How much does aeroponics increase results?

There is still plenty to mess up with soil, especially if you listen to the "experts" on here.

Yes, the only things I care about (aside from quality) are money in vs value out as well. I have an excellent idea about how much per month this costs me, and I keep detailed records about plant health, harvest, environmental conditions and my own observations.

Uh huh, so you ran aero and quit it? You did all forms of hydro except nft and aqp.

Got pics of what you're growing now or no? I like to verify that the people I am talking to can, in fact, grow healthy plants.
meow, this is old, didn’t notice. I could show you pics but I won’t bother, so over that nonsense, been on boards since OG, thousands of pics, dozens of stickies and how to threads, now I just prefer to talk to people, if they need proof then forget about it. Boring.

And if we are being real. Every aeroponic garden I have ever seen is really nft with a little spray. Roots hitting a trove? That’s nft

What y’all think?

Have enough room for my roots and reservoir at the bottom.
Yes, I’ve covered the yellow with aluminum paper
pretty cool. DIY rocks.

how much water will sit in the bottom of the tote? it's almost like a SWC/LPA combo.

Bout a 1/4” will sit at the bottom. Res is 7 gal.

I’ve done dwc in the past, don’t think it’s too healthy to have roots fully submerged. If so, you need tons of bubbles.

Yup, it is ok. Maybe 10 more years of growing and you’ll look back and think, “wtf was I thinking.” Maybe not.

It’s healthy enough. I prefer high volume recirc dwc with waterfall to get rid of the bubbles to be honest. Walk into a garden with a nice waterfall after being used to spray nozzles or air pumps is like heaven.

But you don't have any pics though, so just take your word for it? Clown.

So with co2 and 1056 watts of light what kind of yield are you getting? I would expect a minimum of 2 pounds with soilless in pots.
