There are so many variables that go into that question.
1. Are you actually doing REAL Aeroponics?
Not sprinklers, tubes with pinholes, or beating the water into submission. Real Aeroponics is creating mist less than 5 microns in size. This requires $350 pumps or pressurized tanks. Also you have to have AMPLE light and water around 65 degrees or there is no point. The word Aero gets thrown around a lot but it is marketing and thats it. I'm not saying these other methods are not effective but they are hydroponics.

That being said:
If you are using one of these methods then almost any nute regiments are ok. General hydroponics floranova is fantastic but it is thick and will clog real aeroponic setups. BC grow bloom and boost are great too. Lets not forget fox farms.
The truth is, if you are new to growing I suggest not going for real aero quite yet. It is very expensive and VERY easy to fuck up. If you make a mistake your plants are dead in a day or less.

Jumbo Stealth Grow Cabinet v2.0 w/ Tek Lite T5 (8 Tube) Floro System & 5-40 Plant Aeroponic Hydroponic System w/ Co2!!

Thats a whole lot of stuff. If your just buying the package then it has everything. I will say you need ALOT more light than 100w. If you cant give the plant the light it needs then there is no point growing aeroponicly. Its like giving a car more gas but not more air.

I just went through the add ons and on that system and basicly everything there you can buy for alot cheeper. If you are going to spend that kind of money. It should not be made out of the EXACT same tubs you buy at wal-mart for $12.95. I my personal opinion, it is a rip off big time.
