    I grow aeroponicly right now (see Pic) The one thing I battled with is actualy being Aeroponic, not just beating the water into droplets. I started using high GPH pumps (even 1/2 HP) and the results was there was not enough back presure PSI ( you can stop it with you thumb) to operate it to the point where my droples were smaller than .05 microns (mist). What I ended up with was a low GPH high PSI pump. Now irt works fine. So I guess my question is how are you using a 800 GPH pump. You must have figured out something I didn't

    Those bigger diameter post would work great also they cost a little more and the end caps are a little more difficult to find to fit tight but they d be great.I planned on useing them to build smaller units for sale to compensate for short length that roots would have to help give some room.You could go to the biiger net pots with larger rockwool cubes in those and might add some more stability for larger plants give them a try and posy back what you think

    Cloud I use different sprayers then your using.Your I kinda looked for as they reminded me of the kind at grocery stores but couldnt find any except brass one and they wer $9 a piece so not what I wanted in abudget machine.I use my 800 gph pump which is great and works very well I bought a 1200 gph pump with the though more gph the higher the volume the higher the pressure the smaller the mist.Well it did more volume but it cause leakage at the net sites from the extra spray blwoing through the hydroton so I went back to the 800 gph.I dont use spinners but a 360 break mister which has angle "slots" so when the watre comers up it hits the slanted slots is broken into a fine sprinkle or larger mist.Your mister maybe a better "mist" creator but I havent been able to get any reasonable to play with.I pay about 60 cents each for my misters and have 28 or so in the larger setup with a couple extras on hand just for emergency clogs. I can pop one out slap a new one in and then blow the clogged one clean and have it ready as the back up. What did you pay for those and where did you find them at?I d be interesed in looking at them. Do they have a threaded spike that can be screwed into a hold made in pvc or do they also require speciallize hose and fittings??

    Default Reusable?

    I read the grow journal, and you mentioned the roots poking out the end caps toward the end of the grow. Do you bother cleaning the roots out of the system for a new batch or just start over with new equipment every time?

    YES GIVE US MORE lol
    In no way, shape, or form have I ever consumed or smoked marijuana, nor have I ever attempted to grow cannabis and I do not plan on it. All posts and dialogues written and displayed by myself are completely fictional and are by no means true.
