AEROPONICS

This most advanced of all the hydroponic systems is the Aeroponic System. The Aeroponic System uses a high-powered pump that mixes Oxygen with the liquid nutrient solution.
A feature that stands out with the Aeroponic system is that the roots of the plant are exposed and are sprayed with the liquid nutrient solution in a mist form.
It is important that the Aeroponic system utilizes a timer to ensure that the roots receive adequate amounts of the nutrient solution. The continual misting allows the plant to grow at rapid speeds.
Because the plant can suffer serious damage if the roots are allowed to become dry, it is important to check the misting nozzle heads regularly to make sure that they are not blocked.
