Aeroponics - Who's using it now?

[oldmac]

Hey Oldmac,

Thanks for the props! I like what you\\\'re doing too, and I hope you won\\\'t be posting the results but a description might be ok. The one thing I\\\'ve been wondering about on a fog system is how do chem salts affect it? 5 microns is tiny. What\'s also very cool in your system is the small containers that feed it, quick easy changes are nice, also flexible. How often do you expect to have to change a 5 gallon container?

Peace,

A 5 gallon jug lasts 4 days, the bulk of which is used by the aero side. The fogger uses 1/2 liter per 1 hour run time. Since the fogger runs 10 mins per 1/2 hour, it does not use very much.

Ultrasonic foggers are sensitive to the salts in nutrients and do crude up. But some nutrients seem to run cleaner then others. Plus I have a built in cleaning cycle for the fogger, it is on a 24hr cycle but during the dark period it switches over from running off the nutrient jug to a direct RO water feed thru the use of a couple of soleniod valves.

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
