Aeroponics Timer and Nutrient Questions
I am building a aeroponic system which I believe will be misting my water solution onto the media and roots. How long do I mist the roots for each hours? I heard 15/45 was too much, so should I mist the roots 10 minutes every hour?
My other question is about the solution I mist onto the roots. I don't have a lot of knowledge here so I am looking for simplicity. Tonight I learned that the easiest way to handle the nutrient solution was to stick with a "base?" nutrient solution and mix it 50/50 with chlorine free water. This way the only thing I would need to do is test the water/nutrient solution for ph and then change the water solution ever 2 weeks. Does that sound about right? What kind of solution do I get?
One other question: Most of the plans I see for aeroponic totes only have one line of misters inside. Would I be better served having 2 or 3 rows of 1" pvc and 10 heads or more? I could certainly cover the entire inside of the tote with misters if that is better then 1 or 2 rows of them. I guess what I am wondering here is what kind of saturation am I looking for from the mister heads?Prodaytrader Reviewed by Prodaytrader on .
