PW's First Attempt At Aeroponics & PS1000 LED

[BedroomFarmer]

As I said I'm going off the 1 video I saw. I feel I've touched a nerve so I'll just sit back in the corner of my quiet room and watch. I will say the couple of photos I've seen of PWs plants in this thread, the roots look pretty on par to mine at same size.

Hey man I haven't been touched. Not yet at least lol. The what more you asking for is from a tv show. Sorry it didn't translate well. I'll sit in the corner myself but I promise I ment no harm.

Beautiful pw!

 

[blacklabrador]

[IJ Budz]

No you didnt hit any nerves Tunkers, i value all input from everyone. Im just saying this seems to be working for me but is by no means the only game in town. Theres many different ways to skin a cat. Lol

I think from the input of positive comments I was reading I was expecting them to be like a high pressure mist especially using an airpump..

 

[Pennywise]

Ive never really looked into other aero systems so cant really compare them. When i watch the dewey without the net pot i see droplets of all sizes. BF was right when he said its almost a hybrid aero/dwc type setup.

 

[Tunkers]

True "aeroponics" is high pressure we're doing low pressure dwc hybrid yes. I've seen some awesome air powered foggers in the aero section that would make my plants cry lol

How are the roots looking now anyway?

 

[Tunkers]

Venturi mister

 

[Pennywise]

Ill get pics here in a few. Im just excited, my last grow was my best so far and that was top fed rockwool. These babies i have now are blowing the rockwool girls away. .

Looks awesome, my only concern would be clogging.

Ok here is a root shot of the Skunk #1

The entire reason I haven't spent money on going high pressure. Lots of clogging to consider. Imagine the root mass from that fog though...

Looks great. Did you say if you had the mister on a timer?

 

[Pennywise]

I was picturing that while watching the vid, would be sweet for a big SOG type grow.

 

[jarhead8795]

I want to know what happens when the roots get very large. do they sit at the bottom of the bucket? how does it affect the operation of the mister at that point.

I'm picturing a cotton candy type look haha light, fluffy white clouds of rooooots

 

[Pennywise]

Not on a timer yet but i do plan on trying a timer soon, i wanted to let the roots hit the water at the bottom of the bucket first. I would need to add an airstone for the down time id think.

Yeah definitely. At least your mister is keeping that res aerated for sure

Remains to be seen but i see the spray penetrating the root mass. Also youll have roots wicking water up. My biggest concern is keeping enough water in the bucket. Theres only about 1 1/2 gallons in the bottom of the bucket. May need to rig up a recirc system to keep water lvl up.
