Aeroponics Experiment - Part 1 (Setup)

This is part 1 of my series of videos where I attempt to create and run an aeroponics system. This video is about the actual growing unit itself. I describe why I designed it like I did and how it is supposed to work.

This isnt aeroponics, this is called fogponics. Aeroponics is where you spray your roots.

I dont know if this is the simplest setup but its the best Fucking explaining video i seen.

well ur mist generator looks exactly the same as mine, check out my fb page how i set it up, real simple

We all appreciate your effort to experiment with aeroponics, but the way you set this up makes everything way more complicated than it should be.

[branjumba]

its need to have more mist

if you manafactured an aerponic system from strong mateirals and made it big enough you coudl grow large fifty foot trees and increase growth rate rapidly. imagine a metal resovoir about 20ft tall for tree production to decrease forest destruction. WHy not grow hydroponic and aerponic trees to save the land.

@14CPO How exactly does a true aeroponics system need to be set up?

[IcechickenSr]

Yeah the wood WILL start molding and roting in time. It's a good prototype though. You have to watch the Root section intake tempurature down in the bin because if your getting warm nutrients you will starve the plants abillity to take up Oxygen and other things. It will also increase the plants need for Water, nuets (which it wont be able to uptake anymore) It's complicated, but just keep an eye on it. Cool system. Cheers. IC.

If the roots are suspended in air with the air being the growing media then its an aeroponic system whether you use a sprayer, fogger, or splash them a bucket of water. I defiantly agree with the wood it's really well built but plastic is the way to go. As far as droplet size 10 microns is about the size of a red blood cell and 50 is about 1/2 a human hair doubt fog is to small and would condense into larger droplets on the roots anyway.

@apexiblaster You called it and I called it!
