I am still dialing in my system, but I am pretty sure I was having nutrient issues (I am attempting to mix my own and dial in my HPA at the same time :/) and root zone temperature control issues. HPAgirl - I am not familiar with their company.

I'm used to running with hydro (ebb & flow, DWC, etc.) and run my pH 5.7-5.9. Does aero run at different pH levels? I've heard some people mention aero requires slightly lower pH, but haven't found a definite answer. Any help out there? Atomizer - What are you thoughts on the importance of root...

I'm keeping the on time at 1.5 seconds, the off time at 4 mins, raising the EC, and continuing to go drain to waste. I've seen many LPA setups running misters 24/7, 10 mins/10mins off, 15 seconds/5 mins off, etc, which makes going drain to waste very difficult as you'd need to continuously make...

Thanks Atomizer. I think I'm going to convert these first plants to LPA and raise the EC. I have a small R&D setup that I'll use to chart the necessary on times for a full HPA grow cycle (I think they change as the root mass size increases). Once I have those times dialed in, I'll convert the...

Atomizer - I believe I am providing enough mist to the roots as they look more like LPA roots than HPA. I can provide a picture of the roots if that would help. The root reservoir is ~90-100 Gallons Nozzles: Sixteen (16) .4mm Brass Nozzles (I have a controller and solenoid valve that can...

I think it's some type of deficiency. I was feeding them HPA nutrients but I think because they were getting over sprayed, they've converted to LPA roots. I upped the nutrient concentration today quite a bit to see if this solves the problem. pH has been locked in at 5.8 - not sure if it...

Just transplanted into HPA system. Any ideas what is causing the problems (see picture)?

I am having some issues with my new Aeroponic System (see pictures). Any help would be appreciated. Little Background: Light: 1000W HPS (I thought I would be switching to flower soon after transplant, but the plants started acting up). Plants Age: 1 monthish Recently (5 Days Ago) Transplanted...

Clogging hasn't been an issue with my system as I've incorporated several stages of filtering. Aside from clogging, is there any downside to brass/stainless steel? Again, I assumed that brass/stainless steel would wear better than the plastic nozzles. I actually like the anti-drip feature with...

First time poster here. Brief description of my HPA system components before firing off my question: accumulator tank (pressured to 120 PSI), solenoid valve, and a deep cycle timer/controller (self programmed) that allows .1 second adjustments. I have a question concerning nozzles......I am...
