Aeroponic

[mellow mood]

sup hommies. ive heard a lot bout soil, soiless and hydro, but it seems we dont hear a lot bout aeroponic. it would be cool to see a soil vs hydro vs aero. i saw a soil vs hydro at overgrow.com. but there dont seem to have many ppl using this growin technique. is it too complicated or what? cauz the yield must be a lot bigger than normal grow method. anyone on this site is using it?

[mellow mood]

check this out. we can easily notice that roots are really really long and healthy. i doubt roots could grow that big and long in soil, cauz i guess the container would stop the root growing eventually

that looks like spaghetti :p
Aeroponic systems are used less because you can't easily build one at home. So you must buy them and they are quite expensive. Just my 2 cents

You can build them, there not that hard. It's just a sprinkler system inside a bucket. Most people use the aeroponic spinners they are like drip sprinklers.You do need more sprayers then the store bought ones but it is something you can build with out too much trouble. They work fast in a SOG grow where you grow lots of plants in a short cycle.

I have an aerocloner I built that holds 74 clones and works like a dream.

In a small grow area is you have room for the tub then it's quick and easy to grow.

For the record aeroponics is just another type of Hydroponics like ebb & flow NTF, DWC, ECT.

yea but doesnt it grow faster than hydro? and bigger?

[heartsurgerysurviver]

aeroponic systems are better than most hydro set ups imo. they produce bigger plants faster than my ebb and flo set up. complete systems are a little pricey, but you can buy just the sprayers [$1.75] and drill a proper sized hole in pvc plastic, tap it by cutting threads in the hole to screw in the sprayer, [you can get all this at hydro stores]. hook it up to any pump and there ya go. most handy people could easily build one of these. I run my pump 24/7 with no aerator in the tank and it easily grows almost twice as fast as my ebb and flo. I put 2 seedlings in an aeroponic set up about 3 weeks ago and they are over 30 inches tall with fan leafs 10 inches across. There is only 2 draw backs, one, is the tiny hole in the sprayers can clog up. I clean mine every week needed or not. the other is you have to raise the lights almost every day the plants grow so fast lol.

Aeroponics is a Hydro system Mello mood....It's just a different delivery method from 24/7 drip system (I use) and different then dwc, ebb & flo tables and all the others. ebb & flow are a pain in the ass (only because I hate rock wool, the crap it is) ebb & flow with grow rocks is not bad but rockwool sucks. I hate drifting Ph levels in my grow medium I like to work but not that hard.

zandor - will 3" netpots be big enough for aeroponic trees?

[Zandor]

Trees?...no the root ball will become bound before you are out of veg if you are trying to grow trees. You use 5 gallon buckets filled with lava rocks to grow trees.

Im a aeroman myself.....i swear by this system...the biggest fan leaves ive gotten off my setups are over 14 in long x 10 in wide....its friggin amazing...the yield is crazy big and if u fine tune ur system then bammmm ur in the grow...if there are any ? plz hit me up....lololol:rasta:

Large fan leafs are sign of a temperature problem. The plant uses the fan leafs to regulate the internal temperature of the nutrient's in the plant. The larger they get the more heat the plant is trying to displace to cool the internal temperature. Some strains do have larger fan leafs by genetics but not that large.

Just fyi dude

sorry zandor the strain was nothern lights...and the total veg time was long 70 dys...then flowerd for 55 days...the heat was never above 74 - 76 degrees ...ph was held at 5.8 to 6.1......3 single 5 gallon buckets/ 1 25 gallon rez and a nut blend called davids grow...so i can say it wasnt a heat problem...but sounds right for what ur saying...hope this help explain it better... oh by the way total harvest was 2 pds 8 oz dried weight...but thank u for ur info it is much appercited....

[Zandor]

Yup NL does have larger then normal leafs. That is one of the reasons it's a great plant for starters it's very forgiving and just fun to grow. NL can take a beating and still finish not to mention it's a great smoke. That extended veg cycle would make for some old leafs for sure.

Nice yield too btw. :thumbsup:

[Zandor]

haha hey ty zandor....i always apperciate ur input on this site...u are a wise man and ty u agian for ur support....may the bud gods bless your next harvest...lol

Well thank you kind sir. I hope to grow again soon once the house sells and I move. :thumbsup:

I filmed some amazing plants that were grown aeroponicaly in 3 inch net pots... they were big plants.. they all harvested 10+ ounces... the problem was that the plastic tabs on the nets were not strong enough to hold the weight of the plants... the plastic nets would periodicaly fall into the reservoir... yikes...
