Coco vs aeroponics - difference in potential?

As I understand, coco and aeroponics are both basically hydroponics, right?

But in aeroponics the roots are basically in air which are constantly being misted with fine mist. Seems like can't get more aeration than that, which seems to be like a good thing, right?

I'm questioning if aeroponic system has the biggest potential business wise when growing plants for speed and mass?

I just went through few articles and all seem to indicate that aeroponics is superior to hydroponics regarding speed of growth mainly because of the fact that oxygen is more readily available for the roots.

It's a known thing that co2 can increase yield by up to 40%.

Can anyone find any info about how much aeroponics could increase yield compared to hydroponics? Would be awesome, even if anyone could guess

Yes......I'm GUESSING someone can "find any info about how much aeroponics could increase yield compared to hydroponics"!!! The family just left - could be the stress talking, I'll go work on that!
Not much room for error with aero, especially on big crops. Short answer.

Not getting it. What stress are you talking about? Although I know there's no room for error with aeroponics, it would be cool to know how much of a yield increase can I expect with this upgrade.
Three major upgrades I made for the sake of mass production last grow were:
1) Digital ballasts with new reflectors.
2) Co2 enrichement
3) light movers
.. and boom - simply doubling my results.

I'm wondering about upgrading to aeroponics now.

You mean if I would "normally" get 3.75 pounds per light which I got last grow, then it would be realistic to expect an increase of about an extra 1 pound which would be 21% increase?

Were you sarcastic or are you talking seriously?

Lol!
