Back to the op's question Hp growing is just far too complicated , way too expensive , way too touchy , too many components in the system , too dependant on 100% perfect system operation , most off all the plants are at risk of quick death if there is a system failure , most experienced hydroponic growers end up with their own customized style that eleminates problems , I myself run a modified system that incoporates flood & drain , DWC & HPA , this allows me to have a total pump failure or mister clogs with zero ill effects on the plants for 5 or 6 days , straight HPA is an over built & over complicated system for the benifits offered .
That pretty much sums it up. I've taken 2 steps back & have settled on med pressure aero, with top feed as a redundancy. And dwc, when the roots drop past 30" or so. Results are insane. Hey pan, I've been subtly asking for my thread to be moved into the general hydro/aero section, to no avail. Being a mod, can you make that happen for me. This sub-forum has been pretty dead, and I didn't mean to post here.
