Hello fellow Growers!

I'm begining a prototype Aeroponics setup to grow a large Tomatoe (And soon Marijuana) plant from seedling to flower.

I will be using a 5+ Gallon bucket for the initial Resevoir, and a smaller bucket which will sit on top to house the misters/sprayers/grow chamber for the plant (Or Visa Versa - 5 Gallon on top, Bigger bucket on the bottom)

The resevoir will hold the pump, an airstone, and said outfits for wiring as well as tubing. The nutrient will be pumped up from the direct middle of the top of the res, to the direct middle of the growth chamber bucket. Is this a good plan: Or should I run the PVC piping from the bottom outside, to the top inside?

I've already purchased the Misters, 4, 360 Degree knozzles which will sit in the grow chamber..Not sure on the pump capacity yet, I know more is better -- Input is greatly appreciated!

What I wanted to know was what would be the best way to construct the PVC for housing the Misters? Should I create a bar type pipe where they sit in a row, or maybe like a Cross, 1 mister on each end so the roots have room to grow down, and out and not interfier too much with the plumbing? Or possible make a flat-laying Field goal post where 2 misters on each side of the PVC spray and the roots grow down, in between them.

A Fogger system will later be incoperated upon completion and thorough testing of the prototype.


Any Feedback is much needed! Thank You! :thumbsup:
