    HHP's 10K HPA Build Thread!

    wow i havent posted on this stuff in so long and yet it seems like the same stuff is still happening now as was a year ago. i do stop by and read the threads now and then and it is sad that people arent getting any results. the guy who says no one has ever grown a large plant is just plain...

    Current coco grow, looking at Aeroponics, need advice

    id stay with the coco and automate it as much as you can. ive done coco and alot of aero and coco can give the same yields as aero can and can be automated as much as aero can. the only big down side imo is the moving and disposal of the coco. may not be a problem for just a small setup but for...

    True HP Aero For 2011

    yea to a small degree Mike with walls and floors but i doubt very little with silk screen. in all truth the roots that lay on a sloped floor would probably get the greatest NFT benefit but the walls very little as the roots seem to stack up there and not allow much to reach the wall to run down...

    if you look at the pic of some HP roots in this link you can see that the roots that come off the netpot do not spread out much but drop to the bottom of the container then spread out and then begin to crawl the walls. the roots to the left in the pic are the only roots that come off the netpot...

    True HP Aero For 2011

    i just cooler the air and solution lines running to the AA pod by using A's idea of a cooling bath with a peltier cooler to chill the 2 gallon bath water. worked fine in awell insulated chamber in a room between 75-80. kept the chamber temp below 68. had 60ft of copper for the air line and 30ft...

    True HP Aero For 2011

    i cant post a link to the place i get tanks from because its local and for obvious reasons that wouldnt be a good idea. But if you live near any city that has 1 million people or so you are bound to have the same types of plastic tank companys that manufacture 100s of different tank sizes and...

    some honest and hard won truths there Bob. Even i have been doing some coco. the shit really does rock.2.5-3/1k not a problem. but i have to say ive had enough of the stuff and am going to switch back to HP. i just cant stand the disposal aspect and hauling of the stuff anymore.

    True HP Aero For 2011

    i had a chamber almost this exact size(you can see it in one of my albums) and i had 8 selonoids with 12 nozzles and i feel it wasnt nearly enough nozzles to cover the space sufficiently. that is a huge space to fill with hydraulic nozzles and i never did add more nozzles to see if it would have...

    the nozzles will work but youd have a better mist dispersion if the nozzles were thru the lid and firing into open space. these nozzles are not 360 degree firing nozzles and alot of your mist is being fired into the side of the container or downward toward the container floor, with the nozzles...

    True HP Aero For 2011

    i usually go from a lp cloner to an HP rig and it usually takes a week for them to start transitioning over to the finer mist. the roots dont ever really become HP roots they just grow new HP roots off the DWC or lp aero roots and engulf the whole mass. i posted a pic in aerojunkies AA thresd of...

    True HP Aero For 2011

    i guess it could work but i dont really know what type of rig you got going now. it takes a bit of work to get a 4x4 chamber filled correctly with hydraulic nozzles from my experience. it can be done but large chambers can present some problems. id only personally try large chambers with AA...

    True HP Aero For 2011

    i saw the roots that you finished with mike and saw how they mushroomed out at the top and choked out the bottom portion. you can train your roots to avoid this by extending the JG tubing and placing the nozzles real low to begin with so the roots from the get go drop down to the bottom of the...
