Here is my rooting technique. I did not use a heating element in this recent batch Now This is my method, there is always someone out there who will disagree or expand. To cut clones I use a combination of sterilized pharmaceutical scissors and a new sterilized razor blade. Before you cut...

So here are my recent clones. They have been in the chamber for 8 days now with 100% success. Quite a few sprouted roots within about 4-5 days but the last few just sprouted within the last 24-48 hours. Here is a pic of my humidome. I removed a few net pots to allow mist to travel into the...

So here are some pics of my root problems. I'm posting the average looking roots as some are better and some are worse depending on placement within the chambers. These are the roots in my clone chamber prior to placing them in the veg chamber. They are decent I suppose, I'll try not to make...

Your design looks very thought out for just a preliminary test chamber. You have 4 solenoids placed up top, how many nozzles are you using and are they hago, delevan, or bete/spraying systems nozzles? Did you position the spray facing horizontally or vertically? I have come to the...

Agreed... and Martians too. Funny that you mention cars though, cause thats my current occupation.

TB, Thanks for promoting civility her as we both know how quickly these threads can take a turn for the worse. That being said, everyone should understand that this thread will not be used as a proving ground. I would much prefer to continue collaborating together in an effort to progress this...

I as well have considered these possible scenarios. In my larger chamber (technically my medium chamber) the plants were placed in the center of the chamber with the furthest plant being 4' away from the nozzle and the closest 2'. Your probably spot on with the droplet size but I dont think my...

I haven't, I just figured TF was asking about atomizers involvement within the last couple months. I wasn't aware he was currently AWOL.

What do you use to measure PPM?

Haven't fully figured it out yet. When adding a new clone with great solid thick roots I completely overmisted to avoid browning. Even with this precaution and noticeable saturation on the root system the root tips immediately begin to brown. The most interesting part about it is that the...

Do you have an EC meter? These hanna meters are convenient because both the PH and Ec probes are in a single unit. Surely its debatable as to the longevity and worth of a PH meter by itself, but how do you go about measuring EC? I know I will eventually need to replace my unit but as far as...

I have yet taken apart my aquatec pressure switch but I gather it is most likely the same as my shurflo, which I have on numerous occasions disassembled. The allen screw on my shurflo only serves to tighten the tension of an internal spring which in turn increases the pressure needed to trip...

Thanks bro, the only concern I have right now is the thin roots. I've been curious as to whether or not people using fogponics have encountered the same issues I have been noticing.

Do you maintain your probe with cleaning and storage solution? Have you tried leaving your probe overnight in some hanna cleaning solution? Also, never store your probe in distilled water or the filling solution will leak out of it. Here is a good site on maintaining and reconditioning your...

Well, my crops are basil so I'm not worried at all. I took just about every cutting I could and put them in my cloner. The leak is at the bottom of the chamber and is allowing water to leak through and potentially become a mold issue. The bottom layer of polystyrene sheeting lifted slightly...

Thanks TB, I'm working out the kinks as best I can but I just found a new issue. I located a small leak in my chamber and I'm going to have to shut it down completely to fix it. I'll clone my current stock then fix the problem. I'll most likely either add 2 more nozzles or at the very least...

What type of computer are you looking for? I have several water chilling tower units one that is programmable via modem. I may have some more photos to post shortly, Ive been very busy with work and haven't had time to update my thread. I am not too familiar with 12v injectors however if you...

TF did get back to me on this issue, There are currently so many variables that even he was not 100% sure where to start. I am grateful that he took the time to contact me about it. It is still quite a strange situation because its almost like the plants are immediately shocked but once they...

Well its been a while I have been dealing with some issues with my veg chamber. For one reason or another the roots of newly transplanted plants are browning and drying out. I increased my cycle time to significantly saturate the root balls to prevent any losses, but the tips immediately start...
