A couple of things I thought of while cutting the grass:
1). I didn't have a pressure regulator, and that would've been more precise (my pressure fluctuated from 100-125 psi, which frankly was decent enough for me). Keeping it at a set 100psi would've been more precise, although the point at which you're worrying about that is beyond anyone's setup I've seen online (save for The Big Two, obviously).
2). I feel like I get as good if not better growth in coco because I lacked the ingenuity/desire to find a way to keep my pod cool when running my room in the mid to high 80s (I enrich with CO2 at 1500ppms), so I had to keep my room in the mid 70s to keep my root zone cool, which slowed down my growth and rendered my Co2 much less efficient.
Yes, my structure is obviously not designed for HP aero, and Atomizer told me as such; that being said, I ran four plants in 64 gallon trash cans and they worked great. I honestly don't see all the trouble people are having here..........TF and Cavadge laid out blueprints for how to build a control center, so then it just becomes a matter of picking out a proper root zone container and throwing some misters in that bitch.
To your point (and mine in Pet's thread before he deleted the posts he specifically asked me to make, go figure), there are no shortcuts, and by trying to save money and do it cheaply, people are making things harder than it needs to be.
Whereas I find it commendable that there are so many new growers who want to start in HP aero, I can't say I think that's the right move - trying to find out what makes a plant tick while also trying to dial in the most finicky setup in the world is not the best combination, IMO.
Sorry if that sounds pessimistic, it's just the way I feel - that being said, best of luck to all you guys and I hope to learn a thing or two from the next TF
