Hydroponic and Aeroponic question

Hi everyone,

I want to settle my mind on which system should I go with, Once I get 2 strong ladies of different strain vegetated I plan to make around 1 clone from each gal per week, I'll end up eventually with no more than 24 clones in both grow rooms. For nutes I plan to use FloraGro, FloraMicro, FloraBloom and CalMag.

Hydroponic or Aeroponic. Which is better for an inexperienced gardener?

how much gallon per nute's product will last me a year? (rough estimation is ok)

Thank you

What misters are you intending to use on the aeroponic system and whats gonna heat that steam ...?

Personally I think you're better of with hydroponics, aeroponics could be troublesome, jusst my opinion, as for how much to last a full year, it all depends on how big you grow your plants as well as how much they use.

Sir, I'm as green as it gets on aeroponic, all I know that it uses water/nutes vapor/mist to feed the roots. I live in a very hot climate, the flowering room is a green house outside, only vegetation room is inside and more temperature controlled.

I'm doing WW and Blueberry, I don't expect to take more than 12 weeks of growing from one clone. Don't know how much nute per strain takes.

Aeroponics are SOOOOO easy....... I do love them so....

They are like a corvette, they are beautiful, fast, and when you go fast, you can die fast. One little power outtage for a few hours and you're screwed.

One dead pump, blocked tube, something anything borked and it's screwed.

The incredible ease of use and growth rates are well worth it. I wished I could go with aero's, it's just not possible for me at the moment.

How much nute it takes depends on the strain (obviousely) that is something you learn during the grow, I believe it also depends on the room temp, the hotter the room and the plant will drink more, it also has to do with the amount of humidity in the room.
