IMO you odn't want to grow trees in aero units.

you would use DWC, or drip, as commercial growers do.
MY bad.. ZANDOR's system is drip..a dam,n good drip.. IT looks so aeroponic!!!!!!! LOL


As far as trees go in aeroponic systems I agree with latewood..

For two main reasons.. (which can be overcome.. and I have actually seen some great trees in aeropnic systems)

1. plants that start to produce more than 3 ounce.. lets say 10 ounces or even 2 lbs need a tremendous amount of support... and most aeropnic systems do not offer JACK SHIT for plant supprt... plants will fall over and even worse, fall into the reservoir..

2. When growing BIG plants, the roots have a tendency to grow into reservoirs... roots sitting in water,,, even running water, adds a whole list of potential problems.. ROOT ROT may be the only thing worse than mites... yikes..

Garden Knowm Reviewed by Garden Knowm on . Do you transplant? If I am going with the Water Farms 8 pack, or the Ebb & Gro 12 or 18 site, do I grow the plants start to finish in the same bucket, or do I need to transplant them. Obviously I would start the seeds outside the bucket, assuming in rock wool or another similair medium. But past the germination and initial growth would I just plop them in and let em go? Also, if using the expanded clay pellets, would the rockwool cube just sit down inside of the pellets? Sorry if these questions are noobish, Rating: 5
