    Advanced aeroponics - or how to get fuzzy roots and be a happy grower

    Why aeroponics? Most people would agree that aero is the apex of hydroponics. Ok, maybe its more like some people would agree ;) It is supposed to give you faster growth, faster harvests, bigger buds, higher yields, etc etc etc. Ok, fine. All of that is true – in theory. In my experience, YMMV...

    Which Aquatec pump to reach 130 PSI?

    Im needing a new pump for my HPA system. Ive been using espresso pumps and running my accumulator tank between 115 PSI and 140 PSI max. The problem is these solenoid pumps are noisy, and now it is failing after about 8 months of use. The problem Im having is the only Aquatec pump listed on...

    Trying to do the math on an affordable HPA system

    I know 'affordable' depends on your wallet, and mine is pretty tight, but Im determined to give this a try if I can. I really need to keep the total cost to under $300 if at all possible - less is more in this case. I have been reading a gazillion old posts about HPA and AA systems for the last...

    Anyone ever tried air driven atomizer type approach for aeroponics?

    After my reading and experiments in hydro, Im convinced less is more as far as the water to air ratio in hydro. That means systems like the Membrane meniscus technique, or HP aero or maybe true NFT, with a very thin layer of water rather than a flood of water, would all be "better" for the...

    Why do people cut back on feedings at night with hydro?

    One of the earliest comments I got when I decided to use an auto siphon in my hydro setup was that I would be feeding/flooding too often - especially at night. It was suggested that the plants dont feed as much, or maybe not at all, during the night, so all you needed to do was keep the roots...

    Three types of hydro in a small tent on one airpump?

    I have decided to try an experiment for my second grow – which will also be my first time doing hydro. I know, probably a crazy idea, but I like to tinker around with new things and this sounds like fun and it wont kill me if all the plants die Im going to run three different types of hydro...

    First time hydro, going to try Ebb/Flow - is this a reasonable plan?

    Hello everyone! I am hoping to get some feedback on my first ever hydro plans. Im in the final weeks of my first MJ grow in soil and its going pretty well. I have decided that I want to try a hydro grow next time around. After tons of reading, I have decided to try an ebb/flow setup with two...
