Hey everyone,
New guy here. Been a long time grower (mostly rdwc) but am looking to get into aeroponics, and I've been making plans to build my own high pressure setup.
Given the reasons why aeroponics works so well, I was wondering if it would be beneficial to put a small trellis in the bucket underneath the net pot to allow the roots to spread out and gain more exposure to the sprayers? When the root mass grows into a big ball, I could theoretically see some of the interior roots being starved because the misters (especially low pressure systems) aren't going to penetrate. I was thinking about it, and had just wondered if it might be possible to apply the scrog idea to the roots using a trellis mounted somewhere under the net pot (supposing you are using a bucket or tote that has space for it).
So, does this sound crazy? Would it even work? Supposing the roots don't weave their way in and out of the trellis, could you do it manually like in a scrog? I don't have a system built at the moment otherwise I'd try it myself. Any ideas? Or am I just an idiot?
