Aeroponic Misters - Choosing the best nozzle material - Part 1

[@petrsoukup6904]

Thank you for these videos! I have been researching aeroponics for a few weeks and I have learnt most by binge watching this channel :))

[@HighTechGardener]

You're welcome. Your kind words are very much appreciated.

[@NimbuTech]

Loving the channel HTG. I was in the middle of designing my own high pressure aeroponic system and I stumbled onto your channel and its been very helpful. Cheers mate and keep it up!

[@HighTechGardener]

You're welcome, my friend.

[@lukefreelandwillard]

Me too. Have you had success?

[@andredoutre-woods9324]

Very informative videos my friend I am so happy you decided to make them keep up the great work! 😎

I live in the desert so it can get up to 115 here. I’m assuming that I cannot use a plastic nozzle. I don’t really feel comfortable use plastics in such heat when it comes to food. You mentioned that using different materials for tubing and the nozzle could be an issue. Do you have any suggestions for which tubing materials could maintain the integrity of the entire system when using steel nozzles. And do you have a recommendation for steel nozzles?

[@HighTechGardener]

Great point! However, most roots can't tolerate 115F. So there will be bigger issues with your plants. Maybe I can make a video on this.

What product would you recommend for a grow? Please provide links.

Hey Mister Lee, I love your channel and I have learned a ton already. I was wondering if you could answer one question I had on one of the topics. In your video @5:39 you mention that if you have salts in your nutrient solution you should go for stainless steel nozzles instead of the plastic nozzles. What do you mean here with salts? Because in my understanding plant nutrition is always composed out of salts like kno3 or MgSO4 which after being brought in solution the plant can take up as K or Mg e.d. So do you mean another kind of salt or should you always go for stainless steel nozzles when you work with plant nutrition liquids? Kind regards, Emiel

[@HighTechGardener]

I now recommend plastic. Certain concentrations can deform the nozzle orifice. Because the plastic is cheap, just replace them as needed. Thanks for asking

[@afishl1]

Any links? Maybe put in the description? You also cut out when you were taking about the pressure.... when you go up or down in pressure, within spec, does that increase or decrease droplet size?

[@HighTechGardener]

Lower pressures produce larger droplet sizes. Thanks for asking

[@dooberdobber272]

Thank you for this info

[@MRBACKHAND]

good vid.... i actually use plastic hydroponic nozzles in my race car for water meth injection.... works great.... low pressure high mist excellent

[@HighTechGardener]

Thanks for sharing. Race cars?

[@MRBACKHAND]

@@HighTechGardener yeah man got a 10micron nozzle just after the turbo and 20 micon one spraying the outside of the intercooler... takes the temps down from 80 degrees down to 30 thats a pretty big drop

I'm happy if you're happy. Plenty more to come. Thanks

[@talhaasad6915]

What about copper plated with nickel, these are the only ones I can seem to find here, the manufacturer says they should not have any issues, what is your feedback about it?

[@HighTechGardener]

Sorry. I can't recommend those nozzles. Thanks for asking

[@talhaasad6915]

@@HighTechGardener Copper nickel plated have an addition pre filter before the nozzle, stainless steels ones do not, so I am kind of deciding between the 2, you'd recommend using the stainless steel ones without the filter?

[@kalkanort9333]

@ 5:00 i belive it's called electrolysis same reason you can't strap a copper pipe with a steel strap

[@NastyAnubis]

Actually called "galvanic reaction". Stainless steel creates a weak electrical charge when contacting non ferrous metals like aluminum and copper. This is where the corrosion comes from. Never use a stainless bolt in an aluminum hole if you ever want to use that hole again. :)

[@masterd3000]

Hello, does anybody have a clue about which Tee-connector to use for the nozzle with 1/8 male thread? I just can't find it anywhere... Thanks!

[@thousandnations1soul450]

What would I use for cannabis growing 4 by 8 garden bed with 32 to 50 plants

[@HighTechGardener]

There isn't a simple answer for this. I'll try to cover this in a future video.

[@thousandnations1soul450]

[@jtg2314]

What is the name of the stainless steel nozzle?

[@duyhoang3072]

Hi, can you give me a link to buy this nozzle? I can't find it in my country. Thank you

[@HighTechGardener]

Hi Duy, I plan to release a new video that will address your comment in the next days ahead. Thanks for watching my videos.

[@duyhoang3072]

@@HighTechGardener In my country, the stainless nozzle is cheaper than the plastic's :D

[@jtg2314]

What is the name of the poly nozzles that you use?

[@HighTechGardener]

Hi jtg The reason I didn't mention it because the manufacturer doesn't do direct sales. I'm in the process of finding a replacement that might be even cheaper. Here's the nozzle I used in the image: BETE UltiMist Spray Nozzle UML63M We'll take you garden into the future.
