    It is always a good idea to paint over the bucket with dark paint, the more light that enters the bucket the more likely you will get algae and other pests. Other than that nice build.

  • @Zahaqiel
    @Zahaqiel 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    With that spray volume and droplet size, you're not actually getting the benefits of aeroponics so much as creating a high-energy kratky system. Plants will grow in it, but you won't get the fine root system and higher nutrient uptake that an aeroponic system is aiming for. You've got too many spray heads to begin with and they're too close to the roots, so you're effectively just hosing them down when ideally you want smaller droplets diffusing through the air and collecting in a fine mist on them. The weaker pump with less nozzles (and not aimed directly at the roots) will likely get you a better result. You could also use an ultrasonic mister in a separate container that has a filtered fan to flow the mist into the grow chamber (and which will also condense the droplets on the way through so that they size up from the 1 micron size that an ultrasonic mister will produce). But yeah, as that system is designed, you could just build a kratky system and save yourself the power cost of the pump. In a one chamber system the plants are going to eventually grow their roots down into the reservoir anyway and then the pump becomes pointless.

    • @diegobucarey
      @diegobucarey 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi! I'm new at this can you explain the differences between the kratky system and the one showed here? Thanks in advance 🎉

    • @Zahaqiel
      @Zahaqiel 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@diegobucarey Can do! So a Kratky system is one where the root chamber and the reservoir chamber are the same chamber (like in this case). Usually the initial water level is at or immediately below the seed level, and as the plants uptake the nutrient mix, the water level is allowed to drop some so that there is an area of root system exposed to oxygen (because plants uptake oxygen through their roots and so need this space to not drown), and an area of root system simply in the nutrient mix (because they also need to uptake nutrients through their roots). The reservoir is periodically topped up to maintain this level of nutrient mix so that the plants can continue to uptake both oxygen and nutrients/water through their roots. So what he's done here is essentially built a Kratky system, but rather than start with a high nutrient mix level, he's just added sprayers to throw up the nutrient mix at the plants. In a proper aeroponic system, the reservoir would be separate and the spray volume would be less intense, and the droplet size would be finer, so the roots are almost being misted while otherwise being suspended in a volume of air. Any excess liquid would be allowed to drain out of the system back to the reservoir so it's just that mist-delivery that delivers nutrients to the plants. No pool at the bottom for them to waste energy growing towards. The root systems grow differently in the two systems too - in a Kratky system you get long roots that initially spread out (because the first level grows wide due to the easier access to water when the water level was high) and then dangle down like hair, whereas in an aeroponic system you get large fractal branches as the roots try to maximise their surface area to uptake the mist.

  • @vex123

    • @rebel4466
      @rebel4466 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The only really "hard" stuff is getting into the programming part. But it makes everything so much easier. Arduino has been a game changer. Much easier than programming boards for the earlier microcontrollers and the programming language upgraded from assembler. Once you get a decent understanding of the little things, you'll never go back to classical setups. Also the upgrade from Arduino to ESP8266 and ESP32 is negligible. The ESP having much more power and wifi setups. For the last step you can go Raspberry Pi. That's basically half way between micro PC and Arduino. You can run Linux on it, while still having the IO pins of the modern microcontrollers. If you're a tinkerer, you'll love it.

  • @assog5737
    @assog5737 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I don't mean to be rude. I just want to try and educate you and the people that watch this video. First off this is not a aero setup. It's actually a hydro setup. The reason for this is, because your nute solution and pump are in the grow chamber. So once your roots start growing, they will be hanging down into your nute solution. Instead of just hanging in the air. Hence aeroponics. When growing with aero you want your system to have a grow chamber and a reservoir. The reservoir will have your nute solution and pump in it. Then you get a timer to where you can set seconds and minutes. And plug your pump into that. Because your ON spray time only takes seconds. And your OFF time takes minutes. For example you would only spray your roots for 5 seconds every 10 minutes. And then your nute solution drains back into the reservoir. So the roots are just hanging in the air. That pvc thing with your sprayers on it is called a manifold. Like I said I'm not trying to be rude. I'm just trying to give you some friendly advice. Now with your manifold. You have way to many sprayers. You just want to mist the roots a little, not soak them. I don't know if you have ever seen roots grown with aero. But there will be like main roots. And then off of them there will be like little hair roots. Well if you soak your roots you won't get any of the hair roots. Which help tremendously with the uptake of your nutes. Without these hair roots your limiting the success of your grow. Another thing about your manifold is it is sitting way to high up in your grow chamber. And you will have tons of leaks. My manifolds sit about 2 inchs off the bottom of the grow chamber. Someone already said something about your grow chamber and reservoir being light proof. But also there is one very important thing, that most people that try and grow with aero don't know is that you must keep your grow chamber and reservoir and nutes at around 75 degrees. This is very important from keeping mildew and mold from attacking your roots. Hence ROOT ROT. I've been growing with what is called LPA ( Low pressure Aeroponics ) for about 15 years now. Which means I'm not using a high pressure pump to achieve the droplet size required to grow with HPA ( High Pressure Aeroponics ). When I wanted to start growing with aero. I built a HPA system. It cost me over 500 bucks. And it was a pain in the rump. And then about a year after I was growing with HPA. I stumbled across this guys grow diary and he was growing with LPA. I'd never heard of it before. This guys diary was great. It was like a hundred pages long and he showed everything he did, even with hundreds of pictures. Anyway I built a LPA system. And did a side by side against my HPA system. And there was NO difference in the results. And the rest is history. LoL 😂😆. I built 4 LPA systems, which consist of 2, 23 site grow chambers with 1 reservoir. Each system is only 3'x3'. Thats 46 plants in a 9 s/ft area. I grow in what is called the SOG ( Sea Of Green). My plants are like 2 inchs apart. I've been growing this way for about 15 years now and it is the cheapest easiest and fastest way to grow. Anyway I hope this helps a little. Oh one more thing. The tubs you want to use are the black ones with the yellow lids from home Depot. Those are the only ones that will not leak. Good luck and take care. ASS OG. Aero Systems Sea Of Green.

  • @bryonkavanagh6209
    @bryonkavanagh6209 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sterlite makes a nice rubber made tote in 18 gallon size that is a little taller and softer plastic (no breaking). Also, using an aquarium pump domes with fittings that connect to pvc fittings better as well as a/c standard wiring that plugs in directly. On my setup, I drilled the wire access on side of the bin near the top (as opposed to the lid). Nice job on the project overall. I use mine as a closer and get roots at about 5 days on cuttings.

      You're correct that I didn't achieve enough pressure to aeroselize the spray, which would have made this true aeroponics, so it's more of a hydroponics / aeroponics mix. I think that aquaponics is when you combine a cooperation between plants and fish.
