I´ve spent at least 2 hours looking around for a clear set of instructions for a DYI aeroponics. Thanks a lot!

In reply to Js. What verities are you using and how fresh are the seeds? Also what temperature are you keeping them at?

Those seeds sprouted in 2 days? Wow. I’m sprouting lettuce using the same method and it takes ~7d at minimum.

Sounds like an excellent way to keep plants alive while out of town for a week or so. Would you feel safe leaving this setup alone for a week?

My wife accuses me of liking gadgets, etc. to fool with more than the produce I grow. She’s probably right, as usual. Thanks for the ideas!

In reply to Scott. The water level stays relatively stable. But we swapped out the solution weekly just so we had fresh concentrates and to increase the dosage as the plant matures and grows. Honestly I should do it more often due to the small volume and the increasing root mass. But it worked as a fun experiment.

Hello this is a great idea and I appreciate how much effort you put into explaining everything. I was curious though, how often you needed to add water and plant nutrients? I’m guessing you add water only to keep it at the approximately 6in marks as you talked about, but what about the nutrients?

In reply to Mike Kilgallen. I actually Run it all the time. It works great, the roots like a little warmth and it doesn't get out of control luckily. Just make sure you have enough water in it so the heat is more defused.

Nice demonstration. Very clear and concise, easy to follow.. I do have one question though. With the mister, do you cycle the process on a timer? I have seen demo’s where it is said that the transducers produce heat if left on all the time. So, do you put it on a timer or allow it to run 24 hours?
Thank You

This is an excellent write up! I really like how you make this entire process as simple as you could. I also liked that you followed through to show the plant growth, versus plant growth in soil. I want to take this one step further and also compare this method to other methods such as Drip, ebb/flow, NFT, etc. This method seems relatively simple, cost effective, and excellent results.

Thank you very much for taking the time to create this guide!! 🙂
