Aeroponics Tower Build – Mixing Nutrient
Aeroponics Tower Build – Mixing Nutrient
Part 3 of the build showing more on the reservoir, how I mix hydroponic nutrient and nutrient levels. Received a number of requests for this so tried to get it out sooner. I’ll do a separate video on how I rotate plants in the tower and manage the system shortly.
Any comments or questions, please drop them in below and I’ll respond as best I can. Thanks again for watching. (Sorry it is a bit shaky – shot it with my phone so had to do everything with one hand 🙂 )
Thanks for your vids mate. You have inspired me & explained it great. I will let you know when I get running. How big is the pump you use?
wow man I’m totally doing this what is the estimated total cost of everything including the client system?
I love the videos. They re very easy to understand and make this a doable project. Thank you so much!
Hi, Can you please share some links on where to buy the nutrient solutions in Australia. I am planning to build my first areoponics system to grow tomatoes and strawberries. I will really appreciate if anyone could share some does and donts.
I know you can get solutions for that on avasva.
Can I use Tap water after removing chlorine. And what should be the setting of water pump. And how much water per plant?
Hi,
My system would be in an enclosed area with controlled lighting by the way. I live in the Czech Republic, wide temperature range.
i presume that your summer temperature can be quite high and since the ideal temperature for aeroponics is between 18 and 26C, how do you cope with summer? Obviously for winter it is possible to heat, if necessary.
Is it reasonable to have a variety of plants in one tower, i.e. the greens etc, plus tomatoes, peppers and strawberries? That would mean that the nutrient solution would be the same for all the plants?
What is the droplet size of your mister?
Would you think that a bilge pump might be suitable, 750 gallons per hour?
It is very kind of you to take the time and trouble to offer advice to the rest of us.
Kind regards,
Geoffrey
but how can you make your own nutrient solution to have a closed system? you know, like compost
So how does the schedule looks like or is there none? Depending on the conditions and the stage of the plants I guess?
I’ve got to get my hands on that mixer! gj thanks!
great job. simple easy to understand.
keep up the good work.
What is in the Hydro..what chemicals.. . would veggies be ‘organic’ ??
Thanks for this, great info!!
Great videos.. Greetings from California-USA.
This is so cool. Is it possible to replace the nutrient mix with water from an aquarium? Like a aqua/areoponics mix? Do you think this setup would work indoors with grow lights? I live on the other side of the world, Sweden, and our summers aren’t long enough(or some years hot enough) to get from seed or sprout to harvest.
Hey Rick, would you say the blue drum system was a success? thinking about making one, would you change anything?
Please will you give us the specifications of your measurement tools and where you find them. Also – where do we find the nutrient requirement details, eg nutrient types and concentrations.
is it any different ppm for hydroponic or aeroponic ???
Great! Thanks for the advice and I’m also thinking of doing it solar powered I’ve found some good deals on water pumps on Amazon, solar panels too it seems very do able! I’ll make it a challenge to build one by next month and make my very first YouTube about it 😉
