Let's talk about Aeroponics

I'd like to talk about growing in general and the concepts that produce fast growth. I will keep it simple so everyone can understand.

Plants have needs just like you and me. The biggest difference is that plants make their own food. To put it simply, plants make sugar and the sugars power plant growth.

So what does a plant need to make sugar? Carbon, Oxygen, Water and Light. They also need small amounts of nutrients and of course Chlorophyll.

The plants take in the Carbon (CO2) through the leaves. They take in water and nutrients through the roots. What most people don't know is that plants also take in Oxygen through their roots.

Because plants give off Oxygen many believe O2 is a non issue. In realty it's usually the determining factor in maximum plant growth. If you look at what a plant needs it's obvious where the bottle necks occur.

Light is the most important element in any growing. Light is what powers photosynthesis. The more light the faster the plants grow, it's that simple.

Water and nutrients are a non issue. Why? Who has ever had a problem over watering and over fertilizing? I have. It's easy to give too much water and drown your roots. Too much nutrients and you burn the shit out of them. So the problem is not giving the plants enough water and nutrients...it's usually giving them too much!

Carbon is one of the building blocks of sugar. The plant needs lots of CO2 for fast growth. Normal air is between 200-500 PPM. Not much compared to what the plant can actually use. Plants can easily use 1500 PPM or more.

Oxygen is probably the most overlooked elements in plant growth. Even though plants give off more O2 than they take in, they still use a lot of Oxygen in the sugars they make.

My system addresses each one of these issues.

  • Light is right. You already know how to add more light.
  • Water and Nutrients are fed and monitored perfectly.
  • Carbon is added with a CO2 system.
  • Oxygen is the main advantage of my Aeroponic system.

Think of it this way...the plant breaths in Oxygen through its roots and out through its leaves.

So imagine yourself a plant and let's do a test:

  1. Dig a hole in some dirt. Stick your head in it and fill it back up. Now take a deep breath. This is what growing is soil is like.
  2. Now fill a container with water and stick your head in it. Oh yea, don't forget to add some air stones first. Now take a deep breath. This is DWC.
  3. Now just take a normal deep breath. This is Aeroponics.

Am I getting my point across?
