeat cycle timer?

    Does the 8800 aquatec go up to 160 psi??? I looked at the datasheet and it didn't really indicate that. I want to go up that high and was thinking I could only use a shurflo... http://www.aquatec.com/booster-pumps.html

    Aeroponic repeat cycle timer?

    I have no experience with this one, but someone should take a leap and try it. http://www.greenerhydroponics.com/Digital-Short-Cycle-Timer-_p_80782.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwl4q-BRDtzJmSk-uGunkSJACmCOY-HLYVNG56TLU-sKIAksSjCWlDapDXwjKOexaWxcznMBoC5lPw_wcB

    First HPA Cabinet grow

    Can we talk about humidity? Do you measure it/actively control it? I've been trying to rely on AC to control temp but it is overpowered and drives humidity to 20% Is it more of a problem with recent transplants, or do I need to seriously reconsider how I manage temps? My ambient humidity is...

    4 Nozzles in a spiral inducing pattern? I hope I didn't just make an elaborate oven. The transplants were dried out and most roots were dry even though their net pots had really fine mist clinging to them. A few of them had wet roots, but they were still mostly dried out on top. 3 to 4 second...

    Ok, shoot so you're thinking water issue. The Rh is 20% because the AC pulls the moisture out if the air... I could up the RH constraint a bit, it'll make my exhaust trigger a lot. Really wanted to avoid that. I'm doing one second every minute, and there was mist coming out of the holes, not...

    Most of em had 4 to 5 inch roots with fish bones coming off. There's a pic of them in the cloner in first post that is from two days ago.

    So those pictures were from two hours after putting them in. I've never grown with a real grow light before, mother is on a 50W LED and clones were 13W LEd. I panicked and read something about light stress so I obscured the light a bit for now.

    This is my first time growing aero. Peculiar thing happened when I put clones in. Some of them flopped over. There seemed to be adequate mist getting to them.... 45 gallon chamber. 90 psi. RH 20% Nutes GH, 320 ppm. I had them in the cloner 17 days tap water, then 2 days at 100 ppm last two...

    Question on Nozzles & Tee Connections

    They make FPT to push fit adapters, I get mine on Amazon. You could do a push fit Tee and then two of those adapters from there. You should tell us about your chamber and proposed nozzle layout, and I'm guessing Atomizer may chime in with some admittedly cryptic advice that could simplify your...

    Aeroponic repeat cycle timer?

    Oh, gotcha, I use a transistor for anything DC, so the solenoid. Which is the one im guessing failed for you. Relays are overkill for small DC components, imo. No moving parts to fail in a transistor, and they're like 10 cents. I had to add beefy pull down resistors to my songle relay input...
