Hello dstroy,very nice setup btw. just something I don't understand. You feed your plants the same amount of ppm from start to finish and they don't burn in the beggining grow stage. I was thinking when you grow a plant you progressively raise your nutrients concentration and someone say to me that in hpa the nutrient concentration can be pretty low comparatively to other grow method.Can you explain me how you can stay with the same ppm from start to finish? Thanks for your answer.

Same deal, only thing that changed is I “upgraded” (more of a side-grade) to cdp 8852 and I have a 1/2” pickup that splits to 3/8” pump input. All my plumbing push connect fittings and tubing are atp or John guest.

4x4
560w Cree cxb3590 3500k
44 gal res
High pressure aeroponics
Greenleaf Mega crop @ 1.6EC all the way through first set of leaves to harvest
0.6ml/gal Mammoth p at change
50ml Emerald harvest cal mag at change if necessary

The res gets changed when the top off water equals half the volume of a fresh res or if the EC drops below 1.2, I only add back at 1/8 strength.

My reservoir is always kept at
5.7-5.9pH @ 68-70f and 1.2-1.6EC

Here’s most of the equipment:

Still in veg, just finished getting the new flower tent setup. I’ll be moving them in there and getting the net in tomorrow.

Yeah sure, I feed 1.2-1.6EC 600-800ppm of megacrop from the time they’re put into the system until harvest. I turn the lights down when they’re little and progressively ramp them up, I also keep the humidity at 60% until they can transpire enough to raise the humidity on their own.

ok and for your nozzles do you use any sort of filter because this type of nozzle clog after 1 month? Do you try with hps I know its hot but I think you can gain extra weight in your buds. Leds are too overrated. real led worth 2000-3000$.

Yes, I filter to 1 micron. No, I don't want to use HPS, I have 560w of cxb3590 and 500w cmh in one tent, 1060w of light isn't enough? :) I think you don't know what you're doing.

ok I will check for this thanks;) and more I think more I have other question:eek: like how many nozzles per container, do you have a good temperature in your 5 gallons, they said 21' but just a small layer of bubblewrap foil is enough:roll:? I know you know a lot about this subject this is why I ask you this questions. I would like to see you on youtube for a diy of your set up L:D:D:DL!

I can’t, it’s a 10” canister filter housing with a 1 micron pvc sediment filter.
