sure piss in it add epsom salt maybe a pot of tea. Mollasses, lots or organic ways to make liquid ferts.

Nope, doesn't work. In Hydro/Aero you need a salt based nutrients in readily available form. A complete plant food. GH 3 part, Dyna Grow, Jack's, Mega Crop to name a few.
The good thing about hydro is you remove as many natural variables as possible. Like organic acids and bacteria cultures affecting pH. You aim for rock stable pH, then you can't run organics. It's just not stable enough in solution. Cheers!

Yes you can grow aeroponics organically using organic liquid fertilizers. But its better to use inorganic liquid fertilizers.
GH has General Organic liquid fertilizers.

True aeroponics is under high pressure. You need a pump with a pressure shutoff switch, and an accumulator. Not to mention the spray heads are not your common fan pattern or 360 spinner. You have to atomize the nutrient solution down to 10 micron droplets, 5 is better.
I was big in HPA many years ago and spent thousands to do it right. What your talking about is Low pressure aero. And either way organics in any aero system is a terrible idea.

Actually I was referring to HPA. The inventors of true aeroponics “Agrihouse”, do sell nutrients that are 100% organic (derived from aquatic sources).
The NASA sponsored scientist states that 50 micron water droplet size is the optimal droplet size. “Agrihouse” actually sells the NASA science engineered nozzles to the public at $10 for two pieces, worth every penny.
Anything less than 10 microns or above 100 microns, it’s no longer effective as a true aeroponics system.
I agree, organic fertilizers is a terrible idea to use on any type of aeroponic systems.

Kelp fertilizer and chitosan are organic. It's more about the cost of filtering so that your nozzles don't clog. The more sediment you filter out the faster your filters wear out. There's absolutely no problem adding certain types of organic fertilizer to HPA systems designed with them in mind.
Hi I started seeds in rockwool and put in 2 inch basket with rockwool all the way on bottom and neoprene sleeve on top I want to throw them in my aero cloner what should I adjust the time to 1 on 5 off may makerockwool to wet so what do you suggest I already have cloner built and want to use it

Remove the rockwool it's not needed.
Okay I just didn't want to mess with it sin e theydoingso well

When you say NASA are you talking about Dr Bugsby?
