Aero-Hydroponic Systems
|
|
|
|
|
Aero-hydroponics is a superior form of hydroponic gardening that produces highly oxygenated nutrient solution directly to the root of the plants without the need for a supporting media. The equipment required is somewhat more complicated than other hydroponic methods, but there is a great advantage in that once an aero-hydroponic system is set up, it will run almost indefinitely without additional investment in such disposable components as growing media and non-recirculating nutrients.
What is most surprising about aero-hydroponics is not how it works, but why plants grow better. The key is dissolved oxygen at the root boundary zone.
In aero-hydroponics, the nutrient solution is sprayed through the air in order to infuse the nutrient with dissolved oxygen. The method differs from classic aeroponics in that most of the plant's roots are not suspended in air and fed by a spray of nutrient solution; rather, the majority of the roots are submerged in oxygen-infused nutrient which is in constant motion in order to maintain high levels of dissolved oxygen at the root boundary zone where oxygen and nutrients are taken in by the plant.
AeroFlo systems are designed and built by General Hydroponics following the true Aero-hydroponic method. It consists of a reservoir placed below the growing chambers, which support the plants. The nutrient in this system is changed every two weeks and the pH is adjusted to 5.5 to 6.5 and nutrient conductivity is maintained at about 800 to 1200 ppm. |

|
|
|
|
Since there is no growing medium, except for a handful of "GROROX" at each plant site, pH remains very stable and only requires an initial adjustment when mixing fresh nutrient if the water supply is of good quality.
The AERO-HYDROPONIC METHOD is without doubt the most advanced hydroponic method that has been developed to date. The cost of constructing and installing systems, plus the complications of obtaining licensing, have been deterrents to widespread commercial application. This is changing as commercial growers, researchers, serious hydroponic gardeners and backyard enthusiasts become aware of the capabilities and value of aero-hydroponics. |

AeroFlo2 20
Aero-Hydroponic System
by General Hydroponics®
The AeroFlo2 20-Site System is an excellent choice for growing small crops such as lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, basil, and other herbs. Varieties of flowers and determinate tomatoes which do not grow taller than three feet will also do well.
This model measures 14 inches wide, 84 inches in length and 20 inches tall. |
|
|
|
|
|
It is important to note that rapidly growing plants need to be maintained. Vines may require trellising (external support). Fruit and flowers must be harvested in a timely manner. New plants must be started as older plants complete their life cycles. Running an AeroFlo is like driving a very fast car, the grower must look ahead and anticipate what's to come.
The AeroFlo2 20 site system includes everything you need to get started including a generous 8 gallon reservoir, two individual 6 foot long growing chambers, Mag Drive #3 submersible pump, injection manifold, support structure, twenty 3 inch grow cups, Coco cups, Grorox, 3 part Flora Nutrients and complete instructions. This unit ships in two boxes. |

AeroFlo2 60
Aero-Hydroponic
System
by General
Hydroponics®
Extremely flexible, the new Aeroflo2 60-Site System with all six chambers on one side is shown at left. This configuration is excellent for small crops such as lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, basil and other herbs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plant varieties, including tomatoes which do not grow taller than three feet will also do well.
The Aeroflo2 60-Site System can alternatively be configured with three chambers on each side of the reservoir. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This allows greater access to plant sites and is better suited to larger crops such as peppers and tomatoes. The configuration option is your choice and can easily be changed from one to another.
The Aeroflo2 60-Site System is easily expanded with a new modular design. Below, a second system has been added to the first.
The included pump is powerful enough to drive two complete systems, for a total of 120 plant sites. |
