Aeroponic Hydroponic Technology

The Most Advanced Hydroponic
System Currently Available

Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air/mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate media. Aeroponic systems are favored over other methods of hydroponics because the increased aeration of nutrient solution delivers more oxygen to plant roots, stimulating growth and preventing pathogen formation.

Hydroponics vs. Soil Showdown

The Hydroponically Grown Plant is the Clear Winner

Aeroponic plant growth is sustained by the intermittent spray of a hydro-atomized nutrient solution as it remains suspended in air. In a true hydroponic apparatus, the plant's root system is totally submerged in water ('hydro'); while growing geoponically requires the plant to naturally root itself in soil/ground ('geo').

In an aeroponic system, however, the plant is suspended into an enclosed air environment where the lower portion stem and roots protrude into a hydro-atomized nutrient solution and environment. The leaves and crown of the plant extended above into air. The root and crown of the plant are separated by the plant support structure. The lowest stem portion and root system are sprayed/misted for short durations with a hydro-atomized pure water/nutrient solution.

Here a common tulip is grown hydroponically. You can see the fast root development and vegetative production in about 29 days. The plant has gone from bulb to flowering in record setting time using hydroponics.

Tulips Growth Progression in Hydroponics

Aeroponic growing is considered to be safe and ecologically friendly for producing natural healthy plants and crops. The main ecology advantages of aeroponics are water and energy conservation. When compared to hydroponics, aeroponics offers lower water and energy inputs per sq meter of growing area.

Plants Grown in Hydroponics vs. Soil - Science

Plants grown in hydroponics have many advantages to that of those grown in soil. First and foremost is accelerated growth rate. This is achieved because the plant simply extracts it's nutrients and oxygen directly from the water solution. Because the oxygen and nutrients is so easily available to the plant, it needs a much smaller root structure than the same since plant grown in soil. Therefore the plant can spend more of it's precious energy growing above ground, as it quickly vegetates in to a large and healthy plant. White roots are the sign of a vigorous plant.
