fogger system
Ok, so I've read more... and here's some stuff I've thought about:
-->100% Aeroponic system
-->Hybrid Aeroponic/Hydroponic system
In the hybrid version, you have your typical NFT setup, and, you insert/pump the aeroponic fog into the PVC pipe... So, the fog flows between the NF (Nutrient Film) in the pipes, and the top of the pipe...
Supposedly, you use less nutrient solution when you use aeroponics. In addition, some farmers have said that they've had best results using their nutrients' mix to half the standard measurements.
What do you think about both of these statements?
One thing that I did like, was that there's a picture close-up of a root... and it has tiny micro-roots growing out of it. Increased surface area... nice.
But, I don't know about the hybrid system... wouldn't the use of the NFT technique cancel/negate the less-nute/less-water benefits of 100% aeroponics?
What do you think? 100% aeroponic? or Hybrid NFT/Aeroponic?
Please, don't tell me to do a side-by-side comparison... I'm going full into one, or the other... if I'm going at all.
Here's the fogger I like: NUTRAMIST FOGGER 5 High capacity 5 Head Fogging system
