Little background.. Ive been a member here for a while.. ive never made a post.. ive just crept in the background.. learning and taking in all the info i can like a sponge.. and all along - -growing with the most crazy ideas and over analyzing the equipment over and over again, until it yields me the best smoking shit we are able to have today.. ive always had really good success with all of my grows.. even as a newbie.. i think ive lost one plant that hermied in like 6 years.. lol..(still using seeds from the berry bomb hehehehe- - - i just got lucky, and have a awesome green thumb! ;)... well im not here to answer a bunch of questions, or brag at all!!!.. bc i am too busy and dont have the time... but i wanted to share what i have came up with to the world.. and ways to make shit happen so other people dont have to go through the blunders i did .. by mainly looking at some of the photos i will post from time to time.. ( im always changing my grow space.) ,,, its nothing for me and my friend to get a wild hair and rip the entire grow space out and change the whole setup "for fun"... if its not fun... find another hobby.. because to grow good shit.. . you have to put in the time ... i can tell by smoking anyones shit.. if they put love in the grow.. well.. i do!... and i love it... like a wise man said... you will never work another day in your life if you like your job!.. :)

Over the years ive found the the trusty EBB and Grow system is the good old method! its forgiving / cheap / and easy to understand... set it.. forget it.. ive had it so simple before... where i change the enviroment- co2 /temp/ect from my phone. and maybe once every 2-3 weeks change or progressively add nutes to tanks and not see plants but on webcam once a month!.. it depends on your dedication to the game, and your understanding of the systems.

After doing Ebb and Grow for years.. i decided to go with the Mothership.. High pressure Aeroponics... NOT LPA.. (the cheap shit) sorry for budget growers.. not a snob.. just saying.. ... i like for my nutes/water solution to be atomized and uptaked by roots instantly!!.. :)..

Like i said... Im not here to debate.. on whats best!.. chances are i dont give a fuck.. already done what you did :).. and know what works best for me.. so if you dont work for NASA.. dont bother arguing with me..(if you do work for nasa.. feel free :)... i dont care.. and am hard headed .. soo.. that being said.. im going to go through my almost built system ive changed probably 10 times! as ive progressed.. what im working with...


True Aeroponics 80PSI + 50+ Micron - Following TAG Rules and some better advancements through blunders and new tech.

Medical grow in limited space ..

The system specs ( might leave shit out but , if you know aero .. you get it ) read TAG if not.

The medium - There is none - neoprene collars - clones... dont nothing else touch my roots!!.. True AERO!
Pressure = 80psi
Nozzle - Stainless / outside brass combo.. size-16
tubing- i like JG fittings.. but it seems to silly to me to have all the small tubing everywhere.. looks "not so professional".. it will work though!.. but not my thang.. I went with 600psi 1/2 tubing almost everywhere. The JG is not real up gradable and u will loose pressure on long runs of posts.. remember to have selonoids as close as you can get to nozzles!.. less drip..
Coffins- they are 5x5 fence post - in study ive done 4 inch and round post and large containers ... i perfer the 5x5 fp because i can get 1/2 in there nice and use 3in netpots!.. boom!

Grow room cooling ect

The aero room piggy backs off the other EBB room with de-humidifier (soon to add mini-split!! -
Going to use Mylar on walls as soon as i get it situated. White or mylar.. both work well..

Controls-
All Autopilot - Master Green house controll w/fuzzy
Autopilot lighting Controller w/recycle


Will add more tonite.. almost done .. Stay tuned!!!

Hey 2bric, hows your hpa system coming along? Any pics of the system?

How many feet does your roots have until they touch bottom? I've been a long-time forum lurking hpa grower as well and love to see the passion out there for the "mothership" lol.

With 5" x 5" fence posts a couple of inches max. The brass/stainless fog nozzles are not a good choice as they are very prone to partially clogging.
