Dude I just bought a system similar to this but only for 10 pots with 30 gallon res. I think the concept and design are good and the price can't be beat. Been building my grow room this week and prepping seeds so I will know, and post, my results.

eBay: 12 Plant Aeroponic Hydroponic Complete Compact System (item 140053671984 end time Dec-15-06 20:13:27 PST)

my very first grow ever was with one that looked like that but it was a hydroponic drip-kit. the kit ended up working very well. if you go from growing in soil to growing in some type of hydro system you will see how big the plants get at such an early age. the only problem i ran into with the kit was once the plants started hitting about 3 weeks old the roots in the reservoir started getting matted together, and eventually shaping the form of the res. the bad part about that was i had 6 plants in the kit and only one turned out to be female, so i had to cut the roots from the other plants away from the female roots. other than that you should have a good grow with those kits.

double - what kind of lighting were you using?

Dude I am fucking moron... I didn't look at that listing very close. I got the same drip kit for 10 pots. I am very interested in your methods... what type of nutes, lights, etc?

I built my own for less, using fogger heads instead of spray nozzles. I think the item description is pretty vauge as to what they are actually going to sell you for the ammount stated. It could be ANY timer (you should use a repeat cycle timer in an areoponic setup), the depth of the actual "grow tub" seems awefully small. You will either have to continually prune your roots or force flower early.

well ill look today for another system then and tell me if its a good one

I have just purchased a few of the Aerojet 6 tray systems. I am very excited to get them rolling. Has anyone had any experiences with the Aerojet systems? I have heard that the spray nozles tend to clog. Any experiences or imput. Also anyone using Fox Farm for hydro or Aero?

stay hi

The spray nozzles may clog depending on what kind of nute's used. I am running a 200 mesh inline filter between my resevoir and pump to catch anything that may clog the spray heads. It is alot easier to clean a screen then spray heads. I know you can find them locally at most RV dealers or online at dripworks.

Thanks Burningdown
Can you give me any tips with nutes. What are you using. I was thinking about using fox farm, but have decided against it due to the fact that being organic, it has larger particles that will clogg heads, (so I have been told) What do you use. Also how often do you do a system flush. Do you flush when you add nutes ? Please fill me in with any help you can
