Howdy:
I apololagies for the crude drawings and the mishmash flow of this post. I am designing this off the top of my head and it sometimes gets bumped around by my loose marbles up their. The mist chamber will need to be elivated to allow for proper drainage. The return line can run in to the side of the submersable reservoir or the lid. The return (drain) line will be seperate from the mist supply line. I would also think about an aquarium heater to warm up the water misting the cuttings. It should be placed in the submersable reservoir. Also you can make the system as a one tote chamber by elivaing the mist heads to the proper level to mist the rooting zone. I think this concludes the aeroponics discussion rxcept for questions. The beauty of this system is that you can add mist chambers if you want and run more than 1 mist chamber off the submersable reservoir. You will want to watch the misters to make sure they are properly misting the rooting zone. Also when you 1st set up your system I would test to see if all 4 misters are required. There is a possability that 4 mist heads may be too many for one mist chamber.
To start your cuttings you will want to slit the taped holes and push the cuttings through the slits from the top. I was told it should take 1 to 3 weeks to root out your cuttings depending on species.
I believe this completes the aeroponics section of this thread, except for questions and discussion. Any Ideas on the next section?
