The aeroponic system is probably the most high-tech type of hydroponic system. The growing medium is primarily air, but unlike the NFT systems shallow channels, the roots are growing down into a much larger container. The roots hang in the air and are misted with an oxygen rich hydroponic nutrient solution. The mist cycle is usually done every few minutes.

Sets include: Mist and Cycle pump with time controller, 3 in 1 clone buckets, Water reservoir, Pipe assembly set, Shut off valve, Water level fitting, Rock wools, Water float valve.
A timer controls the nutrient pump much like other types of hydroponic systems, except the aeroponic system needs a short cycle timer that runs the pump for a few seconds every couple of minutes.
The main differences between aeroponics and hydroponics are environmental requirements, applicable plants, degree of automation, cost, and so on.
1. Environmental requirements:
Aeroponics system requires more sophisticated equipment and technical support, usually carried out in enclosed, opaque spaces to ensure that plant roots are in the optimal growth environment.
Hydroponic system is relatively simple and usually carried out in an open environment, where plant roots are directly soaked in nutrient solution.
2. Applicable plants:
Aeroponics is more suitable for plants with underdeveloped roots because it provides a better oxygen and water environment, which helps plants grow rapidly.
Hydroponic system is more suitable for plants with well-developed roots, as it can provide a stable nutrient environment that is suitable for the growth needs of most plants.
3. Automation level:
Aeroponics can achieve a higher degree of automation, where nutrient solution is intermittently and evenly sprayed onto plant roots through atomizing nozzles, reducing manual operation.
Hydroponic system is more suitable for manual operation, and the addition and management of nutrient solutions are relatively simple.
4. Cost and complexity:
The initial investment of the aeroponics system is relatively high, and maintenance is complex, requiring professional equipment and technical support
Hydroponic systems are relatively economical, easy to maintain, and suitable for manual operation.
Aeroponics system is an advanced soilless cultivation technique that has significant advantages compared to traditional soil cultivation. Here are its main advantages:
Efficient water-saving: Aeroponics system directly sprays nutrient solution onto plant roots through atomization, with a water utilization rate of nearly 100% and a water-saving efficiency of up to 90%.
Significant increase in production: Aeroponics system improves the growth environment of plant roots, making nutrient absorption more direct and growth faster.
Reduce pests and diseases: Aeroponics system is far away from the soil, creating a clean inorganic environment and reducing the incidence of pests and diseases by more than 75%.
Save space: Aeroponics system is easy to achieve vertical planting and can significantly improve greenhouse utilization, making it suitable for promotion in areas with limited land resources.
Environmentally friendly and sustainable: Aeroponics system adopts a closed-loop circulation system with zero discharge of nutrient solution, reducing environmental pollution and making it a sustainable agricultural production method.
Simplify management: Aeroponics system has a high degree of automation, and producers only need to master simple computer operations to manage it, which is suitable for urban residents to develop new agricultural models.
Wide applicability: Aeroponics system is suitable for most horticultural plants, including economic tree species, aquatic plants, and vines, without considering soil adaptability issues.
