Hey guys,

I just set up my HPA system in a grow tent in a closet. That closet is more of a storage area in a very old house, so it’s not really heated. I’m in the northeast and it’s getting quite cold and my seedlings are not growing very well. What are some efficient ways to keep the tent warm?

I’m worried something like a space heater could be potentially dangerous in the case something blows. Maybe a heat lamp or something for reptiles?

I'm building my HP system; I will have 140 PSI at my disposal. Everything will be in a 6mm Slip Lock system. Maybe someone knows which nozzles would be best for me. Thanks and best regards.

Buen día a todos los que lean ! Inicie un sistema de aeroponia pero no logro dar en el clavo, mis plantas van muriendo lentamente ( hago fresas ) trato de mantener un ph de 6 y una CE de 1000 (1.0) que nunca baja, evidentemente no consumen nutrientes) Tengo riegos diferentes según la torre vertical ( 3 horas de no riego y 15 minutos de riego ) o ( 2 horas de no riego y 15 minutos de riego ) o ( 45 minutos de no riego y 15 de riego ) veo casi lo mismo en todas las torres. El riego es con agua sin boquillas, es una lluvia espesa que moja bien todo. Tengotodo indoor con 16 horas de luz ( sistema de led hortícola ) controló l humedad ( día 70 % noche lo máximo posible con humidificador ) La verdad estoy perdido alguna ayuda ?

I stumbled across this prefab system and it looks like the exact aero setup I’ve been planning to build, only it uses hydroponics.

I’m already going over in my head how to change it over to use misting heads.

Whaddya think? Sound doable?

I’m new to aeroponics and am designing my first system. Definitely looking to do a high pressure system for growing vegetables.

I am seeing that tower systems are pretty popular right now, but I’m just not sure what the benefit would be compared to stacked trays?

Seems like it would just be harder to get the lights all the way around. Am I not seeing something?

Hello ,

I got this item ; https://www.alienhydroponics.co.uk/Shop/aero-black-series-parts/rain-brain/

it say's :

• Choose between 10 ‘Run Time’ settings from 15 seconds to 5 minutes
• Choose between 12 ‘Frequency’ settings from 30 minutes to 7 days

I've seen people watering less during night time in aéroponic grow, but this item does not reconize day or night time . . .

So far I'm watering 5 minutes every 30 minutes if I'm not wrong... so I can't do more
What is your suggestion about setting this timer in a aeroponic system?

Thanks for your kindness

Anyone here used a UV light in their nutrient solution tank? I just relaunched my setup and noticed some algae growth. I have been using the granule form of bleach, but I have found that has lead to rust build up on my misting heads. I have seen that people use UV lights in their fish tanks to keep algae and viruses at bay. I am wondering if any one here has experience with one. I ordered the GKM9W to add to my setup. Is it worth it or should I immediately return it?

Hello! Looking to build a DIY aeroponics system. I think I have an outline for the system, but wanted folks opinions on the material.

I have seen conflicting opinions and information on this. But Home Depot for example sells SCH 40 NSF DWV plumbing PVC. Is that safe for food? I have read that if you use it indoors and as long as it has SCH 40/NSF-61 as well as DWV, then it is probably safe. But that was from 10 years ago.

Thank you!

I need to make a test setup but don't have the room for a dedicated space so I have to make do with a setup In my bedroom. Is it possible to contain the environment and setup in some kind of tent or specialised system to avoid letting the humidity and light escape.

What's a good entry level DIY aeroponic system and what's the cost?

I'm trying to grow horseradish.

I'm thinking of growing horseradish aeroponically. But I've never grown anything hydroponics or aeroponics. There seems to be not as much info on root crops let alone horseradish using an aeroponic system.

Any thoughts or information would be appreciated.

I've searched the interweb and just can't seem to get a simple (likely quite stupid) question resolved. If a plant gets to a size where it's stem has outgrown the collar on the grow basket, do you just ... cut it off and toss it? It's too late too simply push the substrate sponge out of the cage.

I never thought my tomato would get this large and vigorous. I started it in a countertop system; it got around 15" and I put the whole conical basket (sponge still inside) into a kratky container. Now the stem is growing larger than the collar.

Should I cut it off? I have a spot in a new 5-gallon system I could move it to.

I'm from Philippines and would really love to learn and know more about aeroponics. What is the set-up or investment cost and operating cost. I am having so much inspiration from the videos of agrotonomy tower farms. I hope you will be able to help me and if there is any farm here in the Philippines thar maybe i could visit and have some training. Or maybe some recommendations on where I could have a training. Comments are highly appreciated. Thank you 🤗

Newbie here, currently in the ideation stage of building an HPA setup. I understand the need for an accumulator tank in an HPA setup. However, since I am just starting out, I do not want to spend too much money initially. Where I live, I can buy a decent diaphragm pump capable of 120 PSI for about $9 but a tank costs almost $100. Is it possible to hookup a solenoid ($5) between the line and the pump output, run the pump with solenoid valve closed, open the solenoid for 5-10 seconds once the pressure builds up to about 100 PSI and close the pump and solenoid after. I am guessing the resulting spray should last for 5-10 seconds at 80-100 PSI pressure. This entire sequence will be controlled by an Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

Appreciate any input about pros/cons of this approach. I do understand that the pump will wear out sooner with this arrangement but since I am just building a proof of concept, I am ok with that. If everything else works out, I'll definitely add a accumulator tank.

So i recently saw ads of tower farming by agrotonomy on Instagram. I want to start this in a commercial way but it is not introduced in Pakistan. The setup cost is too high so i am thinking to make a tower or two DIY. I was thinking to try and copy the agrotonomy tower as much as possible.But i want to do it as a business. any recommendations on how to start and all. I plan to do it outdoors. Is it feasible to do in Pakistan as pretty much most of the farming here is traditional and i plan to introduce this type of farming in Pakistan. My plan is to slowly make my own aeroponic farm and once i learn it i make setups for people as well. suggest what to do and any tips and caveats in the whole process. I dont have any farming experience but my father has had a career in the agriculture sector.
any help and guidance would be appreciated.

I posted a video the other day and for some reason it violates Reddit filters. I've been sending messages to the moderator to find out why but I get no response.

I came to Reddit 4 years ago and a bunch of kids where talking trash on adults so I replied and got bombed with down votes. I later found out that this affects your ability to post. In other words it's a social credit score just like they use in China. I said to hell with this I'll have no part in a system that operates this way. In the last year I was looking for info on HP aeroponics and ran across this site, completely forgetting that this was the place with the communist style system for posting. I have been posting r/aeorponics without any problems until I put a video of my system up only to find out it had been removed by some filter with no explanation, I haven't been able by searching to figure what it's for. In closing I'd like to say I brought more to Reddit than I took. No one had a complete list of what it took to build a HPA system for the newbies without expensive pumps and the like, I spent hours putting one together, no one had a way to get rid of algae and other pathogens easily and no one was growing food on a large scale. Lots of weed but no food, no one seemed to know where to get a pressure tank with a high internal bladder pressure but I figured it out. I was glad to contribute.

I've deleting my post's and leaving this communist version of a social credit system. You can leave all the comments you want but I won't see them I gone. Reddit can play their communist games with someone else. There's to many good places to post to but up with this crap.

Link them if you have

Hello I’m doing a diy aeroponic cloner with a diaphragm pump outside the container so the water doesn’t get heated up. What should my timer cycle for misters

Hey all… I am fairly new to aeroponics. I have two 24 cell Viagrow systems. My first experience with aeroponics was extremely successful with several houseplants including tradescsntia and pothos. Yes, those are easy to propagate, but the root growth rate after one week was astonishing.

Anyway, hoping I can get some type of definitive answer on what nutrients I should (or not) be using. I also want to know the order to add to the water. I know silica goes first, followed by cal-mag, but after that, there is little info online.

Here is everything I have available to utilize - and I know I would not use ALL of these at once - but some of these I may have purchased for regular houseplant watering or LECA and not aeroponics, but I include here anyway … so which of these should I use in combination with other things and in what order? I also don’t want to use something if another might be duplicated … just hoping to learn and understand. And if I am missing something, let me know, too. Thanks.

Looking for advice; Plants that have huge root masses at the time of full maturity, will using 5 gallon buckets with a HPA system become defective and cause issues with roots?

What would be some plant box recommendations?

I've been growing aeroponically for over 2 decades in a desert greenhouse. 4 crops a year regardless of heat. I've redesigned everything from pumps to containers to require less maintenance and produce better. Everything's automated. I've looked silently for years, nothing out there comes close to what I do. But quite honestly it's too much information to compile for free. And I'm not even sure what platform would allow it. Would you drop a few bucks to peruse over the brain dump of a bigger better aero grower? I've done the math I know what I'm doing produces more for less than industry, and the startup cost doesn't have to be any higher if you know what you're doing. Feels like I'm stuck somewhere between consulting for industry or helping the masses level up out of tents to better take down industry.
