Hello everybody ! First respect all for they job , second please escuse my english!
I want to buy an aeroponic sistem to hold 10 up to 20 plants .
What Showuld I buy , from where ? I saw the hydroponics.eu some systems, but since I know nothing about them, do not know how good they are.
So far I have only grown in soil , so I have some questions if you are nice I do not understand !
1 . As soil is not used, where to put plants in more exact, I have seen it something like balls, but what exactly is that substrate?
2 . Besides those "balls" and the system and lights, what would I need?

If anyone has used or has information on this system, please help me !
Thank`s everybody.

Hi, Firstly im guessing the balls yuo are referring to are clay pellets, when your using an aeroponics system you hang net pots through holes in the top of your system, you then fill those pots with a substance (usually rockwool) in order for your plants to sit in. If its your first aeroponics grow i would recommend that you make your own, you will need to buy a bubbler (easily available on the net) and the net pots but all the rest can be found here and there (i dont know what country your in but any DIY shop will probs have all other stuff). Its dead easy to do and itll give you a good understanding of how the system works, so you can go into your next grow knowing exactly how you want to take it forward.
Best of luck,

check out the aeroflo14 its not a true areoponics but its a lot easier to work with and the results are top class, aeroponics can be a pain with misters clogging up etc so if its your first time hydro then i,d look at aeroflo rather than aeroponics

i use areoponics wiv a system that was made for me & i converted the pipework as the roots go mad and are monsterious in Areo system . yes u will need timers, the timer for your feed pumps need to be a minite timer (not a 15 min segement timer) u'll need a few timers for dif things , gotta have a good PH & EC meter (or PPM whatever you prefer) but you need good readings so buy a good set of meters.

no you use clay pebbles in a 4inch pot , this system even allows you to bring your cutting on in it , you see the channels ? well you decide what depth you want the water by pushing a tube to your required depth so if your working with clones you want it deep so the cuttings are sitting in the water and the constant flow of water brings them on nice , , just cut a 2 litre bottle in 1/2 to sit over the clones , just as humidity dome , and when the roots start to develop you start making the channel shallower so the more air is running through , honest when you get a few roots the plants will explode, i used gh 3 part nutes with mine

Hi,The technology is greenhouse vegetable cultivation in the bio box, without soil, hanging in the biological roots of vegetables inside, by the nutrients in the form of gas spray to the roots of vegetables, for its growth. Cultivation of vegetables, this method does not require a lot of water, boxes of vegetables, only in the biological roots need water, irrigation is controlled by computer, is to save water. Maybe can help u !

Hi, first of all i would like to give my greetings to the people holding the forum (great job)!
Secondly I would recommend you to start with hydroponic system before using an aeroponic system. This is only my personal experience, however if you want a good I really suggest you to buy the general hydroponics manufacture types.
I grow in aeroponic and this little guide has been really helpfull:

- Good luck and green greetings!

If I were you id go for the 10 over the 20, & if you go for the aeroflow14, dont forget to leave 4 holes empty ;)
