Still researching my options. Have some ideas but will do some side by side test grows before going all in on any type of system.

After much research and thought I have decided to go with a high pressure aeroponic system. It will cost a bit more but I have heard of great results with a well designed system. I am going to build a 4x6 table for veg first and test design and if the results are to my liking I will either refine the design and then build a large system for flowering. I will be shutting down my grows until this new system is being built.

the handle -fatman- rings in the back of my head

as far as i remember, he was on roll it up, back in the days, and was the only or 1 of 2 guys who really pulled it off, with pictures, not just written words , i do remember the root porn, never ever seen such roots in any other kind of hydroponic / aquaponic setups, not those fat thick spaghetti tubes but only micro fine hair roots all over the place

too bad i dont remember much of the specs, he had a pressure tank that was hooked up upon a pump, this pump would only turn on for about 20 minutes a day keeping the pressure tank in its needed range (bigger is better, less noise), the air would leave the tank, mix with water, which again was premixed with nutes and would spray though nozzles that are controlled by a solenoid valve , so the system is always under pressure ready . dont judge me, i do think that he mentioned 20 bar pressure , its a guess, i really cant remember , EC not much more than 1.2 / 1.4 (actually half of regularly needed strength ) and the timing was also ridiculous, like 5 seconds on 2 minutes off, or something like that, as you see, there are more mistakes to make than to find the golden cut, not to mention to fine tune everything to perfection, at least 10 runs with a genetic source you know inside out under any conditions and can use it as a beacon towards new records for the guinness book

there was this prebuild system called ATOMIX (just like the dj software) - or maybe there still is - due to enormous costs , back in the illegal days, i doubt that many bought this unit, therefor i suspect that the company is out of buizness

yeah the internet does not forget - my ass - rly needed things like a homepage for the ATOMIX is only findable via the archive.org if you are lucky enough

in that means, good luck and may my dream come true with the help of your hands

Your memory is right on brother. Pressure tank, solenoid, and pump are most of the delivery system, I am going to install a pressure relief valve in the system for safety and oxygenate the water to a better degree and use 50 micron nozzles to finish the delivery system. Should be fun and you are all welcome to the ride as I will share the build and grows with the system.
