    Can HP Aeroponics be achieved without the use of a pump?

    I'm trying to get within the range of 30 - 80 micron. I've been doing LP aeroponics for a couple years. Even though I've have very successful grows with the low pressure system it wastes a lot of water and nutrients. I just feel it's time for me to move up the ladder and take the plunge into the...

    Can HP Aeroponics be achieved without the use of a pump?

    Atomizer thanks for the reply. A question for you if I'm only using a burst of 1-2 seconds every 5 - 6 minutes how many times would I have to add air to the tank in the span of 7 days? If it's like every 3-4 days I could live with that if it's every 24 - 36 hrs I might have to give up on this...

    Can HP Aeroponics be achieved without the use of a pump?

    I would want the system to go on for 1-2 seconds every 5 - 6 minutes and anything left over will just drain out. I wouldn't want a pump as it's mechanical and could break down and all the plants would die. I would want something to set up and come back a week later and refill the tank with new...

    Can HP Aeroponics be achieved without the use of a pump?

    Thanks for the reply. To answer your question I would use a handheld Hydrostatic Test Pump. I was thinking once a week I could pump in nutrient solution and pressurize the tank to last a week.

    Which water pump?

    That's not a bad price considering how much the Iwaki pumps are going for. I don't see any electric plugs for these pumps, do I have to rig up a plug myself or does it come with 1? Is this pump submersible?. If I hook up this pump to a 1/2" PVC with 20 sprayers will I blow them out? Again...

    Which water pump?

    Just want to thank everyone for the suggestions. The reason why I'm asking I tried using a Petco 225 gph water pump I used last year on a small aero (4 sprayers) grow. It worked well on the small aero but now since I've gone larger (20 sprayers) the water comes out like droplets instead of a...

    Which water pump?

    I built an aero rail system. It will have a total of 20 micro sprayers. The regular aquarium water pumps just can't push out enough water to get the mist coming out of the sprayers. Can someone recommend a good water pump at a cheap price?

    Only the low fan leaves got burned on my second week of feeding them nutes. I haven't had any nute burn problems since. I have stuck with the FF feeding schedule and everything is looking sweeeeeeeet so far.

    Has Anyone Complained to a Seed Company about Duds?

    I had a lot of trouble germinating AK-48 and Master Kush seeds from Attitude. The response I got from them is the seeds are "NOT" supposed to be used for growing plants so that was money down the drain.

    I'm using a 600 watt light with a sealed air cooled reflector with build in 6 inch flanges. Would this duct fan work if attached to the flanges on the reflector? http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=185009-1061-DB206&lpage=none
