Atomizer pointed out to me in the past the chest freezer idea, especially if retrofitted with a warmer range thermostat controller to keep the chamber the correct temp zone for roots. You can pretty much make a chamber out of anything, wooden box with a pondliner, etc... I also don't believe...

Nice- an indoor kiddie pool that makes sure they still get a tan ;) Kidding of course, you care to explain more what the plans are? Looks interesting for sure.

Quite true... I think if I ever were to have the perfect setup that I couldn't think of a way to improve, then I would get sad. I love how this type of growing keeps me constantly dreaming of better ways to try. Fortunately for me I still haven't even gotten completely over my heat issues...

From the pictures the Aerolife founder showed me, the little compressor can and will grow plants. The noise is enough to deter most people I'd assume, expecially that it must come on every mist cycle. I was using 30 psi, but am now playing in the 60 psi range. I still am not getting results...

Not sure exactly how you mean this, but the couple people here who've really set the groundwork I've found to have given me excellent advice. So far everything they've said and taught me has proven to be pretty much spot on. Anytime I've deviated from their advice I have gotten the less than...

Makes sense as you'll have to make up for the pressure ramp up phase. Based on your trials, I am really confirmed in my thinking that hpa and getting consistent roothairs is near impossible without an accumulator- I mean you have really tried everything, would you agree? Luckily it's brought...

Not sure what u mean, got a link? Surely you don't mean the organic thread boys are slammin' their stuff ;)

I think the idea is that shorter cycles are most beneficial as you have a constant environment conducive of growth and optimal oxygenation to the roots simultaneously. In less than perfect situations you can increase the pause times to make up for too wet conditions but it's not ideal. The...

Aleady been there before. After seeing others results and trying them for a short amount of time myself I feel the bios are definitely better. What seems to happen with the tefen/cloudtops/dig nozzles is that although the spray looks good initially- it doesn't have as much coverage or throw...

Seriously... They work with Nasa, and we all know the extreme tolerances things are subject to being judged before going into space. Guess Richard really is a stoner- lol... Then again, look at the o-rings on the Challenger, or the spherical abberation on the Hubble. No matter how rigorous...

Agree on the bios being best- but also having alot of duds. For what it's worth you can mail the duds back and they tell me they will replace them.

Hey Ester, it is actually a new cutting as my original cuttings became sickly as I was testing. This one has a bad case of powdery mildew and it's hard to differentiate it's effects from the rest. I agree the e/c is low, but I was mainly focusing on what gets decent roots this round. I am...

It's just some natural air layering I guess. I have also seen it before when the stems get enough humidity or moisture. I've even read some scientific horticultural documents mentioning you can even get a leaf to root given the right circumstances. Nice thick stalks btw... :)

Okay, so I have been dilligently playing with settings and times. I have added some strips of closed cell adhesive foam (like the kind to insulate around a door) around the lid to attempt to ensure no fresh air is coming in to dry the roots from the lid. In the following pic you can see that...

Nice man! Violent FIMs! :D

Hey Ralph- I'm glad to hear things are working out. When I didn't see you for a while I was hoping you were getting stuff sorted. I'm also working on my own new setup- went to the hardware stores yesterday for inspiration and got back home just as unsure of my angle of approach as I left in...

Looks like you might have transplanted from soil. While you can get this to work, I personally found it's hard to get the roots to adapt to the big change very easily...

Well, this is still a relatively new and unpaved way to grow, so the more of us there are, the more we all learn from eachother- whether a new idea that works, or one not to attempt again in the future. I am certain there is still alot of room for improvement and gains in knowledge on the...

Hi Seed55, thanks for the comments and your interest. Sorry I was slow to welcome you but I've been going through some personal stuff lately. I do not have any opinions on your chamber other than my general thoughts are that a single large chamber with multiple plants may be better than a...

Not that it matters, on top of being off topic, but I am just curious what you're smoking that you think a waterfall of nutes can be classified as "high pressure aero"- please share hehe :D EDIT: maybe you meant "some would argue it is hpa, just sans accumulator and high pressure"? :D
