That pretty much sums it up. I've taken 2 steps back & have settled on med pressure aero, with top feed as a redundancy. And dwc, when the roots drop past 30" or so. Results are insane. Hey pan, I've been subtly asking for my thread to be moved into the general hydro/aero section, to no avail. Being a mod, can you make that happen for me. This sub-forum has been pretty dead, and I didn't mean to post here.
Any member including myself who has the title of " Moderator " under their username has been demoted & stripped of access to staff forums & moderation tools , the New age mods have a white ribbon that says Staff Member under their username , when the site crashed here a few months back most mods were given the boot when the site came back online , if i still had access to my mod cp in hydroponics i'd help you out but im powerless to help .
Hpa has to many draw backs I also went 2 steps back and could not be happier. Thing to keep in mind is it's not about micron size it's about oxygen saturation in your spray.
Med pressure.
It's just a matter of droplet size, throw, & amount of time required to reach saturation.
NASA never ever did HPA why would they. They did do a micro grow about the size of a shoe box that's it and whole system fit in the little box. They weigh everything that goes in space down to the gram. Prove me wrong show me proof....it's a myth just like government made g13. Think about it zero gravity and spraying water with electronics.http://www.vox.com/2014/6/3/5772628/nasa-is-about-to-harvest-lettuce-on-the-international-space-station
Well ok they might not be doing it nasa themselves. But they do sponsor a company who's job it is to grow and study that style. http://www.agrihouse.com/ but in your defense the whole point of it is to feed astronauts for longer space travel trips. It's not built for massive growing plants mostly small potatoes and micro greens. But what would you need to see as proof that it's a truly effective growth style?
If I would have yes. But that's what I have you for. To tell people in your condescending way that your always right. But I'm sure you always are. So if you don't mind where did you get all your knowledge from in the matter? Did I just miss something on their page? Have you used aeroponics? You seem to be the encyclopedia of all negative things on aeroponics. So you must have used it in a run against a dwc or nft or drip and pulled numbers saying that aero's growth is far slower, the water usage is far worse for its final weighed outcome being far less while it's quality is far below other hydro options. I mean you have done that right? Because you seem to know a lot man.
