I haven't purchased my pump yet either. But I have decided to try the Aquatec 8800 because of it's reputation of quietness also. There is a 10 bucks price differance between it and the 6800 TB was talking about, but it has a higher pressure rating from what I have been able to find out from...

Hey TB, I have been reading your thread and I'm all caught up. I will probably be posting here if you don't care. Seems all the up to date information is coming from this thread now. Like you I have been collecting components. It will still probably be a little longer before I start a grow...

Thanks TB got the PM and found the other stuff. How loud is the flojet or have you tried it yet? I wrote reptile basics to get the specs on the pump psi rating for the aquatec 8800.

Also I would like to know what brand and model number if you have it of the pressure relief valve and pressure regulator, you say both are SS and I can't seem to find anything close to that.

Hey TB I'm shouting about the pump if it's not too late.

OK let's see if I have my small brain wrapped around this. Look at this: https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/268790-lucas-formula-recipe-scratch-really.html post number 4. The bottom part of this where it is showing the amounts to weigh in ounces is to make the 1:100 concetrate...

Are there an easier way to add the trace elements? I think it would be pretty hard to weigh less than .02 grams of some of this stuff.

Quick question: What size net pots should I use? Or are there something else I should consider using to suspend the plants in the pods?

What formula are you using to figure this?

Atomizer I found an old post of fatman that had ppm of different elements to mix your own nukes instead of buying them. How do I convert this into weight or some form that I can use this. Say for example: Nitrogen 80 ppm, the analysis of calcum nitrate is 15.5% Nitrogen (14.5% - Nitrate, 1% -...

Do you use canna with the recomended mixture (40ml to 10L, or do you have a custom mix with it? From a website: Recommended EC for Substra Vega A + B is 0.8 - 1.5 mS/cm (Part A plus Part B and assuming source water at 0.0 EC) What scale are they using? Water gift: 3 - 5 liter / m2 / day...

Sorry, I forgot you were floating around on an island, LOL. I wasn't aware that he used canna himself, that says a lot. If it is good enough for him, its good enough for me. Yea he seems to always have and willing to share great info. I respect his opinion very much. Thanks again for the info.

Thanks for sharing the receipe. Great find on the canna. Correct me if I'm wrong, I was reading up on the web site you linked but don't the plants need more nitrogen than anything else? Seems like I read that somewhere, but with so much BS out there it is probally wrong. But anyway that...

Thats great stuff TB. That was going to be one of my next questions. I have read some of Fatman's post and he usually mixed his own nukes and was going to send that info to Tree Farmer by PM. I would love to have that, but it seems both have fell off the planet so to speak. I don't know if...

I haven't seen a 12v pump I liked that is quiet. The Aquatec 8800 is 24v. And the timers are 12v. I got the smallest converter I could find. It won't run 24/7, will only run if power goes out, ac will power everything 24/7.

I got my nozzles today. Damn that's a small hole .016. I received my solenoids and timer a few days ago. I played around with the timer and I think I have everything figured out, only took me two days. I programmed it last night at 20 seconds delay and 2 seconds on and letting it cycle not...

I found this site that is actually cheeper: http://www.msj-gallery.com/servlet/the-104/Monofilament-Polyester-110-Silk/Detail 151 micron has a 0.006 opening. I can't see a root going through that.

I was looking for silk screen and found this: Multifilament Fabric, 10xx Mesh. It is the smallest mesh that is wide enough for me to use. Will this be ok to use? As always thanks for any and all help.

According to the web site 12-24 vdc, 24vac (12 to 24 VDC Permissible ripple: 20% max). I too am wanting to keep as much 12v as possible.

Yea I got the idea about the timer from fatman's post in the plug&play pods thread. It's there if I need it. I am planning to put the solenoid just as close as plumbing will allow. Solenoid - elbow - maybe one inch of pipe - 1/8 npt adapter - nozzle. That should heep run on to an absolute min...
