Well it first started as a 4 site aeroponic tote, some died and ended up adding more holes and started more seeds, wanted to let them catch up but didn't have much time, and the big one is gonna get too big, so I went ahead to flower.
High pressure aeroponics.
The roots get misted by water droplets that are 10-50um/micron diameter.
All though mine is currently probably 30-70um, so need to make some adjustments/upgrades to get a consistent smaller average droplet size.
The goal is to get trichoblast root morphology, while maximizing avaiable oxygen to the root system.
those tiny fuzzy roothairs, they are a fuck ton more efficient at nutrient and water uptake.
And I'm also attempting some crop steering, going into Generative, the roots will get more time to dry and won't be as wet before the next misting cycle, currently 2s on, 2 minutes and 15 seconds off, which will increase or decrease by +/- 5-15s,based off root feedback.
As I'm going in to flower we want to promote a Generative Growth pattern, more E.C less water, etc.
Pic below is what HPA roots should look like.
