Attached are the pictures you requested.

I pulled the 1/4" tube out of the rubber stopper so you can see that the nozzle just screws right in to the 1/4" tubing.

Thanks for the pics. I went to Lowes today and found everything except the sprayers, the only ones there looked like mini sprinklers. I say some like yours but thew were 180 deg. Have yous started growing anything in your system? curious to see how it will work.

thanks

That system looks fuckin great. Im in my first grow but in soil. I am thinking about going to hydro because of the higher yields. Atleast thats what I heard. I was wondering how hard it is to keep the water the way it needs to be as far as Ph, nutes, and whatever else you add?

I have to adjust my 50gal res once a week, I check it daily and adjust as needed, but it is usually right where I want it to be.

If you have the proper tools and your system is designed correctly it will be based on the number of plants to the gallons of water in your system. More plants = more maintenance, also less water = more maintenance.

Say I wanted to grow 8 plants. What kind of system would be best? How many gallons?

Rule of thumb is one flowing gallon per plant. The system determines the reservoir. (Aeroponic) Go with a 10 gal reservoir if you want weekly maintenance, double the volume to go 2-3 weeks.

Sorry for all the stupid questions but how does it actually work? I see pics of it but I dont understand. Do the roots grow down into the water or does the sprayers spray the roots with the water?

It is an aeroponics/NFT feeding system. the Pipes are on a decline angle back to the resivoir so gravity brings the water back to the res. they are sprayed from the top by the yellow mist heads that you can get thru your local hydro shop.

Great design! I have a similar design in the testing stages using buckets... they all have their own root area!
