| Aero Machine - 9 Plant Site |
The Aero machine utilizes a high pressure pump and micro-jets to deliver a highly oxygenated mist of nutrient solution to the bare roots of plants. The plants are grown in net baskets containing a plastic rootguard lid to block out light into the net basket and the nutrient solution. The net basket sits in a hole drilled out in the aero machines lid. The lid contains a knob to allow for easy inspection of the root zone by lifting the lid. If the grower wishes, he/she may utilize expanded clay grow rock in the net baskets for added plant support, and stability. The Aero Machine sits directly on top of its own reservoir.
Aeroponics is one of the fastest plant cultivation methods to grow vegetables, herbs, flowers and houseplants due to the high level of dissolved oxygen to the root zone. Plants will achieve an increase in water and nutrient uptake over conventional soil gardening methods. Soil tends to bind up crucial minerals and therefore plants tend to expend a lot of energy pulling the minerals away from the positive ions such as clay in the soil. With aeroponics the cation exchange is neutral for optimum nutrient uptake and accelerated growth.
For indoor hydrogardening applications American Agritech recommends a metal halide or high-pressure sodium lighting system depending on plant variety, stage of growth and plant cultivation methods, ranging 250-400 watts for the Aero 9.
Includes pump, 5" net pots and neoprene inserts. Includes reservoir with removable lid for ease of use. Use with Power Clone, Woods, Dip N Grow, or Hormex. A Biological Fungicide is also recommended such as RootShield.
