Heres a basic overview video of my aeroponic rail system that I’m currently growing 39 peppers in. In this video I show the components of the system. More in depth videos will be coming on this system. Thanks for Watching and Please Subscribe!!!

    i think this has to be most amazing grow set up of this style but seems excessive use of power to achieve the results, i think using high quality tube CFL from Econlux would be a better idea than the HPS 1000 watt for this application. You could achieve a good result with this. Good LED is to expensive to buy and HPS to hot and to expensive to run for this application. The cfls are cool and can be closer to the plants.
    Nice plumbing and especially like the flow control meter with the water filter. You can buy different CFL tubes to run at different stages of the grow blue for early growth and extra red for final stages. You may even find mixing them with some UVb tubes might be interesting the final stages to see if it adds a lot of flavor to the peppers, not sure if that would work or not.
    I would store your nutrients nearer to that sink that position is not cool enough you are placing it.
    Overall extremely impressive would just try to get your carbon footprint down a little and put that HPS away till it might be really needed.

    I think the different species of pepper plants are going to make the mild ones hot and intermingle the tastes of the peppers.

    If you grow basil and tomato together, you get a good combination but not sure on the peppers.

    Keeping track of the water used is a great idea.  You can know the capacity of your system for adding nutrients or pH up or down.  Where did you find that Flowmaster water meter thing, and how is it working for you after a few years.  Is this system something you have continued to use in the past years, Jksax?

    I'm curious as to how many aeroponic heads you have in there, and what kind of pump do you have feeding the system?  Do you have a rule of thumb about this what you need for acceptable solution in terms of the pump you need and how many heads it can drive? Very impressive.

    Do you have a written diagram for your lay out?  Your videos are great!  I have been interested in hydroponics for a long time, but have not found the time to get started, but hope to do something about it in the Spring!  Any suggestions you could offer about getting started would be greatly appreciated!

    Awesome job… did you experience any clogging issues during your grow with the use of organic nutrients running through your micro sprinklers?  Overall very smartly designed, how were your end results in comparison to your invested time and money?
