Here is the wiring Run both the Neutral from pigtail and one leg of solenoid to #10 Run Hot from pigtail to #9 Jumper #7 and #9 Run Second leg of solenoid to #8 This configuration will make "A" your on time and "B" your off time. To program Press and hold "MD" at the same time press any down...

HVAC filters are cheap and easy to prevent debris from entering anything. Plus you can use a synthetic mesh that will hold up to moisture and easily cut it to size...

Sure! Ill fire up the grill and we can all kick back with a cold one and discuss techniques. I'm always looking for a reason to BBQ. Have you thought about adding another mist head in the area lacking?

I agree PF, we are all doing AA, in my system I used compressed air and an accumulator but what you might find interesting is that an accumulator is convenient in HPAA but it's not completely necessary in AAAA (Air-Assisted Atomized Aeroponics). I know that Fatman actually uses siphon nozzles...

Thanks for your interest Destillat! there is not much to show right now, plus I only grow Basil so that alone may not be too impressive for most. Stay tuned though, Ill have some cuttings ready to go into the veg chamber shortly.

Air is introduced through the nozzle. It's an internally mixed nozzle. The air comes from outside my room using the oil less compressor to allow higher concentrations of O2 to be utilized in the chamber.

No, not simpler per se, but quite effective. I commend you for your determination, but I personally think not running a solenoid and acc is more difficult in AA or HP. Either way, thanks for the kudos, its great to have you on board PF. Feel free to chime in with any opinions/advice on...

Well its good to have you back, when you do go to atomized it will be quite easy, as your only lacking a compressor and 2 nozzles. Even in your small chamber I would recommend 2 nozzles as it will more evenly distribute the cloud. Obviously your durations will be low. As always, thanks for...

I have two access doors on each hood lined with weather stripping for a tight seal. I can clean the lenses and change the bulbs with very little effort. You can see them in this picture.

If your res looks good, and your PH is on par, you can run the same nutes for as long as you want. The problem is unless you adjust your NPK levels, they are eventually going to change until you run into deficiencies. At the most I would recommend switching your res every 2 weeks, but I...

If you recycle, flush once a week and check PH daily. Why are you recycling? Nutes are cheap @ low EC and there is no need to check PH daily. I only drain my accumulator if I am changing the concentrations of my res. If you want to be on the safe side, you can flush for 72 hours or more.

Fiber (fiberglass) Reinforced Polymer. Its the same stuff restaurants use in the kitchen and service areas to allow a cleanable waterproof surface. One side is smooth and the other is textured and semi-gloss. The reason it works so well is because its very rigid for how thin it is. The...

Im always looking to better my system. Don't just dangle the bait, tell us what ya got?

Mike, Everything you need to fix your lid problem is at your local Home Depot. Get yourself a piece of FRP and a thinner piece of polystyrene foam 3/4-1". If you have a local foam shop you can actually get a more dense piece, 2 or 3 lb. You can also get the yellow polyurethane sheet as it...

??? Um... Thanks?

I actually installed a simple return valve before my solenoid that I use to drain my accumulator. With this set up, its easy to drain unused nutrients back to my reservoir so switching to RO is effortless. You may want to run some RO water through your accumulator once to flush it. I've also...

24-72 hours in atomized aero only with RO.

With such low levels of food grade H2O2, you can use it all the way through. If you prefer, you can stop using it at the same time you begin to flush your nutrients. From 24-72 hours prior to harvest in any system because it will be completely decomposed before then.

To begin, remember and ounce of prevention, yada yada. If a person already has a mess of pythium they are dealing with, H2O2 may or may not help their roots recover. H2O2 vs. Bleach is a long standing argument. I would rather not get into that aspect but I will say both are beneficial in...

I may have missed something but I did not see your PH level listed on your thread. What PH are you maintaining? Looking at your root hairs your misting schedule looks fine. What I would recommend is changing out your res. Add nutes first, Ph your batch to 6.0 and watch the new growth of your...
