You could...
detect pressure build up -> assume clogged
set pressure 0
open a solenoid connected to h2o2 with enough elevation to reach the clog
detect flow increase ->assume unclogged
close solenoid, set pressure 50 psi (or whatever)
This might best be done with a hydraulic circuit rather than electronic sensors, by the way. Ie. to detect pressure build up have a secondary line with slight resistance before the nozzle that when pressurized triggers other hydraulic elements which cut pressure, etc.

Woah, very neat setup. That looks more like a vertical NFT setup than aeroponics though. Is there a fine nutrient mist that I can't see? or is it simply pumped to the top then drips down the edge?

You seem like a passionate co-founder to me jelli and I can see the value in what you're saying. Maybe SV can see it too, but they can't see the way to take that value and use it to extract a high ROI right now.
Could you link your website?
