questions about aeroponics.

well, i'm going to start buying things to stars an aeroponics grow in a tub but i have a question first...

how does the pump work?

i'm just trying to get information before i go to the store and buy everything.

thanks

sorry for bumping but i really need to know where i would keep my reservoir.. and how it could connect to the pump.

my pump is connected to 1/2 inch pvc tubes, that i then drilled holes into and put in ez-clone 360 sprayers. My whole setup is in an 18gal tote(for cloning). But no reason you can use a 5gal bucket or something with your pump in the bucket and pvc pipe connecting the pump to you misters

aeroponics doesn't require much water, keep you resivour small as possible less ph upper/downer, nutrients have to be added

I use a 40 gallon reservoir. But I have a huge table too. External pump is the only way i'd go.

what size bucket should i need for about 5-6 plants and what size pump?

I would recommend at least a 20 gallon tub for a smaller garden like yours. The larger the easier to control ppm and ph. With a 20 gallon you are probably only going to have about 15 gallons of water in it anyway. Pump size depends on how many sprayers, but again I would go large as you can. The more pressure the finer the spray. I would guess about 100 gph for every nozzle.

check out stinkbuds setup it will give u a better idea of what ur gettin in to.

Aeroponics is one of the BEST methods i think i kno for sure plant growth is quicker over DWC.yo RobMar tat setup is pretty badass is that a water purifier built in? fukin genius

I have 70 sprayers and I use a 1900 gph pump. More than enough pressure. For 6 plants I'd go with no less than 500 gph. Just my 2 cents. I went through 3 pumps. Hey that reminds me...I have a brand new pump that I tried and wasn't strong enough. I bought it online so there are no refunds. I'll sell it cheap if you want it....Its quiet too

Another thought for you to consider. I like to use large coolers for my resevoirs and my cloners. I am talking about the 100 - 120 qt. picnic kind they are a little more money but they seal tight, water doesn't splash out, light doesn't get in, and mine came with a drain that a garden hose fits on for easy draining. IMO well worth a few extra bucks.
