Default Aerofarm or Ecogrower which shall I buy?
I have a 70 x 70 cm grow area & in a weeks time Ill be buying a hydroponics system for veging & flowering after ages of research Ive narowed it down to the "Aerofarm" & the "Ecogrower".

Ive heard great things about the aero farm but Im worried that the 2" net pot wont hold the plants up properly and If the roots get a little too long they could affect the reservoir sprayer.


As for the Ecogrower Im afraid if the plants get bushy will their be enough room in the grow are (remember my grow are is only 70 x 70 cm). Ive I do purchase this Ill be using a air ring in the reservoir to oxygenate the water to help growth.

Ill be using 400w HPS (in cooltubes) if itmakes a difference.

Any advice thought s would be really helpfull.

If your roots get too big you can always give them a haircut. WM

HE HE.

Your right, but what about the fact that the aerofarm only hold your plants in 2" net pots & the Ecogrower in 6" would that make a difference?

But more than anything Id like to grower in the ecogrower because it holds 6 plants but then again the Aerofarm has great reviews AAAAAAAAAAA I just cant decide guy I need your help.

What do you prefer Aeroponics or drip system?

Get the Ecogrower... The aerofarm looks cheap and un weildy to me.

But then again my true answer would be neither..

Default I have an ecogrower
I just completed my 1st grow in a an ecogrower.....harvesting tonight. I had six plants going and 5 were male! horrible luck. My one Female is a champ. It looks as if I may reap 2.5 z's from her. I have 2 problems with the ecogrower:
1. The plants crowd each other and thus block a ton of light to the lower leaves. On my second grow I will put a max of three plants in.
2. The grower is 3 feet tall so your little lady starts at a height of 3 feet which may limit your ability to grow a tall plant depending on the height of your room. My room has 10ft ceilings and I am hanging my light down about a foot from the ceiling which gave me about 5 ft of growing room. My lady wanted to be taller but I had to tie her up and trim that her bush.

Lastly, I must of purchased a defective unit bec. mine developed some hairline cracks at the bottom which leaked water (in the middle of flowering). I called GH and they not only sent me a new one with out a receipt but threw in a bunch of free nutes and a t-shirt to boot. Great customer service! I will be a loyal customer forever.

I think you could make a better aero-farm for a lot cheaper. The price tag on those things is a rip

I must have been baked when I posted that. It was the other guy who wanted to know about the eco-growers.
