According to information that i have gathered, the root system needs to be completely suspended in air. being completely saturated by nutrients from a mister capable of droplets smaller than 80m... however according to information provided by Wikipedia indicates that if the droplets are too small, the root system will grow too many "root hairs", i mean, the way i read it the root zone will be too bushy and not enough length. which i thought was the goal.... seems to me bushy/hairy roots would be able to absorb a greater amount of nutes through the plant. BUT one of the advantages of a true aero setup is nutrient efficiency. as the roots are only supposed to get sprayed an average of 1% of the time. 99% of the time is spent in the air, receiving no nutrients.... interesting!
so far i have only found journals/info (internet search) from folks using aero/hydro setups, not strickly aero... maybe im missing a major design flaw.... maybe its not viable at this point in time.... i thought there would be many more people attempting this method.... hmm
anyway im looking for feedback from people with experience using this method.... please list pro's/con's, links, pics, or other info regarding this subject. especially regarding methods of properly, and reliably atomizing the nute solution, finding the right balance. so as to promote the proper size/shape of the roots....
thanks in advance
