I bought an aeroponic system off of eBay. It's similar in design to the Aerospring and FilthyFletch's design elsewhere on this forum, and seems like a good one. I've got a soil grow going on right now and want to clone and go aeroponic soon, but have a few newbie questions:
The sprayers on my system seem to each shoot about about 8 spray streams instead of a true mist... is this normal or should I change the nozzles to something else?
Also, when I run the system for 5 minutes the water it doesn't seem to hit all the pots consistently, it seem to spray below them, horizontally. Am wondering if I let it run longer if it will just mist up inside after a while and get into the medium more due to mist. I guess I could try it but it takes quite a bit of water to fill up the reservoir to cover the pump so I thought I'd just ask here and save the water for my plants.
And finally... when I go to clones can I immediately put the clones into rockwool and in my aeroponic system, turn it on and voila? As long as I put a humidity dome on it I mean. Or just use a dome for a while and then put them in the system later? Thanks, love the site.
