I believe that this is the part you're inquiring about. Reference Earl's "Aero Space Shuttle" thread. That's where I got all of my information.
Very sorry for the slight delay. My mother plant isnt quite big enough yet. In another 3 or 4 days I'll be ready to clip all nine clones and go.we are passed lift off>... is there still a pump delay? Can't wait to see this grow..best of luck
Here she is... I could only take 4 or 5 from her as is.
As far as the pump goes....I decided it was easier to move the holes a shade closer to the pot than spend another 125 on a big pump. I'll be doing that today.
We officially have liftoff. I cut clones this morning and away we go!
I'm spraying them continuously with 200 PPM of Sensi Grow A @ 73 degrees. PH is 5.8
When they root I'll switch the pump to 5 on and 30 off @ 66 degrees, 5.6 PH. I'll up it to 400 PPM as well. I'll veg them at 600 PPM max.
Room temp is 70 degrees and the humidity is high at 70%. I'll keep you guys posted!

Today is the first res change. I've been spraying the clones with 200PPM of sensi grow A set at 5.8ph and my chiller is set to 73*. This is the 6th day of spraying them with a cycle of 20 minutes on and 1 minute off. The clones are barely starting to root which is nice to see. I'm anxious to see what happens in the next 7 days.

Cool setup, I am still perfecting my aero setup too, after seeing earl tackle aeroponics I decided to try it out myself.
I've decided to add a parts list to this post. This can work as a guide for anyone wanting to test the waters. This should make it very easy for anyone wanting to duplicate this build. Many of you will have some of this stuff laying around. However, I'm no Handyman so I had to purchase almost everything. Besides, I want to do this(make an exact list) because I plan on building another matching unit someday.

Yea mine is pretty simple, its pretty much like a sprinkler system with 180 degree sprayer heads inside one tub (~4 gal) with small drainage holes evenly spaced in corners where water builds up. The roots are in this tub with the misters, which is inside of a 10 gal rubbermaid tub with the pump and water and tubing system for sprayer heads. The the pump runs on a timer. Its all done with 1/2" clear tubing and toro funny pipe adapters.
