well fatman that is 4 weeks veg 4 weeks flower but im going to show you a picture of what the first 4 weeks of veg and 2 weeksof flower looked like. now im not proud of this pic but i want peeps to learn so they dont have to go thru the same trail and error. i was using 2 sec 2min,2 sec 4min, 2...

here is some pics of HP aero roots for you guys. as you can see they are closing in on the misters. you dont get roots like this with LP aero.

i was thinking of these as they are only 25 inches tall(180gallon) and would drain completly under the silk screen fake bottoms. id just put them on wheels and insulate them. self supporting sidewalls also. about 20 cubic feet. could still get 6ft tree and 2 ft container so 8 ft ceiling...

i think you should keep it as big as possible to allow the most room. i actually think now that it would be better for me to have 6 nozzels in the chambers but with half the flow as these. the reason being the roots have crawled right up the vertical walls of the smooth sink walls and have...

i dont know yet if the finishing times will be quicker. i usually let things go a little longer than is probably necessary because i only do one or two runs a year. i can say that from my LP days there is no way these chambers would have filled up. LP roots go to the bottom and there they just...

thats funny you mention furnace blowers. back in the day thats all i use to use. id go around to heating companies and ask them to save there old blowers from furnace upgrades they were doing. id give 20 bucks for them and they were happy and i was happy not having to spend 200-300 hundred on an...

your pump has a transformer to take regular 120 volt AC and convert it to whatever power the pump uses. you need the transformer to power the pump. you have to take a 120 volt AC regular current line and run it to the line inputs on the pressure switch (should be marked L1 and L2 on pressure...

well i got my backup 12vdc pump and replacement solenoid. now alls i need to do is get the pump mounted with the battery and smart charger and i should be ready for a power outage if it should happen.

you need to have a pressure gauge in the system. then when you turn on the pump you will be able to adjust the pressure switch by watching the gauge. a good idea also is to have a bypass valve before the solinoid so that you can release the flow in the system back to the res without having to...

half inch from pump to acc. tank and half inch thru solenoid to distribution manifold then to 4 1/4 inch lines. one1/4 inch to each pod.

travish i would think that 4 of the .25 orifice bio nozzels would work fine in there. or maybe 6to 8 of the .16 orifice nozzels to get more even spread if you have lots of small girls in there. you need to be able to get 1 to 2 sec pulses though to make sure you have the ability to not over wet...

i think that testing is the only way to get an acurate idea of what mist cycle you will need. one big mistake i made at first was go with a mist cycle that i had read the atomix was on. every chambers misting cycle will be different depending on the size and placement of the nozzels. also pump...

i would defineatly go with gravity feed or even better yet pressure fed. even though pressure fed adds a little more complexity i think the option of increasing or decreasing the pressure to get just the right droplet size makes up for it. of coarse you can vary the pressure by alittle by the...

well i got the above ground res installed . the pump works so much nicer now. the gauge just moves rapidly now up to 97psi where the pressure switch is set for. no more worrying if it will lose its prime inbetween long off cycles now. somewhat undeceided as to what to go with for a drain to...

no ac, no dehumid, no co2. 50 wpsf. i would like to run co2 and ac and dehumid but at this time its not possible. humid stays around 35% lighton ,55% lights off. temp 75 lighton 67lightsoff. i dont think id feel comfortable at those res temps. of coarse you have much more control over enviro...

yea i agree but i have tried 1 sec and because of the tubing from the manifold to the pods there isnt enough time to get mist to the pods. what im going to do to get around that is im going to install the .04 oz per sec nozzels so that i will get half the flow but still get the mist. it will...

try 16 deg this morning.i bought a stainless steel res heater and installed it. it only took around 8 minutes to warm from 63 where it was to 67 the lowest possible setting on the heater. i was impressed. im only running 15 gal res now and changing out every 5 days. Well curiousity got the...

Atomizer you know i never even thought about the solenoid until you said that. i was just thinking the battery would work for the pump because ive did it before. but on that app i was cycling the pump with the timer(no accumulator tank) Stg does carry the same valve with the 12 volt so im going...

travis you are welcome to use any info you can. if using sinks even though they drain i would incorperate a 1 inch lift on the side oppisite the drain to speed up the drainage process. as ive found that by lifting my oppisite side they drain much better or you could lift the roots off the...

that is pretty well dead on. im at 2 sec every 6 minutes. and i figured they were seeing around 5 gal a day. they lap up 2-3 of that aday. im doing 2 sec every 10 min lights out as iv noticed they only drink half as much water at night. iv noticed even at 10 min off the root mass still stays...
