So good to see an old kind face, boy you have been a long time friend GP. Hopefully we can hang out here some and get back into the pool. Always enjoyed you being on my threads, hook me up with yours if you launch any. Gonna do an Aero setup TAG style here shortly, just waiting for materials to arrive.

So great to see ya, excellent to reunite with such quality people. :yes: You are the man.

Meanwhile check out my first ever soil grow and first ever seed I made...not bad eh? lol










Such a pretty girl. I love here to pieces. lol

Wow Pod!

what is your school background, you really impress me with the research you've made.

Plus you share it, wow something scientific domain should do more often!

LOL - Public School system - College drop out for awhile, then a degree in Art History. Wouldn't be anything you'd think would it? Just shows you what a liberal Arts degree can get ya if you put your mind to it.
Honestly though I've always just been one of those guys that has to understand how shit works down to the nth degree. It’s like a giant puzzle and the more I learn the more pieces fall into place. Recently the last pieces fell into place finally and its now easy for me to solve most problems just by looking at them. If I don't understand almost immediate what the conflict is and how to resolve it, I can see how to find the answer and where to look usually. As this is always a huge surprise or revelation to me I think (sometimes erroneously) that others would find it as interesting or fascinating. Some do some don't, some get it, some don't.
I feel my only job left in this universe is to enlighten and expose the truth AND the lies. That is all. Not a soldier, not a fighter, just a truthsayer, as that is the effect of the truthsayer's drug on my consciousness.
In olden days I would probably be an oracle or magi I suppose, I can usually only see and speak in metaphor or analogy. Hence sometimes the information I'm attempting to impart is lost in the parable or lesson I'm attempting to share. Sort of teach a man to fish sort of ethic. I believe nothing can harm those seeking the truth as long as they remain faithful to it and don't try to corrupt or bend it. As it is apparent to everyone else that can see clearly.

Everyone has the same abilities I have; they just don't use them or practice them. Which is why I don't feel arrogant, I just feel most people are just lazy. And sloth is a sin, as is wiling ignorance in my belief. However, some are seeking and if I can aid them in finding the truth or a path towards enlightenment then I've earned my karma for that moment in time. I have been very fortunate to have been able to learn a great many things and experience a great many lives here, I have no need to be selfish for I know what I sow will be returned to me ten fold at the least - and already has. I would feel selfish and arrogant not to attempt to give back to this community, a community that despite its failing members remains committed to the truthsayer's drug and what I would claim the sacred burning bush of divine enlightenment, because it sure has enlightened my ass to a level that only a divine source could.
It is time now for us to return to the purpose for which we where allowed to exist here and I'm happy to see that we were a success and that science is a religion itself. I am an artist, a creator, not scientist, so my understanding must come through creative means and muse - that is spiritual visualization and enlightenment via interpretation. Hopefully I will be able to share a lot more over the years - However those speaking the truth are often crucified, I hope never to be in that position again.
Now on to TAG education for the world. I am going to build it, may they all come.

That is what, after all, gets me into such trouble here. I cannot teach without parable, as I believe the balance of power is the cornerstone of understanding, and to not understand fully is to possess 'gossip' or a 'half-truth' and we see everyday what happens with gossip and half-truths don't we? :sasmokin: So just giving people a fish for the day is a fruitless gesture and to horde my own enlightenment and education would be self centered and narcissistic. I have all I could ever want, therefore I can give freely as freely comes the gifts to me now in reciprocation of my genuine passion to nurture those that want to grow in the light and understand what it is all about. Those who desire to just get fucked up don't interest me, as their corruption will be an end unto itself. Ours is a balance of power, most handle it poorly. Learning to breath life into another form - teaches one benevolence I believe—and compassion.

But that just might be me. :pointlaug

I was thinking about it today, maybe you could use the ionizer I showed you on another post and put it so your roots could get the same treatment as the foliar feed with electrostatic spray.

I've got a question about TAG! when you say 100psi is the goal to deliver the nuts, is it because at that pressure the size of the nuts are much smaller or is their any other theory behind this? Would that problem be solve by using fogging mister?

Do you have any reference on how much a plant would eat in nutes per day in a TAG?

I was also thinking that you may want to aerate the root zone by forcing air in the root area, wouldn't that help giving more air to the plants? just like a turbo would do on a car!

another thing I saw that you wrote something on open stomata, do you have anything on this? I mean electromagnetic field vs stomata? I have some class that talks about electromagnetic waves, I'm doing one right now : Waves Physics!, it talks about light, sound and waves interference, pretty interesting course that found a lot of common ground with MJ growing :D

keep up the good work

LMAO - Those are all excellent questions and probably why I need to do a comprehensive thread on it. lol I get those questions a lot. Actually the info is on my threads below, but if you give me just a little bit, I'll launch a thread for all aerokin and explain the crap out of everything I know. One place all info. But yes, you are asking all the right questions, and the answer is yes. The 100 psi is max end really, you can get by with 50 psi.
It was found by NASA I believe (now don't quote me it has been 2 years or more) that anything below 50 psi failed to supply a uniform <50 micron droplet matrix. As the max size you want for any droplet in Aero is under 50 microns having above 50 psi ensures that, and most super fine foggers are designed for 100 psi and up to 1500 psi. Remember we are forcing at super high speeds a very narrow chain of liquid through a very small hole, most after a filter. So you need pressure, the submersibles that they sell with 'aeroponic' rigs can't get above 8 psi, if they can 4 or 5. So they aren't even in the realm of True Aeroponic application (which is why I get so much hate mail). That is just the truth, I didn't make it up, it is what it is. So adapt.

Anyhow, you'll find that the diaphragm pumps that they use for RV and Marine work brilliantly as most are set at around 60 psi to 150. And they come pre-plumbed for 1/2" to 3/4" tubing so they are very plug and play. Not too mention they can run dry for hours without issue. A good investment period.

From there you can run just about any fogger you want, as long as you get the fine mist you are looking for. If you want the Tits, you get Biotecs $8 per nozzle deal. You want 98% the same for $1 a piece you get the poly hose foggers. It becomes a personal choice at that point and availability. I myself and using a new tip this time, it is more of an impact without filter as I'm running 65 psi and the mist that should occur and placement I have will give me enough of the aerosol I want.

I'll be doing a DIY on this in the next couple days. I have my shit now...so I'll just have to hit the room tomorrow. :yes:
