so after a lot of problems i finally got my aa rig up and running
i had it up a couple of weeks ago, but shit came crashing down. a brass fitting snapped and my compressor ran all night. the roots went brown. luckily im growing the easyest plant of them all wandering jew. i put the plants in a tub of water with an air stone and they held on.
my system is comprised of
two delavan #11 waste oil nozzles, [ im not afraid of brass ]
a california air tools "dental compressor" [ its not a great machine, but its gonna get the job done for now]
11 gallon air tank,
a bunch of pex and john guest [my lines are way to small, if i were able to fatten them way up, i would be able to run 40-42psi according to fatman at the regulator]
a junky air regulator [ i believe it constricts the volume of air my nozzles are able to tap into]
a gas can for semi gravity feeding [ seems like the only way to go as they spit and produce differnent flow rates at different siphon hights]
im running at 55psi air pressure, thats the regulator setting im actually running 42 psi at the nozzles, but my regulator, solenoid and air lines are to small
with a timer setting of
0.7 sec on time and
10 minutes off time
im using around two quarts of water a day, thats a guestamation
my temperature is 60F
and am growing in my friends backyard greenhouse with natural sunlight at 41.8N latitude,
