Building a DIY Aeroponics system at home - Hydroponics Gardening

[@AzaB2C]

Neat project, have been wanting to learn about hydroponics. Didn't even know about aeroponics, cheers mate! Good luck with the new channel. Adding comment to hopefully help boost your views.

[@ArcVerdi]

Thank you so much 👍

[@ShewanJanith]

Can you please tell the diameter of the (new) Nozzel holes and the approximate flow rate ?

[@kwent86]

great video! I use tefen mister nozzles, also fairly cheap and available on the internet monopoly outlet. I would say an accumulator tank and pressure switch for $60 would be a great addition even for new growers. Reduce wear on your components and much less noise from the pump cycling.

[@ArcVerdi]

Great advice 👍 I ended up trying some stainless nozzles and they have been excellent so far.

As growing Cannabis just became legal in Germany and I am now able to grow my own medicine, I got interested in gardening in general and oh my is this meditative time well spend. I just started with soil in a fully automated tent but I knew from the early phases of learning about the hobby that once I will have the room in our new home, I am going to build a complex and fully automated system - for all suitable stuff. And now you made me want to jump right into it and engineer it on my own and not only buy finished products :) Hope you will have success with your new channel. You got a new sub, mate! Keep it up.

Thank you! I want to show people anything is possible no matter where you live.

Thanks for these videos. Hope you make more. Are you using the Bamboo P1 printer? (I see the box in video). How much does it cost to print these netcups and various parts? I'm trying to decide whether it is worth investing in a 3-D printer. Thanks.

[@ArcVerdi]

Hi, yes definitely more videos. I’ll be uploading again next week. The net pots of 32mm size cost $0.04 to print. If you want to use random sizes etc then I don’t think you can fault it. If you were to use just one size, then it’ll be cheaper to just buy those. I can print and use any size I want without having to buy 100s of each 👍 Yes it’s the P1P, love it. Best printer I’ve had.

[@oFallenDemono]

You said the stl was in the description. Where?

[@atomizer2665]

You`ll find brass patio misting nozzles are highly prone to partial clogging.

[@ArcVerdi]

Yep definitely.

[@atomizer2665]

@@ArcVerdi If you have a 10-24 tap, you can repurpose them into nice brass thumb screws for projects. Waste not, want not ;)

[@ArcVerdi]

@@atomizer2665 haha great idea.

[@warrenpeas]

do the lids of all these storage containers leak? i made one with a different container and it leaks. i don't think any of the are water tight are they?

[@ArcVerdi]

Not had a single drop from any of them to be fair. I don’t think these Mastercraft ones are advertised as water tight but they are doing great. I’m going to be reusing some in some upcoming videos.

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

You can grow carrots using aeroponics??? I'd love to see that.

[@ArcVerdi]

I am doing an update video on this in the next week or so.

[@atomizer2665]

You can grow almost anything in mist, the tricky part is supporting the top of the plant.

[@brokkoli420]

2:15 cant find these files. Would be nice, if you could link them

[@ArcVerdi]

Totally forget to do this, no worries I’ll get the links sorted.

[@soerenkk]

Still not in description 😢

[@DanielElia2036]

No expansion tank? No high pressure? Droplets will be higher than 100nm so you're not on true aeroponic.. this is more like hydro.. you're feeding cycle is 15'on 60coff?

[@ArcVerdi]

That’s high pressure aero, this is low pressure. Two very different things. Most people don’t have the means to do high pressure at home on a budget, low pressure though is more than achievable.

[@DanielElia2036]

@@ArcVerdi ok but you will not have significant improvement from DWC to LPA.. So IMHO LPA is not the way you can maximize your yeld.. people can stick to hydroponics systems.. they're more "errors forgiving" than LPA (specially blackouts are LETHAL in LPA not in hydro), they're cheaper... Easier to build.. I was persuaded by my salesman at the growshop to switch to aeroponics..he convinced me to buy a LPA setup. Really hated it. zero improvement, more complications. The "amazon" LPA kit is really a scam. An expensive piece of plastic. Like the "full spectrum x blue-red grow lights.. everyone keeps telling they're good for YEARS, science proved it WRONG. Full spectrum goes from uv to far red/infrared. Aeroponic is better than hydroponic WHEN YOU CAN GIVE YOUR ROOTS WATER AND NUTRIENTS PARTICLES BETWEEN 50-100microns. Tons of scientific literature, and studies made by NASA, proved that. If you cannot achieve 50-100 microns... stick to hydro..

[@ArcVerdi]

@@DanielElia2036 to be fair, I agree. The results from HPA is head and shoulders above anything you can expect from LPA. You know what it's like though, people like to play with hydro of all different types. I'm an advocate for all types from Kratky right up to HPA which is probably the most complex method around. I'll try and do a HPA video next year. Thanks for commenting and sharing your experiences, it really helps the channel.
