    I'm looking to get some high pressure misting nozzles any recommendations on a brand/type ?

     
  2. Ive heard the plastic ones you see when you search up "aeroponics misters" clog regularly but that can be expected. I cant speak for any brand in particular but if I were you id stick with the ones made by aero companys simply because they are made of metal, they all claim sub 50 microns so any of those seem like a safe bet
     
  3. Sub 50 micron is relative to the pressure you put on them. Most nozzles generate huge percentage of droplets well above the ideal range. Here`s a pic to give you an idea of just how hard it is to judge mist droplet size. the apertures in the mesh are122 micron, which is huge by aeroponic standards [​IMG]

  4. Clogging is the result of unfiltered nute concentrate residue, or, as I stupidly did, running organic. Hydroponic- Research V + B for the win



    I bought good mist head system from Reptile Basics. I can't say I had any better results than using straight up F & D, but modified to take advantage of what I learned from 2 years of hpa. The biggest being, the root zone temps need to be carefully monitored, or you'll never see fluffy root hairs


    See my DIY Mini-Me F & D for ideas
