I'm also interested in mixing my own nutes. Does it make sense to first dissolve salts individually & store bulk in liquid form? Seems like it would be easier to whip up a batch using liquid measure. This seems like a well informed group. How can I calculate approximately how much...

If you ran your chiller into a smaller accumulator (that discharged every hr or two) the chilled nutes might stay cold long enough inside to be effective. You'd wanna insulate the hell out of it though.

A mag drive pump and an accumulator don't play together. I'm pretty sure atomizer already said it, but you run a coil of tubing post-accumulator/pre-solenoid, into a cold water bath. A mini fridge comes to mind. Or simply use your tap water, if it's cold enough. Locate your accumulator outside...

Some people wouldn't know good information if it slapped them in the face. Atomizer is probably the best source for information regarding aeroponics you're gonna find, on this site, or anywhere else. An accumulator provides instant pressure to the nozzles when used with solenoids. A pump has to...

I've been wondering the same thing about nozzles myself. The bete's look good to me, and look most like the ones used in the atomix. Not sure what they cost yet, but It's gotta be a pretty penny. Even knowing that I like the bete's, there's still the matter of which one...

I'm curious to know what atomizer thinks of this setup? I see a top feed line for early stages. 8 Hydraulic nozzles pointing upward. I can't imagine they're running to waste. The lower half of the chambers is somewhat confusing to me. They're all fitted together like a DWC setup, with 4" or so...

Hey HPAgirl, how did you find that video? I can't seem to find anything about them. I don't think anything of this size has ever been done, using HPA & MJ. Fucking scary and awesome at the same time.

Whoa. Naysayer's of HPA beware!

I've come back around to sticking with what others are doing. I'm going to have a hard time as it is, and would rather not complicate things any more than necessary. Is there anything wrong with this schedule? Pop enough beans so that after sexing, I'm left with 20 or so mothers. Veg under 2 x...

This seems like a legit cloning/mother setup.

Lookin' good, thump! That 12' ceiling is nice. Gavitia's for $235 ea? Double ended? That's a ridiculous deal, if so.

I don't know what to say. This post has made me re-evaluate (once again) the entire plan. I started here, and have gone around, probably two full revolutions. I'm going to have to settle upon a idea soon, lol. While I don't feel as if it's time wasted, exploring possibilities... The hour is...

On the price of electricity, I'm basing this solely off legallyflying's guestamate of 4-5k for 60k. I think we're in the same region, and I have no idea. This is info that I don't really need to provide, but felt like I should take a stab at. I'm not on the hook for calculating a lot of these...

Good question, man. I have been struggling with this. There are extra costs involved, and I just want to get this thing up & makin money. I have yet to feel out the investor, we'll meet next week. If I can convince him to let me do what want, I will still run 1 flower room coco, dtw so I have...

Coco. I don't know yet if I'll mix it with perlite. I have never grown with it before. Mostly medium-less for me.
