View Full Version : watering schedule for aeroponics
Does anyone know how often to water an aeroponic setup. I took your advice Stoney on the Ebb and Flow on 1 off 2 hours and it worked fine.

I'm glad it worked well for you g-13. I use an aeroponic cloner, and I have the pump on 24/7.
It works great for me.
I also use an anti-bacterial and a rooting hormone in the nutrient solution.
The plants love it. The root growth is phenomenal.

I run my aeroponic system 24/7 except when it's being cleaned and it works great. I use a few air stones in the bottom of the reservoir to make sure the roots get plenty of O2.

Im guessing your roots would dry out in under 1 day if not misted..can some one verify?

It really depends on the relative humidity.... but I personally wouldn't even let it go say... 6 hours w/o water... I can't go that long w/o some kinda liquid refreshment... so i dont like to see the girls go w/o too.
