Description The PLANT!T aeros is a Deep Water Culture system, also commonly known as a bubbler system. These are very popular hydroponic systems that require very little growing media, but do require a lot of nutrient/water solution. The PLANT!T aeros is best suited for short term and seasonal cropping plants. The plant is supported in a net pot filled with growing media such as clay pebbles and the roots are submerged in a highly oxygenated nutrient/water solution. The PLANT!T aeros includes a single outlet air pump and a submersible airstone to provide a large amount of oxygen to the roots of the plant, resulting in rapid growth. The bubbles produced by the airstone keep the nutrient/water solution constantly moving and oxygen-rich so that the roots stay healthy. It is important to monitor EC and pH levels closely with this system in order to gain optimum results. This is easy to do by simply removing the inspection port cover and taking a pH/EC reading. Hints and Tips Pump - leave the pump on 24/7 - the plant’s roots need constant access to nutrient solution and oxygen. Transplanting - young plants started in 1" rockwool cubes, root riots or jiffy’s can be transplanted into an Aeros, they must be root bound before they go into the system Plants under lights will take up water at a greater rate than they take up nutrient. Over time the EC of the solution will rise. Top up the pot with half strength nutrient solution, check EC and add extra nutrient if required. Then adjust pH level and perform a complete solution change every 2-3 weeks, depending plant size, water quality and hardness.
