Aeroponics is the process of growing a plant with the roots hanging in the air rather than in soil or another medium. The roots are then sprayed, or misted, with a nutrient rich solution in order to feed the plant. The main benefit of an aeroponic system is increased growth due to a greater surface area of the roots receiving oxygen and nutrients. The recent trends in indoor growing have been the use of hydroponics and aquaponics. Aeroponics has mostly been available in large scale industrial setups, leaving consumers to resort to hydroponics or aquaponics for their indoor growing needs.
This project will bring to fruition an automated indoor growing system similarly priced to consumer hydroponic systems on the market, while allowing consumers to reap the benefits that aeroponics provide.
