Rookie Aero Flo Grow Together

[TREE KING]

This nozzle look almost identical with Ez Clone nozzles which can be bought on almost every hydro store or on Ebay : http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-20-50-36...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2c5f24e1e0

But this nozzles does create mist only under high pressure. The are designed to create small droplets of water and the size of that droplets is proportional with the speed/pressure of the water.

thanks but tell you the truth they look nothing alike. i have an ez cloner with those nozzles i wanna get ones specifically designed to give a mist like mine. that nozzle color is orange in the picture just to be clear

 

[TribalSeeds]

Those nozzles are actually called Misters...lol

I think youre chasin your tail on this one.

Is there a way to get parts for old GH systems?

Answer: Please first check our parts and supplies page to see if we have your replacement part listed. If you do not see the parts you are looking for please email or call General Hydroponics with the specific parts needed or a description of the parts and GH will let you know if the parts are available and a give you price if available.

i dont have the aeroflo i got the apollo 3
http://4hydroponics.com/hydroponics/aeroponics2.asp?ItemNo=apollo3
its made by a company named qualiplast and there impossible to get on the phone plus there in canada. o i see what your sayin maybe the sprayers from that will work on mine. guys do your aero flo's spray a fine mist?

 

[TribalSeeds]

My point was you will end up chasin your tail on this one... If you get them on the phone they wont be cheap. Even GH doesnt have nozzles listed. Every system Ive ever seen used the EZ clone sprayers as replacements. The mist is actually more from the splashing against the lid and sides of the container anyway. Theres not going to be much of a difference as long as they are either 360 or 180 depending on application.

 

[TREE KING]

fuck it let me go test out one of the ez clone misters in my apollo and see how it is

 

[hempfield]

But what happen with the original nozzles ? The are so clogged that you could not clean them ? Let them soaking in a concentrate solution of NaHO for one night (be sure you use rubber gloves to avoid chemical burns) and they will be clean and shiny with no debris left inside. Try not to scratch the plastic when you unclogg them as this can affect their performance.

If you clean them and they do not work as it should, probably is something wrong with the pump.

thats what i was lookin for a way to clean them out properly thanks hempfield i just wasnt sure if i cleaned them out 100% with the pipe cleaner. are you talkin about Sodium Hydroxide Solution? where can i buy this in person?

by the way i just tested out the ez clone misters and there nothin alike they dont blow out a mist. the water was comin out real fast though which is good lol

I really don't know where you can buy sodium hydroxide in Canada (because I am living in Europe), but you can use any kind of solution for unclogging kitchen sink (like Mr. Muscle).

I think you can also buy some NaOH flakes for soap making .

 

[TREE KING]

no doubt hempfield thanks im all set guys

Day 49 Bloom Update


Unit:


Canopy:


Back Side:


Bud:


Data:


Less than three weeks to go! I predict day 65 for these girls.

The chunkination continues. These are high density buds, the bottom blast fan is really working well with these shorter plants. The best tops are knarly, crystalized, fist sized chunks.

The aromas have deepened and matured with an overtly sweet top end, balanced by a menacing and intoxicating dank funk.

The plants have started to slightly lighten, and only sip on their PK pushed nutes - getting ready for the big finish.


As always, your comments and questions are welcome.

Sounds great! I expect we will have folks all over the timing band - there's trains leaving all the time! It will keep the thread interesting for sure, with all these simultaneous grows at different stages.

To all the lurkers:

There is still plenty of time to join the group grow. If you have been thinking about trying this style of growing, this is your opportunity to get the help and support to give your first run its best chance at success. I expect to actively support this thread well into next year.

Do the research. Read this thread from the begining. Be aware of the risks. Do the math. Join Us!

Hey guys just an update. I am sexing my heavy duty fruity n other one that I'm not sure of. With 2 clones a piece. My kushage is pretty bushed out and I successfully fimmed it whilst topping the others. Pics soon . So sexing is taking place I'm my DIY aero bucket. Not but a week or two and I should be into the real cloning. And damn y'all's aeros looking nice I appreciate y'all's experience so much. I probably would have been s.o.l on this without this thread.

 

[JohnG]

AK, looking great. What is written in your data page on the right side next to 10/24? I cannot read it.

SouthernHaze, I am really interested in seeing the Kushage after reading about some of the medical benefits of this strain.

That is a timing note for the plants coming next to the unit. The Femmed 4 strain run is coming next. It has only a 4 day window for me to work with, so timing is critical. Check out the thread in my sig for more information.

Documentation is key to staying organized and keeping the bloom room humming. I use a backwards calendar to plan all my runs. With multiple units, keeping everything in "just in time" mode, requires planning - down to the day that seeds get wet.

It's always fun to watch em grow!

so I was thinking about a DIY for this. how do u feel about me building a 4 x 5/6 ft table, 8" high, with a slight downgrade? then build a lid that has 18-24 4/6" holes drilled for net pots, and build a 1/2" pvc manifold that attaches to the inside of the lid, spraying down and out? Kinda like those 2 x 4' SOG beds I have seen Heath Robinson do before, where the entire root bed becomes intertwined and looks like a pillow of roots.

I understand it would mean a possible greater chance for the spread of disease since there are not separate gullys to grow in. I will be growing on a CoLD concrete basement floor in the dead o winter, so temps will stay in the 60's, hell, I might even need an aquarium heater, lol. My Lights On temps currently in my 2K hover around 77 at canopy, and 74 at soil level with a 2 x 4"/OBX raised floor, in said basement.

Just looking for a cost/time effective route to do this. I have seen TONS of Plywood flood and drain tables built over the years, with a slight downgrade, and they worked great. some super duty tarp then the hella thick Orca would do the trick, i do believe.

No time atm to mull over the pro's and con's of your idea, but a couple things come to mind. First robertfortune is doing an awesome DIY aeroflo build. He posts in this thread and I think may have a link in his sig. If that doesn't stike your fancy, look into pondliner instead of tarp and orca. Comes in lots of pre cut sizes or in big rolls. Super thick and durable. I've build more than a few ebb/flow tables with it, really good stuff.
