Aerojet - Two Tray Hydroponic System
Gardeners can get aggressive growth rates with the power of aeroponics and the Two-Tray Aerojet expandable hydrogarden. The Microjets in this system spray plant roots with nutrient solution while simultaneously delivering high levels of oxygen, creating an ideal growing environment for your plants. Mist settings can be switched from continuous to periodic bursts of one-minute-on and four-minutes-off as needed. Includes high-output 350 gallon per hour pump, fittings, ten gallon reservoir, and two trays with six four-inch net pots each.

Aerojet - Four Tray Hydroponic System
Gardeners can get aggressive growth rates with the power of aeroponics and the Four-Tray Aerojet expandable hydrogarden. Microjets spray plant roots with nutrient solution while simultaneously delivering high levels of oxygen, creating an ideal growing environment. Mist settings can be switched from continuous to periodic bursts of one-minute-on and four-minutes-off. Includes high-output 550 gallon per hour pump, fittings, 20 gallon reservoir, and four trays with six four-inch net pots each.

The basic principle of aeroponic growing is to grow plants suspended in a closed or semi-closed environment by spraying the plant's dangling roots and lower stem with an atomized, nutrient-rich water solution. The leaves and crown, often called the "canopy", extend above. The roots of the plant are separated by the plant support structure. Aeroponic growing is considered to be safe and ecologically friendly for producing natural, healthy plants and crops. The main ecological advantages of aeroponics are the conservation of water and energy. When compared to hydroponics, aeroponics offers lower water and energy inputs per square meter of growing area.[citation needed] When used commercially, aeroponics uses one-tenth of the water otherwise necessary to grow the crop but this can be reduced to as little as one-twentieth. Aeroponics can limit disease transmission since plant-to-plant contact is reduced and each spray pulse can be sterile. In the case of soil, aggregate, or other media, disease can spread throughout the growth media, infecting many plants. In most greenhouses these solid media require sterilization after each crop and, in many cases, they are simply discarded and replaced with fresh, sterile media. A distinct advantage of aeroponic technology is that if a particular plant does become diseased, it can be quickly removed from the plant support structure without disrupting or infecting the other plants. The AEROJET is a true aeroponic system, not a deep flow hydro-aeroponic system. Microjets spray the roots of the plants allowing for aggressive growth rates due to the high levels of oxygen delivered to the root zone. |
