yeah I get that. the 305 ss mesh is $30 per yd and the 74 is $8 per yd. if someone was all, hey yeah that 70 something mesh works great, then just ten minutes online would save me alot of cash by switching to geiko.

Right on AJ! Ive ran pbp in low pressure aero and it was pretty good. I tried running my teas through sprinklers and it clogged the shit out of every single sprayer. that was after filtering the tea through bubbleman bubblebags first. that sucked haha shaking and shaking 40 gallons of tea...

the trick is to dump the first cup of distilled alcohol as the methanol evaporates off first :D hahah I love the mmj culture, you get to learn so much random shit. I was making moonshine for ethanol extractions and purifying bho as ethanol is more selective than butane and you can get out the...

I used 15mls of molasses per gallon as a carb and then a cup to two cups each of varying guanos depending on what stage growth you were in, but rarely did i add guanos as I already had my beds amended and this was used mostly as a beneficial bacterial tea. as much compost/castings as you wanna...

and i hate to clog the thread but I am a strong believer in organics, thats how i grew outdoors, I even developed a 50 gallon tea brewer cheap and easy enough to be made with readily available materials. I took that brewer design and actually taught sustainable farming techniques in kalimantan...

thanks for your concern on styrene, but as most plastics use styrene, by your definition all the growers using abs plastic flood tables and abs plastic reservoirs would all have cancer by now, not to mention the hundreds of other plastic containers with styrene. foamular and white board foam are...

I had an idea for the root block frames. sandwich two layers of the foamular with the screen in between, glued with spray foam. however, i will tension the silk screen by spreading it over the first layer of foam board and stapling it to plywood underneath. then glue and sandwich. when dry i...

trichy: thanks man yeah youre right about the pvc. I have 5 gallons of fiberglass epoxy resin, it would be easier to just frame some 1by lumber with the stainless staples and resin over, then stretch the silkscreen over, staple again with stainless staples and coat with epoxy again or 100%...

right on man! thanks :D yeah I was considering just getting some aluminum framed silk screens but unfortunately with my budget now I have to start with the low pressure aero, and recirculate, so aluminum is a no go for now (it becomes available to the plant at lower ph). im building the pods in...

Whats up TB and the rest of the aero junkies :D I thought/read somewhere that silk screen could be used to keep roots off the bottom of the chamber? any idea what mesh size? Im guessing the largest mesh size silk screen they sell for screening. great thread by the way!

No experience with AA or HPA (long time learner/planner/plotter) but to the guy wanting to run organics through his pipes and sprayers, that I do have much experience with. even when filtering my 50 gal tea brewer and sending it out to my field through pvc and pencil lead-sized-opening sprayers...
