As far as dialing in systems.. I\'ve simplified it. When I first started I was measuring/tweaking the ph of the reservoir daily and being generally nervous like a noob just starting our and loving their plants way too much and screwing with them constantly. Now, I simply prepare a new reservoir, move it into the system and leave it alone 4-6 days.

One of the major factors in aeroponics is the temperature of your reservoir, once it starts to climb above 68 degrees, you\'ve created the perfect environment for pythium (aka root rot). With cooler weather here, this is not a problem now. Once summer returns, I\'m hoping to have incorporated a 1/10 hp reservoir chiller on each system. A bit expensive at $350 or so a piece, but effective.

I\'ve been doing some side-by-side yield comparison between aeroponics and plants in soilless mix. Nothing super scientific but in my situation, I get similar amounts, typically a solid 2 oz per plant dried. So on a 6 plant system, 12 oz plus enough trash for about 1/2 oz of great bubble hash. Keep in mind, this is with NO CO2.. This big difference is the buds coming from the aeroponic systems are always much more dense than those not.

I switched to aeroponics earlier in the year and finally feel like I'm getting it dialed in on a more consistent basis. I'd like to get a thread going to talk about what has been working and what didn't. From an experience level, I'm into cultivation for about 2.5 years now and relatively anal about doing things accurately when it comes to mixing nutrients and water. My approach to aero is fairly simple; I used the HT Rating: 5
