Aeroponic Hydroponics Systems
Breaking down aeroponics hydroponics systems for the beginner
Aeroponics is the best form of hydroponic system you can get. Aeroponics hydroponics systems are unique in the fact that in these types of systems the roots are actually suspended in mid-air. These roots are then watered with a highly oxygenated nutrients spray for you. The size of the water droplet differs depending on the type of aeroponic hydroponics system you have. The two primary types that we will talk about in this article are the pump driven aeroponic hydroponics system and the ultrasonic fogging driven aeroponics hydroponics system.
We’ll start talking about the pump driven aeroponics hydroponics first, because it is by far the most common. In this type of system your plants roots are hung suspended in midair. A submersible MAG drive pump such as a 250 gallons per hour pump can be used to power a series of 360° microjet misters. These ministers will break down the water droplets to about 25 microns which is very fine particle droplet creating a light nutrients mixed that will surround your plants roots. This type of light misting in your plants roots zone and will really help to accelerate your plants root growth. The pump can be powered by either turning it on and off in 15 minute increments essentially to allow your plants to dry and then moistened again. This type of wet and dry technique has shown to increase growth performance substantially in hydroponics use.
In the other type of aeroponic hydroponic configuration you would use an ultrasonic fogger, rather than a pump to create the nutrient particle. In the case of using an ultrasonic fogger in the hydroponic grow box application the fogger would actually create a fine micron misty fog rather than a 25 micron water droplet. This much finer particle will look much more like a heavy fog or floating mist. With this type of system hundreds of thousands of tiny hairs will actually develop on your plants roots. As if these tiny hairs were there to pick up each and every water droplet that surrounds it. Again the ultrasonic fogging aeroponic hydroponics system can be controlled with a timer 15 minutes on a 15 minutes off so you have both the wet and dry to keep your roots happy and growing fast.
By using an aeroponics hydroponics system either with the pump driven or ultrasonic fogger driven system you will grow your plants with a maximum possible efficiency. We recommend aeroponics hydroponics systems over all others types of hydroponic systems. For more free information on hydroponics check out the videos section of the homegrown hydroponics website. There is a lot of useful information on a DVD to teach everybody how to use hydroponics.
It should also be mentioned that other systems such as deep water culture or drip systems can actually give your plants too much water and therefore leads to root problems. The on / off action of aeroponic hydroponics system is the best route if you can afford and that type of system. The maintenance is actually quite low and easy to use.
