Thought i would start with the system and how i built it and how it works. Its a low pressure vertical aeroponic system. Each bucket has one red ez clone sprayer. Each buckets has a hole on the bottom to catch the water and send it down the rain gutter system to a sump reservoir with a float switch where it is pumped back to the main res.
The main res is a 50 gallon drum with a 1/3hp chiller keeping it at 68deg. The pump is a 950 gph shallow well pump. The feed manifold runs from the pump to the top of the room where i have ball valves and hose feeding each individual wall. Also have a city water valve in case of a power/pump failure etc.
The ventialtion is new. I just installed a 17,200 btu mitsubishi mini split. I have a 10 inch scrubber/ fan combo mounted high on the back wall that cycles all the air from the top through the duct then pushed back out at the bottom center of the square. And of course the floor fan slowly pushing the air back up the center. Its working great..but we will see how it works in real time with this log.
Almost forgot the water cooled co2 generator. Its mounted out of the grow room and ducted in.
