Multiponics High Pressure Aeroponics???

[microbial warlock]

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about trying out aeroponics on my next run. I've done a lot of research and I think that this local company called multiponics makes the best well build system and there price is fair. Does anyone have any experience growing with the 6800 or 8800 High Pressure Aeroponic system from Multiponics? I'm going to start my next run in a month so I need some advice on what system people get the best results from.

high pressure aeroponics are more of a hobby, then a proven method at this point. i would look into it first before dive in head first and waste all your money,
you can find a lot of info in the aerogardeners forum. were really into it there

The allure of hpa is the 30-80 micron size of the nutrient mist produces a very delicate but intricate root structure, similar to cotton candy

The problem is these fine root hairs are extremely sensitive to heat, which can be caused by ambient temps as well as lamp heat baking on the lid

I do not have a controlled environment which makes maintaining the ideal parameters impossible, but I learned a lot over 2 years of trying to dial it in.

I have developed what I believe is a much better system (certainly more practical) using Hydro Halo Drip Rings. See my thread Drain-to-Waste with 320gp pump then my new thread which is the 2.0 version

HH 1.0 Roots. The lava rock has nooks and crannies that hold a bit of moisture after each feeding. This keeps the roots moist between feedings. Roots attach like spider webs. The entire root ball is very fluffy



If after you read my threads and still want to do hpa, I'll make you a deal on pumps and mist heads

I also have extra pumps and mist heads,solenoids,john guest fittings lots of them from my hpa days. Bottom line if you want to experiment or just have some fun do hpa. If you want to be successful don't do hpa allot better ways to grow.

I have been shopping for an aero kit. The video on the multiponics site is convincing. True enough if you live in CO there probably isn't much concern with heat. The 6800 kit was noted for one system with treefrog pod. The one thing that really makes me think this would work is it's made with food safe plastics. The other systems I viewed were either pvc or not even noted. It's still a high price for an experiment but what do you know unless you try? That with a 1000 watt dual job light fixture would have to produce more than a drought ridden garden outside.
