Hahahaha... Zandor, I know my friend...

There's a quote I really like, I'm sure you've seen it before once or twice ( )

-=Great Spirits Have Always Encountered Violent Opposition From Mediocre Minds - Albert Einstein=-

Hehehe... I'm sure we can figure out who's who here...

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Because I've got the benefit of a little bit of time (I still can't clone for sex, let alone take my 15 clones for the grow), I'm going to see how Hondo's experience goes.

As to money, I'm fortunate enough to be able to pony up the amount. Not rich or anything... but at least I haven't had to 'ghetto' grow my 1st time.

I would like your opinion on something Zandor:
1. The 'sterilization' properties of the fogger... what do you think about the Floralicious Plus? Would you use it? Or discard it for the time being? (for those of you not in-the-know, Floralicious Plus has beneficial bacteria... and the fogger would 'sterilize' them - at a rate of 2 million cycles per second)
2. Nutrients: Zandor, the fogger information says not to use things that aren't 'water soluble'... so I would think a good rule of thumb would be, not to use solutions that, if left un-shaken for a couple of hours, will 'separate' into two layers.
I've got no idea, but I'm thinking that the GH 3-part are fine for the fogger system, right?

Hondo,
PLEASE keep either this thread, or a new one updated... I'm very much inclined to do this... please give as much info as possible, and pics... if you can. I would really, really appreciate it!


Thanks guys...

You can keep the nutrients mixed up with little to no problem. Either air stones moving the water around or a power head to move the water in circles around what ever you use to hold water. That keeps everything moving and mixed up just fine.

Who would let the water sit with out moving it around to keep it mixed up? How can anyone grow with out having the water and nutrients in the rez mixed up at all times?

litespeed...

What are you planning to do? Is this a soon-project... or something for the future?

I'd like to help you out dude... I'm super interested in this idea. What are your plans?

Are you going to grow with them now? Later?

Hey Zandor,

About mixing it up, yeah... I thought to have my outside rez as a 5gallong paint pail (container... big thing of 5 gallons). Also, have it with an airstone (or two), and the new water pump I have bought for the NFT setup.

I thought, that to mix it, I could connect a hose to the water pump, the direct it straight to the top... then have it splash out of the hose against a 'base' or 'shield' which will make the water stream splash out in all downward directions... like the juice/iced tea mixers in restaurants. That should give good mixing, plus some added aeration.



Later everybody,

ill be firing my systems back up in about 2 weeks,using a similar fogger head as litespeed was talking about,but a 5 head unit hooked to a humidity controler in the root zone to shut the thing down if i start to get condestation.I use gh 3part .If the system works out well , ill post the exact conponents i use for u other guys to try.Keep researching ,and maybe we can come up with a really good set up.

Hey guys,

Anybody have any links/names for good quality short cycle timers?

Something that operates less than the typical 15minute cycle?

Please, if possible, that it isn't digital... they're too expensive for their quality... I've read that burn-out more frequently than the old fashioned mechanical ones.

Thanks everybody

Here is one on eBay

Intermatic makes the best ones. You get up to 15 different cycle times you can set. They cost a bit but worth the money.

Zandor...

Can I make short ON cycles with this timer? I read the eBay page, but I trully don't know if I can do that.

I want to use the timer for control of the fogger machine... I guess I'll have to play with it quite a bit, but I'm guessing it will be something like 5 minutes ON, 40-60minutes OFF.... I don't know... have to play with it.

Anyways, that's my question: Can I make short ON cycles with it? As short as, say, 10 seconds ON?

Thanks Z,
