It’s not a DEFINED science. Not by a longshot. At its core, Aeroponics is not a terribly difficult concept to grasp. You said it yourself – delivering a nutrient solution to plant roots in the range of 5-50 microns (some prefer the 20-80 micron range but to each their own). How the...

Just curious, when you say 60 to 30 are you talking air pressure? And if so, at what pressures are you running your solution? I noticed a lot of "spitting" from my nozzles as well, less so when gravity fed, and I would think even less when pressure regulated. Good luck with everything, I'm...

Hi Oxanaca, I had a question about your nozzles/solenoid placement. Do you plan on placing the entire nozzle withing the chamber or "just the tip"? I ask because I have setup my nozzles/solenoids (all siphon/gravity fed) with a small length of JG tubing between the nozzle and solenoid such that...

Ahh I see, so in my original configuration I was only powering the timer. After playing around with some different orientations I think I got it figured out, thanks a bunch!

Sorry to bring up the timer/solenoids from a few pages back but I have a question about wiring: I have the 422ar relay cycle timer and I've wired up my 12vDC power source to positions 2&7 on the 8-pin socket and it works fine, and I've separately tested my solenoid valves (12v, normally closed)...

Well I don't want to speak too soon but I did successfully run my nozzles w/ 30 psi air pressure and they were producing a very fine mist (although whenever the air flow stopped, a trickle of solution continued to pour out of the nozzles when gravity fed, I guess this is just a function of...

Hi oxanaca just thought I'd check in as I'm in a similar situation as you and share many of the same questions. I'm currently building a gravity fed air-atomized aeroponic system and I feel like a kid on Christmas with all the different components arriving in the mail everyday! It's a bummer...

Root scrogging/training/pruning seems to be an important factor to consider, given the limitations in chamber size/shape. One idea I was entertaining in my stoney-bologna state of mind was to let gravity do the shaping. That is, hang the plants upside down and place the light near the ground. A...

Thank you for your response TB! It's really amazing how dedicated you and the other senior members are when it comes to encouraging positive dialogue on HPA and offering such specific, transparent knowledge to the masses. I am limited to six mature plants at a time so I was looking for an...

I was thinking of cutting the bottom of of one tub, replacing it with some ABS plastic, and cutting a 3-4" hole in the plastic for the net cup. The root mass/pom-poms may be too wide for those openings though.... I guess I could also check root development by lifting the first tub since I see...

Hmmm quite the workout I see, thanks for the math! Ya at those prices it's a pretty compelling argument to go with the electric. Now I just need to get me a little bit o' propane propaaaaaane.... sorry I've been waiting to say that since I first saw your avatar some several thousand posts...

Thanks Atomix, I guess to take advantage of the manual pumps it would be better to have a system capable of storing high pressures to be released over a long period of time. If my 8 biocontrol nozzles (2 in each of the 4 chambers) are each releasing 0.08 oz./sec (2.366 mL/sec.... just realized...

First let me say thank you to John Guest, Tree Farmer, Cavadge, Hammer21, G-Love, PetFlora, and Atomix for offering such a wealth of information and of course TB for organizing and presenting it so well. I have been reading the first 35 pages of this thread with all my spare time this passed...

Been a while since I've checked this grow...have you harvested? What kind of yield did you get? Any more pics?:eyesmoke:

Any update on the grow? I'm really interested to see how your lady is filling out
