Thanks man, I try :-) I'll definately monitor the humidity level in the buckes when I start dialing in the times... I agree it would be a crying shame to just have NFT. Likewise with the nutes... I've picked up a good Ec meter off ebay, just need to get a probe now... I always start low and...

No... This is going to be my first one... Flood and drain and DWC systems before. Been admiring your crops man... Very nice work. I like the gavita bulbs too... Been thinking about those ever since I George C. mentioned that they were the most efficient reflector he had ever seen. Inexpensive...

I was thinking of making the nozzle bars rotate... At least when the design still called for them to go down the center of the containers... Would be pretty simple to do with a big RC servo or something... Now moving a single nozzle would be something else... Though still very doable. I have a...

I'm pretty curious to see how that will work myself :-) I've got some nice keyence digital pressure gauges which should let me monitor differental pressure between the head end and the end of each spray bar... Ultimately I'll be feeding them into the grow controller... But it's coming down to...

Yeh seriously... You gotta' post some pics man... Sounds killer!

Nah... I enjoy a challenge... I get depressed when there is nothing for me to put my mind to... Plus... You know tree framer set the bar pretty high :-) I remember reading that long ass thread on TAG by podracer... And I got to the page where he said that it was no longer necessary to fool...

Just saw this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Worlds_greenest_water_pump/ It makes one hell of a racket... And I guess only 27 psi, but the guy claims it was pumping some 700FT up hill... Just thought it was sort of neat. T.M.H.

The ones I have a super sweet outside... Machined SS... But it's good to know the process valves are a bit rough around the edges. My harbor freight pump was kind of like that... It's amazing what a coat of gloss black paint will do though :-) I'm holding off on new pics cuz' I'm so close to...

*sigh* As soon as you find the ears on the plant, let me know :-S Honestly I shouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole... But I've never really had good judgment :-P I have seen study's that indicated benefits to it... I would conjecture that if there is any real scientific truth to it, then it...

It's really not... You would be much better off going with something from Hanna... The pens are quite inexpensive... But even they are not that good... I'm sure quite a few people will be happy to argue this with me... But it's the truth... However anything is probably going to be more helpful...

Don't know if that's a mistype or not... Cuz' there is a TVC valve company apparently :-S But I really did mean STC... I can't really speak to reliability or anything just yet... But the overall quality on the ones I got seems to be very high. Check out pics in my thread if you want some idea...

Water powered pumps are pretty common guys... I've seen them mostly in smaller sizes for lab work and that sort of thing... But honestly... It's just wasteful... Even if your water is free you'll be running so much to get the sort of pressure you need you probably won't be able to take a decent...

Well... I've been hanging drywall and doing other menial preparatory tasks for the last week or so... Repainted the pump and stuff gloss black... Not that there was anything wrong with euro blue/orange... But with everything else coming out black and silver it just clashed a bit to much... Am I...

Awwwwwwwwwwww... So little :-) My good bud back in CA just started some black pearl too... I'm excited to see how you guys do.

Nice! I'd like to know more about the PLC... I'm setting up something similar but had planed to run it with an Atmel dev board and some I/O accessories that I picked up from an outfit called Futurlec http://www.futurlec.com/Boards.shtml I'm currently using the Atmel 128 controler board pictured...

I do have a tendency to get caught up in a project ;-) I had not intended to make these quite as complex as they turned out... But once I got a simple version done I just didn't feel they were very stable... The buckets wanted to slip around... And only 3 sets of legs made the whole thing a...

So I spent waaaaaaay to much time making this stand... And it's still not quite done -- but I have a feeling it will be pressed into service anyway... Just don't feel like spending $6 for each and every pipe cap... I mean really... What's the deal... Ever other 3" pipe fitting costs a few...

Took a look last night... Doesn't seem to have a binary available... Which is a shame... But I'll keep my eye on the project for sure. Good luck with yours too... I've been fooling around in AFX with the thought that I might make a web based front end for the control system. Maybe even...

This is sweet man... I kind of like the tops of the fence posts there... Makes it all look rather Gothic :-) How are the Adjust-A-Wings working out? I know George Cervantes speaks very highly of them... But I really wanted something sealed and vented so I went with Hydrofarm II's myself...

Thanks man! You know you really need a good avatar :-) Might I suggest:
