Homeade Aeroponic System
First i went to walmart and purchased (2) 10gal. Totes with lids. Then I went to the fish section of walmart and picked up a bubble stone and air pump with two outlets, as well as a gang valve to control the flow of air. Then I went to my local hydro store and got myself a 250 gallon per hour pump. and some 1" mesh pots total of (9). And a Ph testing kit with all the chemicals and neutrients.
Now all i did was cut 2 5/8" holes in the lid for the maniflod and return lines to go through. I set the water pump in the front left corner and the bubble stone in the center running the air line out the little hole in the handle of the tote. Now moving on to the root chamber. I cut a hole in the bottom of the second tote so i could make the return line. And then I drilled a hole 4" above the bottom hole for the manifold feed line. I went to home depot and got sone 1/2" PVC pipe (a ten foot stick costs bout 3 bux). and some end caps as well as 3 T's you can see how i assembled it in the photographs page. I got the 360 degree sprayers at my local hydro store.bout 8 bux for 12 of em. I then cut the holes for the mesh pots in the lid using an exacto knife or utility knife. The Photographs page is pretty self explanitory so if anybody has any question or suggestion im happy to explain or open to hear suggestions.
