Fine tuning, could pressure add to it?

The more the better, to an extent.


The pump is around 70 psi, I wonder if added another one to it if it would be 140 psi~?

Need closer to 90psi+, 10-50um droplet size, my current pump is probably 30-70um at 70 psi, 4-8bar.

Otherwise maybe using a accumulator tank to keep constant pressure would solve it.

That's a good thought for adding. I'm thinking to much?
But the road you could go on makes sense as well

He's running 92-120 PSI a bit finer mist

He made a pretty clean setup for HPA

Those fuzzy fine root hairs are trichoblasts.


His system is legit lol

The vertical grow, lol.

This is from a data sheet for the pump used to test nozzles in a YouTube video a couple of pages back. I put a red outline around the part where it states increasing the inlet pressure increases discharge pressure by a similar amount. For that particular pump, the max inlet pressure is listed at 60psi. If that pump can generate 80psi discharge at 0 inlet pressure, does that mean it would generate 140psi at discharge when you have 60psi at the inlet? If the -10LPM on the chart holds true for every +10psi, it looks like you'd have 0.4LPM at 140psi at the discharge. In very limited poking around, I've seen several mentions of aeroponic nozzles that operate at 80psi-100psi.

Need closer to 90psi+, 10-50um droplet size, my current pump is probably 30-70um at 70 psi, 4-8bar.

I almost wonder if you would get enough of a boost to the inlet pressure (and thereby increase discharge pressure) but connecting the pump inlet directly to your home's water line.

Otherwise maybe using a accumulator tank to keep constant pressure would solve it.

If the pump needs to run longer to hit the discharge pressure you want, maybe a pressure switch for the pump and an actuator valve would work for the mist/fog cycles. With such small lines, I'd think the pump would get there quickly on it's own, though. If the pump is sufficient, maybe it all comes down to the correct size nozzle.

I don't know anything. Just flapping my jaws and seeing if anything lands close, lol.

Need more aeroponic growers here, whether low pressure or high pressure.

=(

I did not know leaf sensors were a thing

What the fuck

I record a video, press OK, it dissappear.

Happens when I try to take pictures sometimes too.
