File too large fuck my ass

Rough draft prototype

To me, so far, right now, this is the most complicated part.

This irrigation needs to come on as soon/right after the water is evaporating off the root system, just before the roots "dry"


Imo, in my thoughts, this is the most optimal timing.

I just gotta Observe and Map that Pattern, correlate to the Timer/Cycles.

Sauce is thick tonight.

This is as close as I budgetly can get to Moe's giga efficient systems.

Lol cool




I should go amend this distilled water with citric acid and 0.1 e.c to start, 5.4 pH.

Oh and once I get the drill bits I'll make holes for 10-40 of these netcups that I have, go for a "quick sog"

Been drinking this cheap shit

Need my liquid orca asap

 

[Observer]

Hehe

Sitting here with it, Observing.

Just amended the distilled water to the "correct" variable ranges.

 

[Observer]

12m off 8s on. Currently.

Subject to change every 30 minutes lol.


Thankfully lights off is only 4 hours off so I don't have to worry too much about adjusting timer every night for that cycle.

But I still need to address that some how


Ideally, maybe a moisture sensor in the tote connected to auto change the timings some how.

 

[Observer]

Pump is claiming 70psi ~ , 4-8 bar, is that high pressure enough, lol.

Hopefully.

Maybe I could get smaller diameter nozzles to produce an even finer mist but this is pretty good for now maybe

 

[Observer]

Just talking to my self and taking notes.

 

[Observer]

Data data data.

 

[Observer]

Once I shut this door I can get the rh and temps up.

 

[Observer]

Maybe a little fan inside the aerotote would be beneficial.

 

[Observer]

Now I just need to inoculate with myco fungi

 

[Observer]

4 minutes till on

 

[Observer]

4 minutes till on

Oops, got distracted with further research, I'll try to catch the next cycle.

 

[Observer]

I think my other Current biggest problem is weak citric acid.

Ph can drift easily not sure how stable it'll be over a day or night, but no airstone like dwc to introduce carbonic acid, besides the roots sitting in it? Lol


Till I can get the right chems to balance/buffer pH

 

[Observer]

Fucking awesome.

 

[Observer]

Can't wait to see some dead plants when I wake up cause the timer fucked off.

Trial & Error lol.

Then I get to plant more

 

[Observer]

15 minutes off, 6 seconds on.

 

[Observer]

Give or take some ppfds

Using phone app

Adjusted to 18 on 6 off from 24

That's a very practical question! Here's why you wouldn't typically just cap off the end of one of those lines instead of joining them with a T-fitting:

Potential Issues with Capping Off a Line:

1. Uneven Mist Distribution:
   • If those two lines are intended to distribute mist to different areas of your root chamber, capping one off would result in uneven mist coverage.
   • Some areas would receive adequate mist, while others would be deprived, leading to uneven root growth and potential plant stress.
2. Pressure Imbalance:
   • Capping off a line would alter the pressure and flow dynamics of your misting system.
   • This could lead to:
     • Increased pressure in the remaining line, potentially damaging nozzles or connections.
     • Reduced pressure in the remaining line, resulting in a weak or inconsistent mist.
3. Nozzle Clogging:
   • If the capped line was intended to supply a set of nozzles, those nozzles would not receive any nutrient solution.
   • This could lead to:
     • Dry roots in that area.
     • Clogging of the unused nozzles due to mineral buildup.
4. System Imbalance:
   • Aeroponic systems are designed to operate with a balanced flow of nutrient solution.
   • Capping off a line would disrupt this balance, potentially impacting the overall performance of the system.
5. Design Intent:
   • If the system was designed with those two lines to be interconnected, capping one off would go against the design intent.
   • This could lead to unforeseen problems.

When Capping Might Be Acceptable:

• System Modification: If you're intentionally modifying your system and no longer need the second line, capping it off might be acceptable.
• Testing: You might temporarily cap a line for testing purposes, but it shouldn't be a permanent solution.
• Redundancy: In some very complex systems, there might be redundant lines, and one could be capped without major issues. However, this is unlikely in a typical home aeroponic setup.

In essence:

Capping off a line would likely disrupt the balance and intended function of your misting system, leading to uneven mist distribution, pressure imbalances, and potential plant stress. The T-fitting is used to maintain the intended flow and distribution of the nutrient solution.

Maintenance might be a bitch, depends how often the nozzles clog I suppose.

Could do a few chemical things like using Athena cleanse? (For example, I've not looked what the chemical make up of that product is yet) To help keep lines clean of salt build up and nozzles

Supposedly citric acid helps too, and Calcium hypochlorous acid, according to Gemini.

Gotta be Giga on-point with chemical/nutrient usage to help with that as well

Not too much, not too little, but damn near Exact, to what the phenos/genes wants/needs that I'm running.

Other little annoying thing is emptying the aerotote.

Need to automate that somehow, and again proper/efficient water usage to mimimize/waste.

Fucking app keeps crashing on me just trying to upload a fucking picture
