Aeroponics + Nutrient Film System combo, the best of two Hydroponics methods

Aeroponics:
The plants are grown in containers or nets which allow the roots to dangle in air above the nutrient solution.   An aeroponics mister pump forces a spray of nutrients through the roots at very frequent intervals.  For example,
one minute of spray followed by 4 minutes of drainage.  The act of spraying ensures that additional oxygen is mixed with the nutrient solution providing an enriched oxygen, nutrient solution that is very beneficial to the plant and results in rapid growth.

Nutrient Film Technique  (NFT):
In the Nutrient Film Technique, the plants are normally contained in plastic pots with slitted bottoms that permit the roots to dangle through to the water and nutrient solution in the channel below.   The bottom of the root system dangles in the water while the upper part of the roots remain in air at all times ensuring that the roots have access to the necessary oxygen.

The Aeroflo hydroponics system combines the NFT system of flowing nutrients over the bottom of the roots AND the aeroponics system of spraying the roots with oxygen enhanced nutrients.  The increase in dissolved oxygen in the nutrient flow plus continuous root access to the nutrient supply results in improved plant growth.

This method differs from classic aeroponics in that the plant’s roots are not just suspended in air and fed by a spray of nutrient solution; rather the roots hang down through an air gap in which the nutrient is sprayed with the bottom of the roots constantly submerged in oxygen-infused nutrient which is in constant motion.  Spraying the nutrient results in enhanced oxygenation of the nutrient which then falls into the moving nutrient solution below.

This system super-oxygenates the nutrient solution to deliver oxygen, water, and nutrients in ideal combinations, thus creating a root zone environment that surpasses anything found in nature.

The unit works well in a warm, well-lit, well ventilated location, such as an outdoor garden, sunlit window, patio or greenhouse.  Keep your AeroFlo2 away from areas where the inevitable dripping that occurs during filling, draining and pH adjustment could cause water damage.

The compact AeroFlo series are an excellent choice for growing small crops such as lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, basil and other herbs which do not grow taller than three feet.   The resulting high growth rate requires frequent attention to stake vines, harvest produce promptly when ready and replace mature plants with new sprouts to maintain a high productivity.
