DIY Aeroponic/Hydroponic system
Sure! I use a bubbler/aeroponic cloner along side regular rockwool cause I enjoy comparisons. So far, the bubbler roots 50% faster then just plain rockwool. 1.5 weeks instead of 3 weeks.
I simply use a 2.5 gallon rubbermaid container with holes in the top (about 1/2"). I use neoprene collars to hold the clones from fallin in (but cut surgical tubing and other things can be used) The water level sits about 2.5" from the top, so about 1.5" from the stems. I had an extra 4 port air pump so I am running 4 airstones (way more then enough). Check water level every 3-4 days. I just keep it running 24/7 (when I use an actual aeroponic system I run a schedule).
When there are roots about 1/4" long, I transplant directly into soil. You can also transplant into rockwool when they have root bumps. I dont like waiting for Rockwool cause you cant see the progress and Im not doing hydro so I dont need rockwool.
I do not use a humidity dome, never needed it with the bubbler. I do use it for around 1.5 weeks with the plain rockwool. No Wilt if your worried.
