Hello,
I'm in the midst of my first aeroponics grow, the plants are looking most excellent. I built this aero system using a plastic tub with a pvc manifold. The drain water drains out of the system tub into a separate reservoir. Due to heat issues, I went with LED's. Humboldt nutes. RO water. 396gpm pump.
I started the seeds in rockwool starters, then placed them in the center hole of 5" net pot lids. Once they germinated and grew some roots, I put them in my system, no net pot, just the 5" lid dangling the roots in my tub.
My tallest plant, the most beautiful LSD a person could want, is about 16" tall. When I got up this morning it was kind of laying over to the side. It's like 'hinging' right where the plant goes through the rockwool, through the lid, there isn't anything holding it. It's like a teeter-totter standing straight up, pivoting in the middle, the roots being one seat and the top of the plant being the other.
How do you 'suspend' your plants? How do you keep them stable? Now I'm kind of freaking....what if they like fall through or something? Like a hippie bugs bunny in my tub pulling my plants through.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
