No heater in the garage?

Have you put the rotary beauty to work yet? I like it.

That's true unless someone who's had success with a particular nozzle put's that info out there for others to benefit by not having to buy lots of expensive nozzles. I can understand why it is said you should do the research about aeroponics so you can actually get a good grasp of it before you...

I just ordered a few Bete 1/4XAAD050A nozzles in brass/nickel plated along with fresh solenoids and an RO system. I'll grow some of the more expensive strawberries on the planet. Maybe some medicine too. The nozzles were $49.27 each. That's quite a bit more than the Tefens I used with my first...

The thing that I wonder about with chilling the solution and/or the air is that in the gap between the chiller and the nozzle solenoid there is a fair amount of solution and, depending on the size of the air line, possibly more air than you'd use in a fraction of a second that the nozzle fires...

Right now it's stalled. Lots of things kept me distracted or away from my hobby this last summer so I played in the dirt. I did better with AAA. I'll start up with it again in Jan. I do know from the harvest that trees are not a problem for some strains. It is more like a scree than a tree...

Hey Atomizer Did you get this new set-up up and running? How did it work out for you?

I agree on the 3/8" to the nozzle for air. For multiple nozzles 1/2" for air is better then tee off to 3/8 for each nozzle. It would take a thread like Cavadge's (spelling?) to teach AA aero like he did HP aero and things would change in mid thread just like for him as he learned what worked and...

I doubt if I'll try them all. For now I'll try different pressure settings for air and solution and different spray intervals. If I hit a home run I will post it to make it easier for future aero experimenters to find.

There are so many options with nozzles it seems rather mind boggling. You need to be an engineer just to wade through the catalogs and get what you need the first time. Why do you prefer flat fans and what is the down side of them? It seems to me the flat fan would be the one to use in your...

How's the new chamber coming along? The more I look at it the more I like it. Lots of innovation there. Which model Spray Systems nozzle is it that you used as the stand-in nozzle and how do you like it?

Why does it matter if the temperature of the nutrient solution in your reservoir is 80 degrees? Why do you want it to be 68 degrees?

You spoke of doing 4 trees in the octagon but how do you get past the dwarfing tendency I'm not getting a picture in my mind of your fabric setup. Is the fabric located inside the box? How do you expel the heat taken up from the inside of the chamber? With nutrient laden atomized mist...

That's interesting. What was the outdoor temperature at the time of the comparison? Were both chambers empty and in the sun? I thought I'd already read all of the "my-true-hp-aero-plug-play-pods" thread but I hadn't. I am now! Very enlightening. It answers a number of questions and explains...

Hi Atomizer How's the octagon coming? I hope you post a video of the whirling mister in action inside of it.

I was thinking the same thing about the mag nitrate as an option but can't find any to have mailed. Guess it isn't essential. The farming in ak has gone to shit. The Delta barley farmers went tits up in the 90's and the dairy farms have almost all gone away so the farm supply stores are gone...

It's kind of hard to see that HPA is any kind of common. But then all I have to judge it by is the forums as I don't know anyone here that even knows anything about it. Of course I don't know everybody. I've tried to find nutrient salts locally. There are 3 hydro stores within 2 miles of me and...

Liability could potentially be an issue selling a high pressure air and water system. Considering it is a very small group using high pressure compared to other ways of gardening that may be why Atomix didn't make it. Besides, most of those who would go with this type of system are most likely...

What is the white top made out of? My first box was made with Hydro Farm premium 4 x 4 flood tray and the 4 x 4 lid for the regular flood tray. Good Quality stuff. The middle section I used 1.5 x 1.5" (2x2) for framing with a 2 x 4 on each corner glued and screwed together with 1/8" mahogany...

Are you designing a commercial system here? This is rather complex for a hobby box. Is it made of plastic? Plastic would be pretty easy to shape and weld and using heat you can shape the bottom to drain where you want it to. How are you going to get the air to the nozzle body? You must be using...
