ahh.. i didnt realise you were using posts.
I`d be tempted to reduce the number of solenoids to one per post as the cost outweighs the benefits with the limited space. The main problem will be mist hitting the opposite wall and converting back into liquid before it gets a chance to spread out, 5" isnt very far.
It depends on the pattern and throw distance of the nozzles but usually the bigger the better. One large chamber is better than a lot of small ones.
Just ordered two, thanks............maybe I'll see if I can use those carbon filters as a pseudo RO system, because I'm going to be using a lot of water and would hate to waste that much RO wastewater down the drain.
EDIT: So John, since I'm planning on running from 100-125PSI, I would just need to precharge the tank to 98PSI, correct? And that's a one time thing, and can be done before anything else is hooked up, correct?
Asking because I'd rather just take it to a gas station (a petrol station, as you'd call it) and fill it up there with a mechanical air pump (which obviously also has a pressure gauge on it).
Probably cost $.75 vs. finding a pump and air pressure gauge.
Yeah, three seconds is way too long.
So JG, just to double-check before I do it - since I'm planning on running from 100-125PSI, I want to precharge my expansion tank (the air part) to 98PSI, correct?
And Jk in earlier posts u were saying with Hp system hardest part is the root growth being so fast and so much what are you and anyone else who wants to add..using as root chambers? Seen the 5 gal pals seem to fill rite up. Anyone doing any crazy PVC customs? Just wondering what's good what's not. I'm thinking a PVC would be nice but thinking it has to be big, thanks guys the more I know less I can f-up or at least not as bad
My sys is like a Morgan,while the HP is like a racehorse. Mine is low maintenance,misters rarely clog, I can get to and treat my root system. 36 gal is a med size tank but huge for hp allowing me more root space. JK
Edit:That and I only know 2 who have stayed with HP that long.
Hi Bobby
Very fair response and answer. One big big problem, however, is in real world practice, DWC/RDWC produces the most impressive buds by far that I have seen.
There is a thread on another cannabis site, I wont post it due to respect for this forum, but the thread title is "Heaths latest tree grow" ... by Heath Robinson.
Heath uses no chillers, no air pumps, and aerates his water completely by just water movement and a spray type feeder, and his plant literally is breaking apart with buds and he got nearly 3 lbs off 1 plant if i remember!
I know aero on paper sounds good, however I'm struggling to remember seeing a really impressive aeroponics grow. As far as saving water, thats fine but water is low cost so not a huge issue. Nutrient savings can save some cost, which is good, and D2W is really my favorite reason for getting into aeroponics (yes, I am doing an aero setup now), however I feel like a lot of the reasons people use aeroponics is just to site some NASA study, or to show off root pictures. Most of us are here for maximum BUD yield, and for that I've been really impressed with RDWC pumping out some major performers.
Anyways, I am still planning to use aero, however I think there has to be some impressive aero grows before it can start living up to its name more.
Hey BobS, the filters are no use on ro waste water, which was prefiltered using carbon. all that carbon does has been done. Nice to see you rockin it to the next level.
