This “AeroTote” has 5 slots instead of 6
Will probably cover the cups to prevent algae this time, all the chemicals aren’t working
Eventually I want to add automatic 20-80 micron mist sprayers/water pump/ etc and actually achieve a true AE
I first grew in 2019 with
FFOF, had an outdooor grow with some monsters in 2020 but that was a great learning experience as well and most got ducked by white powdery mildew
started learning about growing and all the different ways/medias of growing
Then naturally, I stumble upon aeroponics, a very advanced way of growing plants with perhaps, a high risk high reward type of way as well.
(Afaik)
it first started with, how do you grow plants in space? Aeroponics was the answer, super efficient for the plants when done right, requires no soil to haul up to space, less water/nutrients, faster growths, etc
So I read and read, have my soil grows start learning the basics, how to read the plants, terms, maximizing potential/growth rates, how it works, the mechanics, how to set things up, and so on
So then time to move to the next thing
Coco - hydro on training wheels
I start coco/perlite mix in some solo cups and begin with unknown seeds from my gf and start cloning.
Some start taking off, roots growing through bottom of cups, then I get the idea to put them in a tote, to start a chamber/res space for the roots
I start misting the roots and then eventually tried a res at the bottom of the tote when the one’s roots were so thick and all the way down to the bottom, and in the middle of teaching my self about coco, a little bit of aero and then hydro.
I’ve learned a decent bit due to this forum
And
@Aquaman coco threads and whoever else has helped along the way, quite a few good friendly people here and threads.
Also Bruce bugbee is the man, the myth, the legend.
Haha
