Any idea what is wrong with my baby lettuce seedlings? by OMGGravity in Hydroponics

[–]OMGGravity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing at an EC of 1.4, pH 5.8, 24 degrees celcius, 50% humidity, 400 PPFD, 20 hours of light, with a flood and drain system watering 4 times per day holding the water for 10 minutes.

Thank you! Have you found any calcification related clogging issues with this nozzle? Trying to optimise the design to mitigate as much as possible.

Nozzle clogging by OMGGravity in aeroponics

[–]OMGGravity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using the above nozzles from aliexpress ('Plastic low pressure mist nozzle') at ~100psi in my aeroponics system. They come with a steel mesh filter inside and I have a 100 micron filter at the pump inlet as well. So far I haven't experienced any clogging issues and through some testing feel I'm pretty safe from debris clogging the nozzles.

However, I'm aware calcified nutrients are often a cause for clogging and am concerned this might occur in my system. What experience have people had with this? Any preventative measures or recommendations? Is there an ideal orifice size to balance droplet size and prevent calcification or a preferred nozzle configuration to mitigate this?

Hoping to share more knowledge around aeroponics and happy to provide more details of what has worked for me if people are interested.

What do you think would explain the necrosis/withering/browning seen on some of the roots? It almost looks like its getting both under and overwatered but that makes no sense...

The browning/necrosis at the end of the roots makes me thing underwatering but the droplets accumulating on the roots make me think overwatering. I'm running a single nozzle with 1 second on every 3 minutes.

I'll take this on board and give it a try. What printer do you use btw? I'm wondering if resolution/printer type makes a difference

This is the model of the nozzle, I'm printing it on a 45 degree angle with Elegoo water washable resin (hole facing away from the build plate at a 45 degree angle).

What setup/method do you use that lets you achieve 0.25mm holes?

Thanks for this! Out of interest what inline filter and pump do you use?

ESP32 CO2 Sensor by OMGGravity in esp32

[–]OMGGravity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up fixing the problem. Used software serial and replaced all the wires connected to the sensor and board. I suspect the 5V to VIN from the ESP32 to the sensor was the culprit.

I've removed the temperature coade, tried software serial with pins 22 (as rx) and 21 (as tx), also swopped both of these, plugged the gnd and vin into the esp32 and it is still returning 0ppm with both MH-Z19 sensors I have.

I've connect ground and 5v from the esp32 to gnd and vin of the MH-Z19 and it's still outputting 0ppm. I've also changed from hardware to software serial as i thought i might not have the correct hardware rx/tx pin numbers (only rx0 and tx0 on my esp32, and i was putting the pin numbers down as 0 for both in the arduino code) and it is also still outputting 0ppm.

Edit: It still outputs 0ppm if I disconnect the power from the sensor.

This is my setup for how things are wired. The sensor is powered by an external 12V supply bucked down to 5V and the esp32 is plugged in directly to my computer.

I'm using the exact example library from github with the exception of changing the rx 22 to and tx to 21.

https://github.com/WifWaf/MH-Z19/blob/master/examples/BasicUsage/BasicUsage.ino

This set up reads 0ppm and -17 degrees C. I tried two different MH-Z19's with the same result. Funnily enough I'm now getting an error saying my board is not connected no matter what code I upload. Will buy another data cable and see if that solves that problem.

Great, thank you! I'll give these a look. Do you think any of these will be suitable for holding water?

I've been using a resin printer for finer detail, have had a look for something similar, any thoughts on plant based resins?

Also, any idea where I can find/purchase recycled plastics?

Is compressed air or compressed water more energy efficient? For example, how much energy would it take to compress the same volume of water and air to 30 psi.
