    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    i agree with you there. im going to cut some holes in a piece of 1.5" styrefoam and set it on top of the plastic. i doubled up all the houseplants today and added the solar coleuses, ill bet in 10 days they will fly past the jews.

    oh im not knocking stuff from the 80s, hell look at my car its a mid 2000s and almost everypart of the car is failing after only 130K miles and i babyed it, but 80s coolers did suck., at least over here. thanks for the calculators.

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    i have over 25 feet of 5/8 ID tubing and some one gave me a cooler that is about that volume. its not super insulated, its from the 80s all my stuffs old. but ill fix that, with some more insulation. it got to 100F in the greenhouse today where my system was,, caught me off guard, it wont be...

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    what volume do you recommend for the cooler that i will be running my airlines thru with the cold water. and how many feet of tubing do you think ill need, to have submerged? i glued a meter stick to the oil furnace you see in the background of my aero system. i have it so that the stick reads...

    Whats the best Hydro method for Commercial Grow?

    if your talking 200-400sog, id say air atomizing aeroponics. if you can figure it out.

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    before you mentioned using air pressure to maintain sub 1 psi pressures, you suggested that a header tank with a float valve might work, is this what you had in mind

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    heres the results of 3 days to be honest, i though for sure i would have hydro roots right now. itll be interesting to see what happens as the temps increase. when i get my new #4s what settings would you recommend? that should be the new test

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    speaking of buggered nozzles, what kind of filter would you recommend. my nozzle has a pretty large orifice, do you think my 200 ss mesh will suffice. ill admit i havent been the most diligent in keeping my reservoir pristine, so ill bet a finer filter could help.

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    ive been thinking about the tank and i thing ill go ahead and clean the tank and go ahead and fire it up as it is, and keep an eye out for rust. i wont need a 1-3 pressure gauge if i intend to use a water column right? seems like the water column is the pressure gauge, as my meter stick is...

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    something more to think about, i think ill just leave things the way they are for the time being as it aint broke . its really no big deal to take my resevoir down anyway to fill it up

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    what would happen if i didnt treat the galvanized coating, do you think it would corrode, or maybe would it leach zinc into my solution? do you think i could just make disks from mylared bubble wrap. im trying to avoid the hydro store as the one i like went out of buisiness and the other one...

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    hey atomizer i was just looking at the specs for the #11 nozzle and it says that at 1.4 bar air pressure and a head of 150mm i would get a a spray angle of 65 degrees. do you think these settings would make a 4x4 foot chamber with full coverage more possible shit that give me 3 times my...

    Constructing a Homebrew Atomix Air-Atomized Aeroponic System

    whats up tricky. hows your diy atomix going, i think my project is going pretty good, now that i have atomizer supervising lol:lol: turns out my chamber is the exact dimentions of the first g-love thread, im thinking im going to up it to 4'x4'x15" in the near future though to accomodate a...

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    i noticed since i changed to the #5s and your settings that the plants that were not doing well are starting to shoot out alot of roots. cant wait for it to warm up so i can really see what this things capable.

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    good news i found a solution, glad i never throw anything away. its a three gallon paint tank with a working pressure of 60psi. its galvanized in the inside. the pipe that dips into the nutes is also galvanized, im in the process of john guesting it up. going to run it tomarow. i will calibrate...

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    i can get a cornelius keg at my local brewing and growing store for like $30, it will be in the 60s for the next 5 days at least, nasty weather. its actually much colder, but thats what my buddy keeps the thermostat set to, i feel you on the changing the settings every 5 minutes. seems like the...

    my gravity fed air atomizing aeroponic system

    by the time i was ready to take the videos today it was really to dark and i was too tired to keep my eyes open the roots look good just a touch wet, just my take, most of the droplets on them are pretty tiny. they seem to be growing faster then before though
