Cool Aeroponic Newb questions.
Ok, so how is everyone doing. I am assuming, in a great state of mind.

Anyway, recently I setup a deep water culture system (my first attempt), and so far it seems to be doing ok. However after observing the plants progress upto this point, it seems that they are not growing any more, and the root development seems stunted.

At this point I relize that I might need to go aeroponic to really get a good crop. While I have no problems understanding the concepts of aeroponics, I do need some assistance in the type of nutrients I will need to make this work.

First off, what type of nutrients does a fogger or fine mister work with? The nutrients I use now are "FoxFarm Big Bloom", and "FoxFarm Grow Big" The Grow Big does not have any particles that could clog a mister or fogger, however the Big Bloom is made from things like Earthworm Castings, Bat Guano, and other solids. So even though Big Bloom is mostly liquid, these particles can clog foggers, and misters.

What type of Lighting do I need? I hear alot about HID, but I am not sure which HID light is best, what wattag do I need.

My last question is What HP of Water Pump am I going to need to get a good fine mist? (I would get a fogger, but they are a little outside of my budget)


Any information you can provide or direct me too, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Atrumblood
