So the system... I have grown aero for a lil over 2 years now, bunch of projects going to get what I want. After burning up 4 water pumps in less than 2 years, over $1.5k burned up, I had to figure out a better way for me. here it is.

For reservoir's I am using 5 gallon "soda" kegs. These are nice because you can get them just about anywhere and the hardware is easily available. Con a 5 gallon res is just shit and had to be checked all the time. I do get a full 24 hour run on the time settings I'm on right now before I have to refill. There is also a "fill hole" in the top that when closed and the keg is pressurized pushes it to seal. When the keg is empty I pump out the water from the trashcans with a BS fountain pump I had, Filter it and put it back, Up this this week I was getting about 2 days before she drank it below 3 gallons and then i pitch it to the roses out front and make a new batch.

From above you can tell the pumps are gone. for testing I used a "namebrand" pancake compressor to see how it works. I am in the process of running a line from a standing shop compressor just to get my lil one back for other things.

ok so kegs full of nute mix, pressure is hooked up now to figure out a servo to control on and off cycles. I didnt want to get into transformers and having to down ampage or volts for a 12v one. what to do what to do. OHHHHHHH lordy I have a busted cloths washer. Yup pulled it out before trashing.

ok now how to control the cycles, Alrdy own a growtronics control system, in it went.

Misters? well to start it was the Ace patio misting spraying systems. Not gonna lie they worked extremly well for what they are and was able to handle the 65 psi I am running the system at ATM. If you have hard water don't know what that is or why your misters are clogging thats more then likely it. I am using RO water but have had issues in the past.

I have now moved on to some 3d printed misting heads I "borrowed" designs from about 5 places and then meshed them all together, modeling's not my thing, Dad/Vet bod, but they are working pretty good atm and i might release the printing file if it goes good through flowed.

I am testing new tips i printed last week to see if I can get a vortex inside the head to siphon the nutes from a res which would allow me to put the pump out pump on a timer and run it through a filter before going back to the res. well see...

Attach photo shows the compressor to keg connection then out of the keg with the cream color tubing. you can see the venting pin and latch for the "lid" of the keg there to

here they are after getting topped today. don't freak out to bad for them, if they do like mom did they will fill everything in. The branches in the middle of the tent were all crossed from one side to the other to open up that space and give me room for the stretch and placement of buds...

Anyone got any ideas on how to handle that 1 branch standing up? it wont bend lol

and the roots, The bottom of the pots are about the size of a basketball and then they are stacked on the bottom about a foot up... and your now caught up
