Aeroponic Space Shuttle

it's official. I am definitely a failure. I don't know why I am posting this message in this forum, since I pretty much have no proof that anyone here is something other than an advertiser, lol.
I just finished writing the last letter I will ever write.
my time on earth is done.
I have learned that absolutely EVERYTHING I have ever tried to do, including growing one goddamned plant, then another, then another, then another, following about three month's research precisely, has failed.
Therefore, I am a failure.
My "aero" setup consists of a 1" tube running from the exhaust of my car into the car's window, and I sit here with my laptop.
There is nobody to say goodbye to, so I'll say goodbye to all of you advertisers.
Have a good time frying your brains and successfully growing your beautiful plants.
some people were never meant to be born.
goodbye.

Take it easy. Don't do anything silly. Go to the doc and get some Zoloft. it will take the edge off.

Earl, your space shuttle is just the best thing I ever saw.

To bad I have not visited this thread before I developed my design.

I have just finished assembling the lower part and this week I am planning on getting the upper part with the pots where I will position the plants.

I guess I will have to include a second sprayer set, as I see your get two sprayers for each plant, one on each side of the holes on the 6 inch tube. As I am using buckets instead of the tube I`ll try two sprayers an considering using airstone on the botton of each bucket.

Here is a picture of my setup, the brown bucket will work as the main reservoir where the pump is located and the plants will be located in the other 10 buckets.

I have grown during college some 10 years ago but I used soil instead of hydroponics, which is cheaper. Now I get the funds to invest in Hydro and after some research I believe it will work.

If you could send some advice after looking at the photo, I will be very thankful! You sure are a guru of growers!

I must add that after looking at your space shuttle I will add a RO rez as it seems as a great feature to automate water reposition to the system, using the simple float valve system... So I will go after a small one that fits my small tank, or maybe change to a better tank. I will also invest on insulating the buckets, another great insight from your long thread.

Congrats for the system, the thread and the great harvests, learning a lot from you! Tks!

great setup, although over complicated with selection of parts....

No need for float valve( simply top off res yourself once a week

also sprayer method can be from within using PVC pipes an ez clone sprayers are better.

no need for chiller as long as room is 69 degrees. Use timer for pump 15 on 15 off.

thats how i would do it. DONE
