Tree Farmer, air assisted does look awesome from the Atomix videos, too bad those nozzles are so expensive, though in the future an upgrade might be in order. On that same note it acquires to me if you go air assisted which I think John Guest mentioned a few times, it would do well to do his hydrostatic pump set up as now you've got a number of extra solenoids and pumps. Honestly if I had the $300 to spend on that pump his route was the safest for peace of mind.
And perhaps the limiting factor with growing "Trees" w/ aeroponics is the lack of beneficial microbes, without them producing hormones and other compounds, I do not believe the plant can achieve the absorption ration needed to achieve peak growth.
This is certainly worthy of experimentation, and as for anyone wanting to build a system, the main issue seems to be sourcing pieces for the interconnections, but here is a basic run down
reservoir -> filter -> demand pump -> differental pressure switch w/ gauge for reading -> accumulator tank -> pressure relief valve w/ gauge for reading w/ hose redirected back to reservoir -> Y splitter for misting lines or solenoid(s) -> solenoid(s) or Y splitter then lines -> lines to elbows, tees, straights, w/ misters.
That's the basic rundown, I'm stuck with finding a pressure gauge inline for the pressure switch, and a pressure relief valve and gauge, other than that, my entire system is pretty much diagrammed, once completed if Tree doesn't mind, I'll post it somewhere and he can re-direct people asking questions at that point.
You had a great yield man, you probably used too much nutrient, they recommend using 1/4th your regular dosage. If it wasn't that then it's just playing with what the strain wants.
Thanks for that idea for a root scrog, maybe that would help them grow larger since they would have the equivalent of a canopy for the roots, then you could have sprayers under, and over, hmm interesting concept. Thanks for the read buddy keep up the good work.
