garden of ease, aeroponic

[xmegademonx]

i just bought a aeroponic system called Garden of Ease. instead of misters near the roots, it's water splashing by the water pump's force hitting on the center of the system. has anyone tried this system before?
here is the link to it.
Discount Hydroponics - Garden Of Ease

UPDATE: this system is really good. it seemed that the roots weren't getting enough moisture to me but the plants are doing better than ever. roots are getting bigger and bushier everytime i take a peak at it

Ive considered purchasing one of these but the General Hydroponic version (see pic) however with that version & the one you are using the space in between the net pots seem very small, the light may not penetrate to the middle section of the plant due to the foliage unless you use the lollipop method, I even considered the "General Hydroponics 6 six Rainforest" (see pic) but again the space in between the netpot are too small but then again Im new to this Im not so sure.

Let me know your opinions on this system I may purchase one as aeroponic start up grow.

there is a water level kit that comes with the setup and it tells u how much water the reservoir has and how much water it should have. i think if u fill it up to the max level, it should last u about a month

i think that when the roots are long enough, the roots will be too close to the pump. im thinking of putting a net around the pump to prevent roots from going in or something.
or i think i can take all the rocks out of the net and leave only root hanging.

I think it would be a good idea to attach a thin sponge around the pump so roots & little bits of debris do not get sucked in.
Also I was wondering would the leaves from all plants over crowd each other because of close proximity?

I used this system for a long time , put a airstone in the res for even better results. it really sux though when ur flowering and ur plant is liek 8 weeks in and u have to lift the top to change to res water... thats why i only used it for a veg system. Also this system is seriously critical, one small mistake and everything will die so be careful

im thinking of using scrog with this setup cuz of that.

i thought my soil plant was a female because it looked as if it was budding, but it ended up being bunch of balls had to kill that mofo only have aero plants now

 

[xmegademonx]

UPDATE on my aero
K i got rid of the biggest in my aero cuz it was a male and for next 5 days, I kept my plants 18/6 to make them again. they turned out fuking big when i checked after thanksgiving weekend

top right grew A LOT in 5 days.
left ones grew just a little but it did grow

I didnt really care about how small they were. I use the same amount which is around 250w total cfl seedling to flowering.

 

[xmegademonx]

UPDATE: no pics yet, but the plants are HUGE. they are about 15x size of the plants in the last pics. not even trippin. they are huge. i'll post some pics after christmas break though cuz i left the plants at home

 

[xmegademonx]

check out the growth. all of these plants are in 2week and 2 days of flowering.
the plant on the right top of the system is the biggest one, it's basically covering the whole system by itself. Because of this dominating plant, other 2 plants are growing 45 degrees away from this plant. all of these plants are pretty fukin long though.
i still dont c any signs of bud anywhere, although there is a lot of bud sites on all of these plants.

looking good bro!

only thing i would say is the plants could stand to be a little closer to those CFLs... the screen was a great idea (as long as you can still change the res easily)...

also, i wouldn't keep the same water in there for a month, not sure if you are doing that or not, but i read it somewhere in here.

i put the lights higher than usual because i'm away for the holidays, i don't want them to grow too tall and get burned by the lights
o and as the plants grew, the water consumption has increased as well. it takes about 1.5 weeks for them to drink the whole thing. there's a water level indicator so when the water level is low, i just pour in some water with nutes once a week or so.
