    Anyone Have an Opinion on Hygrozyme?

    Agreed. I used a bottle, ran out and nothing changed.

    Water timing for aeroponics?

    I've heard at least one claim of those things going tits up. Not nearly as bad as the cap timers though. Should hold you over for awhile. They do make a 3 prong as well, btw... Actually, the one I was thinking of was very similar, but green. They make a 3 prong. Not sure about this company?

    Water timing for aeroponics?

    Nice call. Those of us in the hp aero world are very familiar cavadge's journey. As well as anything else that can be dug up on the net. For me it all started with the atomix, and scavenging any bit of info on that system. The system I've put together is, in my opinion, going to mimic that as...

    Water timing for aeroponics?

    I'm not that familiar with the stinkbud system. Is it a combo of nft/aero? I would be a bit concerned about 45 min off time. Roots could very easily dry out in that amount of time. But again, I'm not that familiar with the system. You ideally want to wet the roots, and then let them have a dry...

    Water timing for aeroponics?

    It's all good. I can attest to 15 on/off times. They actually worked quite well in my old system. I'm off to greener pastures now. Here's a couple of pics from that grow...

    Water timing for aeroponics?

    Totalnewb builds his own 555 timers. That's cool. But to assume that anyone who can't do so is an idiot... Not so cool. You can run 15 on, 15 off. It's not ideal, but it'll work. I recommend the 422 flip flop timer. It is $100, but will last the test of time, and can be adjusted to...

    Ph/ppm/ec/tds.....wtf/smh/lol

    Apparently I'm a cheap bastard as well. Got the same two pens. This seems to be a pretty popular meter around here... http://goodhydro.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=134 Though I don't know if this is the best price, as I am not ersonally buying one, didn't shop around.

    True HP Aero For 2011

    Ok, so to touch on this, and your other statement in another thread... Use whatever pump you want, so long as it creates enough pressure to atomize solution to the 50-80 micron level. One minute on time is waaaay too long to achieve root hairs. Droplets will form destroying them immediatly. So...

    High-pressure (aka "true") aeroponics - nutrient schedule?

    Short answer. No, the aerojet doesn't come close to true aero, despite their claims. You could build that system for less than $200. The setup you describe sounds like it has way more PRV's than necessary. One PRV per system is all you need. You could build a true HP aero machine for less than...

    Hydro Trouble

    Same thing happened to me, lost about 50% of my fan leaves. Plants were super big & healthy, and recovered pretty damn fast. I probably would've yielded more without that little mishap, but they finished strong. I wouldn't give up on em until you've given them a chance to recover. If it doesn't...

    Spinner Hydro?

    80 X 6" plants. Seems a whole lot easier to grow a couple trees, and be done.

    Spinner Hydro?

    I think that some people are more venerable to shady sales promises than others. And, don't have knowhow to build shit themselves. I wouldn't have paid $500 for that flimsy looking POS.

    Trying True Aeroponics/ High Pressure Aero

    Sounds to me like a spokesman for growcults atomizing dremel. Thanks, but no thanks. : )

    Fan Leaf Cutting

    Agreed, but if you really want info on the subject, you're gonna have to learn to use a search, and read the countless threads posted on this very site. People are likely very tired of debating a question that has been covered so many times. :-)

    Quantitative Airstone Test. an end to the hype

    I can't really bitch, I only run one MH & one HPS. They treat me well, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious as to how a $20 sylvania sized up.

    Quantitative Airstone Test. an end to the hype

    Damn, I opened this thread this morning when there were only like 2 posts. Great test as far as I'm concerned. This shit is spensive enough already. Please someone talk me out of hortilux bulbs, lol.

    True HP Aero For 2011

    Would it be too much to inquire about pump, nozzles, timing, etc...? Those are some of the best looking roots I've seen. I think I can speak for many, in that we must know more about your setup. Thanks.
