The Best Aeroponic Systems

Aeroponic gardening systems have been said to be one of the most effective ways to grow plants inside. The aeroponic system allows the grower to completely control the nutrients that are fed to the plant, unlike the typical soil system. Aeroponics falls under the hydroponic system category because of this fact. Aeroponic systems work by allowing the plant roots to grow down into the air below it and is then misted with atomized water and nutrient particles in order to supply the plant with its much needed nutrients.

These systems are so clean and efficient that this is one of the major reasons to use it. It also helps the plants receive a high level of oxygen to their roots which can substantially increase yields and decrease grow time. Setting up an aeroponic system is very similar to setting up any other hydroponic system. The lights, air control and electrical are all the same.
An aeroponic system can be set up with buckets, tubes, or anything that is sealed and opaque. Just be very careful if you are trying to build your own system, because if you have any leaks or problems with it, it could be catastrophic. I recommend purchasing a prefabricated system that has been proven to work. Here are some of the most popular aeroponic systems on the market today:

We also highly recommend the aeroflo system which is one of the most popular aeroponics manufacturers out there:

Aeroponic systems are getting more and more popular among hydroponics growers around the world. This system has always been thought of as a very difficult system to run with the chance that things will go wrong at any time. However, aeroponics, especially with the aeroflo aeroponic system is actually a lot easier to run than you would think. Yes, there is always that chance that a pump could go out and you could have catastrophic consequences; however, this could potentially happen to any hydroponic system that uses pumps (which are pretty much all of them). Think of it like a sports car. A Ferrari is more demanding to drive than a Ford, but it sure does outperform that other car!

But, the benefits of using an aeroponic system are quite large. This system yields the highest growth out of any of the hydroponic systems on the market. It turns out that air is the best medium you can use! The aeroflo aeroponic system does just this by delivering a super oxygenated nutrient solution to your plant’s roots. Not only does this high oxygen nutrient solution help these plants grow faster than ever, they grow stronger than ever before and become more resilient to pests and diseases.

Because of this increase in growth, you can actually flower your plants sooner. This aeroponic system works so well that your plants will reach optimal flowering size quite a bit sooner than other methods of indoor growing. This system is perfect for the sea of green method which is said to be the most effective way to grow. By growing more smaller plants, you will see a higher yield for your grow space than if you were growing fewer, bigger plants. The aeroflo system helps enhance this sea of green process. And because this is an aeroponic system, you can actually start your clippings/clones right in the system instead of having to transplant from one system to another.

Aeroponics is a revolutionary development in the world of hydroponics. This type of hydroponic system has become more and more popular as growers have realized the huge potential benefits of using an aeroponic system. These systems use no growing medium and offer the highest performance possible. But you also need to keep in mind that these systems can be touchy and difficult to deal with at time.

Roots are suspended in a dark chamber where they are sprayed with a fine mist of oxygen rich nutrient solution at regular intervals. This interval process of spraying then just letting the roots hang in the air allows the plants to get the maximum amount of oxygen available which in turn allows the plant to intake more nutrients and grow faster than any other system. The humidity in this chamber remains close to 100% which allows the roots to hang in the chamber without drying up. Most often the plants are placed in net pots that contain a small amount of growing medium.

Because these systems don’t technically use any growing medium (besides the small amount in the net pot used for stabilization) they take a lot of care and attention to detail. If a pump fails, the roots will soon be exposed to air for too long and will start to dry up and the plant will eventually die. If you use spray heads/sprinkler heads that are prone to clogging, you will most likely experience some difficulty as the roots become longer and more dense. A simple clog in a sprinkler head could do damage depending on your system. This is a reason to purchase quality components to ensure the lowest possible chance of a clogged system.

I have seen this system in use and it does indeed produce amazingly fast growth. You will not have to veg your plants for nearly as long before starting the flowering phase. This is a huge benefit and can save the grower weeks of time that was spend vegging plants using other, less effective systems. One of our best recommendations is the Aeroflo system. Check it out!
