That is why I follow along with this thread.

I do not have the time or tenacity to apply myself to this type of grow, but props to you guys that do !!!

Anytime I've deviated from their advice I have gotten the less than perfect results they told me I would, so in a sense if you listen to what they are saying, you can definitely win with their advice ... You gotta inderstand that there are different motivations in this style of growing, the whole point is going as far as possible, with just as much emphasis on that as getting some tangible harvests. Most people just want to get some results for as little fuss/money/time invested as possible, but these threads aren't for that mindset... This is definitely a small niche, but quite interesting to people who share the same type of interests.

Quite true... I think if I ever were to have the perfect setup that I couldn't think of a way to improve, then I would get sad. I love how this type of growing keeps me constantly dreaming of better ways to try. Fortunately for me I still haven't even gotten completely over my heat issues from the sun, so it gives me plenty to think about and that's a big part of the reward for me personally. I'm never truly bored in life now, because any quiet moment becomes an opportunity to dream up new designs for this... lol

hey aerojunky early on you mentioned you were mixing your own salts this is my goal as well, would you mind posting you veg and bloom recipes and giving a noob some pointers.

Holy crap I think this thread melted half of my brain. big props to all you guys for this plethora of information. I currently use a LPA setup I built, but after all this info I am going to join the ranks of AA after my current grow finishes. I probably wont be around much but again I would like to thank you all for this thread.

now I am off to read True HP Aero For 2011 <-- That's gonna hurt...259 pages.

so i have been debating with felow aroe growers i grow in gh aroe but they say its just a deep water cuture with the laser lines so i took out some of my old chambers and seen that multiponic sytem and to realy debate it i realy cant because i nevor tired the aroe misters with a timer i will run it first then do the fog to see and compare.. but i will be going over all your info hears my pic. of the new aroe mister asemblynew aroe.jpeg

that kind of chamber is exactly what you dont want for true hp aeroponics. its way to shallow and when your roots hit the bottom they form a mat that the fine mist isnt able to penetrate.
on the top of the root stucture you have the right amount of mist. and on the bottom your roots are not being hydrated properly and consistently, due to the mist not being able to reach them.

what you want for hp aero is a large deep chamber so that the roots can hang freely and recieve an even misting saturated in dissolved oxygen.

good idea im gona have to talk to plastic company and i did.. they sead i need to pay about 20 thousand dollars to make an injection mold??? and they can weld plastic but they want like 400 per chainber.. wow thats way out of my ball park, also i have grown in this for like three years already i love these chanbers the only problem the way we do it the roots sometimes fill only leaving about a half inch of the top holes sometimes flooding them many times i come in and the fucken water is on the floor.. i was thinking a lil bit wider and like you sead mabe deeper.. but im gona try its its only an experiment.. let see what happends
