Right on AJ! Ive ran pbp in low pressure aero and it was pretty good. I tried running my teas through sprinklers and it clogged the shit out of every single sprayer. that was after filtering the tea through bubbleman bubblebags first. that sucked haha shaking and shaking 40 gallons of tea through the bags. then a day later all my lines and sprayers were clogged with bio film, my wye inline filters clogged and yeah almost burnt out my pumps, it was a stupid mistake but worth trying lol. changed the water out, ran some dutch master zone (which really smells like bleach) and that killed the film.

I havent ran hp aero yet but I could imagine anything with life in it would be a disaster on those sprayers.

so yeah I brain farted on my net pot placement in the last pics of the pods i posted, but what do you guys think as far as hp nozzle placement on these? the cubic inches of the chamber is 46,464 (about 32 cubic ft) five plants per pod like so:

when i convert these to hp, it will be drain to waste.

the center plant is throwing me off for where to place the nozzles, if i place them on the sides of the box, it might be impossible to not blast that plant head on with mist. ofcourse I could place them in the lid and have them shoot to the bottom. I would like to get these plants to 3' tall. ah anyways i cant find where i saw the misters per cf breakdown.

Whats up TB and the rest of the aero junkies :D

I thought/read somewhere that silk screen could be used to keep roots off the bottom of the chamber? any idea what mesh size? Im guessing the largest mesh size silk screen they sell for screening.

great thread by the way!
Uh, seems you would want the smaller mesh. After all the goal is to keep the roots off the bottom according to your statement.

yeah I get that. the 305 ss mesh is $30 per yd and the 74 is $8 per yd. if someone was all, hey yeah that 70 something mesh works great, then just ten minutes online would save me alot of cash by switching to geiko.
