What I meant about the nozzles effect was whether it would be too violent and kill the microbes.

Just saw this, sounds promising! Your results w/ this grow will be interesting for another reason: I've wondered if the microbes would be effected by the nozzles, or if there could be sufficient nutrient uptake w/o providing a home for the microbes to produce them (like in soil). Its a moot...

I'd love to eventually delve full bore into aqua, stuff like that is right up my alley. Have you ever heard of black soldier fly larvae? Aka phoenix worms, they're a popular reptile and fish feed. If you keep a bsfl bin around to raise em, u can feed them ANYTHING including dog shit, road...

This sounds very interesting! I've been trying to come up with a nozzle of my own design that resists clogging. Ultimately I'd like to experiment with organic fertilizer and microbes in true aero, and it doesn't surprise me the nozzles used traditionally here clogged quickly on you. Sounds...

Two more for now. These also have great visuals! Hope u enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh9kXHc0ZzE&list=PL1914AC2DC48F93B7&index=9 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzjkNFnWo6Q

Still need to listen to that all the way thru... but Ireally liked One Night in Space. Would you call it post rock tho? Or maybe prog? I can already tell I'll like it either way. Here's some more, one's kinduva weird act but I love it...

Two things I do just for the enjoyment of it (yet both are prescribed for anxiety and depression) are floatation therapy and drinking kava tea. I'd strongly encourage you to try either. but the former especially helped dig me out of a slump after losing my job and home. Hope everything works...

Any post rock fans? Also, I'll spend hours youtubing "epic music" aka trailer music. Herb is all I know, does profound things for me when musically enhanced. Couple lil samples http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjax2Ek4edU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iasgwfa1blY

I like the ideas on how to penetrate the root mass. Lately I've wondered about putting some sort of lattice in the root chamber. Without any medium in aero for roots to support themselves, I'd think gravity would be like a constant lst preventing lateral growth. I'm thinking about...

Nevermind, working now. Lately I'm liking the idea of each plant having a dedicated root zone. Cavadge's grow got my wheels spinning; I like how modular it is vs one giant chamber which will always have a high volume of mist required no matter if every site is planted. Also if pulling plants...

What's the minimum? 15?

Thanks for the comments, guys! I probably won't try much with this design right away; been anxious to find a grow spot and try out a different nozzle idea. I will try to get a demo run on video soon, I'm excited about this next one! BTW, just in case I haven't seen 'em all yet, can anyone...

Hey papa, awesome grow journal! Hope to start my own soon. Regarding your idea of using electrolysis for added DO, interesting idea but some things I humbly suggest considering: in swimming pools this technology is used to disinfect the water because along with H2 and O2, reactive oxygen...

The nozzles are made from using both a clicking retracing ball point pen, and a drip irrigation "flag type" emitter. Take apart the emitter and throw away the plug. In its place glue the cone-shaped tip of the pen (you'll need to shop around for one with a suitable fit, I had to slightly drill...

Hi! First post, but been learning much from the forums for some time. Wanted to show everyone my design of an atomizing nozzle, only a few bucks to build one. To be honest, I've never tried using them after the first grow failed a couple years ago. Life decided to make a left turn and I...
