Opie, I Need A Little Help

You can't start seeds just in hydroton. Start them in a rapidrooter and then transplant to hydroton.

well, one thing i know (at least with my last system) hydrotron never fails to find it way out of the net, every time i would pop the lid on my last system there were hydrotron floating/sunk everywhere, but im afraid that im going to get rid of these liners, and just hope no hydrotron clogs the sprayer, if it does and burns it out or something, that all my eq is going on ebay and im saying bye (last grow even know i didnt get any bud was fairly therapeutic this is just causing 100X more aggravation) maby i just grab some of those cloth liners

There should be a filter over the intake of your res pump. Pumps come with a sponge filter on the inside that needs to be removed and cleaned periodically, and you can place a pump bag over the entire thing to add a second line of defense. It's a cloth sack that the WHOLE pump slips right into.

LOL - Bad choice of words on my part perhaps, but I think the intent is clear.

hha i knew what you ment

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

stinky its a little different that wat your thinking(or at least the way i think your thinking) (it prity weird) (but ill show you pic)

there is no filter at all, it just takes in in thought the hole on the bottom wile the whole sheft spins and sprays the water out theres deff no filter..

yo stinky u the one saying about your friend who lost whole crop to the aeroponics? when lights went out?

+ THERE IS NO PUMP OR TUBES OR ANYTHING JUST THAT THING

[stinkyattic]

Yeah, that was my buddy who lost a crop to a power failure.
There has to be a pump in there somewhere, inside that thing you took the pic of. What's the power source? The only way I can think of to do a passive hydro/aero, no pump at all, is with a gravity feed.

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

no, it actualy VERY ODD, there is not pump (from what i can tell) it has a motor that spins the shaft which has like threads in it wich force the water through the sprayer? maby....

FROM WHAT IM TO UNDER STAND THROUGH READING IT CREATES A WATER TORNADO (VORTEX <- ITS CALLED THE VORTEX SPRAYER) INSIDE THE SHAFT........ dosent make sence to me


LOOK:

The Vortex Sprayer is a revolutionary device. The spinning shaft of the Vortex Sprayer creates a powerful vortex (a water twister) which stirs and lifts nutrients while oxygenating the reservoir.

It gently and evenly distributes oxygen rich nutrient solution to cuttings and root systems. This powerful system enables faster, more consistent propagation results, plus faster growth rates and higher crop yields.

The Vortex Sprayer provides plants with an oxygen super-charge!


BUT AS YOU CAN SEE THE MOTOR ONLY HAS A METAL SPINNING ROT ATTACHED TO THE SHAFT

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

thats weird right, thats why i think the cocoateks are some kind of filter

[PharmaCan]

Jimmy, I buy bags of small sock filters to fit over my paint sprayer intake at Lowe's. You can probably fit a sock filter over your intake if you really want a filter.
