Quick Vid of my GH's Misting system

[Favian]

I finished the misting system for the GH and now the plants have been in the new GH for a month. So far they are loving it and they have been growing fantastic. The misting system runs every 20 mins, for 1 minute 30 seconds.

Very nice! I'm have been looking for misting systems for my plants. Do you have a link to the system you are using?

Thanks! I'm planning to use the Rainmaker Jr. How many misting nozzles do you think I need to mist a 8 x 12 greenhouse? Yours is 8 x 10 right? How many did you use?

nice , also nice GH. thanks for sharing the system link too

 

[Favian]

Dueoka, I have 10 nozzles. I'm thinking on getting three more. Mine is an 8x10

Thank you uphwiz!

 

[dueoka]

Thanks! I was looking at the nozzle coverage and figured I needed 20+ nozzles. Maybe 15 or 16 is more accurate? They aren't cheap...

 

[Favian]

Yeah, they ain't cheap. But is always better to have more in case of replacements.

I use the 3/8th orbit systems you can get at lowest for $25 a setup. Each setup has 5 nizzels and is ten foot long. You can add up to five in a row. Works great for me.

Do you use RO/DI to mist?

 

[JB_OrchidGuy]

No I don't because I'm fortunate enoughto be able to use tap to water plants. My water is less than 90ppm so I'm good. I forget about people that need to use RO.

 

[Favian]

Thank you for that info JB!

Pineapple, I do have a RO unit connected to the misting system.

 

[JB_OrchidGuy]

And Idk if the idea can through but I got the misting systems from Lowe's. For those that need to use RO water then you can buy a high pressure pump. But these systems connect straight to your water spigot. They come with a filter and pressure relief valve for when the water shuts off. They are made by orbit and have served me great. The pipe is flexible. They make a smaller one but it cannot be extended and the next size up is rigid.
