Aeroponic Systems
|
In an aeroponic system a plant is generally placed into a small basket of expanded clay. The basket is them placed into a much larger lightproof tank. The tank does not contain any growing media. The tank has a series of spray jets that are used to spray a fine mist of nutrient onto the basket and throughout the inside of the tank. The mist keeps the growing media in the basket moist and feeds the plants. As the root system of the plant grows it enters the tank where it hangs freely and is kept moist by the mist that is emitted from the spray jets, which are typically run 24hrs a day. Since the roots maintain a constant temperature, this can bring about explosive growth.
The aeroponic systems on offer at Greenthings are the Amazon systems, and the AeroGarden, |

NFT System (Nutrient Film Technique)
|
The NFT system is an efficient system, where a thin film of nutrient is constantly recycles through the roots of the plants. which can be held in small cups containing Perlite. The Perlite absorbs the nutrient and larger roots form at the base of the system. The NFT system constantly feeds the plant with nutrients, and the roots zone is kept at a constant temperature, this can vastly reduce growing times.
Here at Greenthings we can offer you, the Gro Tanks 205, 424, and 604. |
