Im so excited to see a step by step = )
i didnt take pics last time i built this system but i will be taking pics as i build the system this time.
you listed some good reasons for HP aero but one you never mentioned is they are expensive to setup but once setup are the cheapest system to run. that goes for nutes, ro water used, and electricity. and very litlte chance of a failure is you use quality parts and set it up properly. yes my new system will be near silent. all you will hear for 4 days is the pssst of the misters firing.
i was considering setting up a tree grow with TAG. You mention you will be using 125-150 gallon chambers??? could you elaborate a bit on that, is that for 1 plant ?
was thinking of a chamber like this
27 gallon, do you think could support a tree?
How many misters per tree do you use?
thx, nice looking setup
Tree farmer. Excellent set up man. Gonna have to go to RUI and check out your thread there.
What about a Combo of Fog and HP mist???? Or would the Fog not be necessary with the HP set up?
I am looking into doing a 20gal Bucket Flood and Drain with Fog( maybe LP aero, but I have the controller parts for Flood and Drain already). Can't afford to run an HP system yet.
Did you have a noticeable difference in your hp run over your past lp runs? JK
I would think you would need to have layers the screen. I roots would go thru one screen in a heartbeat.
I wish I had been able to quiet my system enough as I liked the growth. With running the amount of light needed I gave up on worrying about power consumption.
Hope you get the chance to get where you feel it's done. JK
from my understanding of aero roots fog gives to small of a droplet size which causes an excess of overly fine root hairs and doesnt result in overall yield gains. if you look into peoples grows who have tried using fog only they have run into problems.
a good nozzle will have a wide array of droplet sizes from as low as 5 micron up to 80 micron. research has indicated that plants seem to respond best with most of the droplets in the 30-80 micron range and 50 micron being the ideal rangeto have the largest percentage of droplets at. fog is usually all under 15 microns so its not nessecary imo. Hp can be run on its own without the addition of fog.
lp aero in a 20 gallon container can grow some large plants. if you are doing flood and drain i dont think the fog will enhance the yield much if any. id say just do the flood and drain and you should get some decent returns and save some added expense that the fog would add.
the thread at riu has been closed. it turned into chaos so it was closed.
