Vertical Scrog with Aerofalls Vertical Aeroponic 21 Plant System

[growshower]

Hello fellow ICmaggers,

Was playing around on ebay today and got an idea for my next grow. I am a loyal soil soldier but I would really love to try a small hydro setup just for kicks. This is what I was thinking.

So This could be done in a really compact grow, but there are larger versions of this available. It is a Aerofalls Vertical Aeroponic Gardening System. It is pretty much a waterfall like hydro system that recirculates. But if any of you are familiar with Rainman, who I respect highly, his 8 foot of catpiss setup. I was thinking to downscale that largly and just have a Vertical Scrog set beside this system with a vertical free hanging light or cooltube. I doubt seriously that this system would hold 21 plants, I would think 14, spaced out, with a helacious support system and this might could work.

I feel the best way to learn to to just put this out there and maybe I can do a forum designed build simply based on peoples input, however, regrettably I couldnt share the benefits.

Anyway, please feel free to comment on this anyway you like, submit your ideas, build your own, diy ideas, I am open to anything. Below is pictures of the hydro setup. There is also a link to the company's channel on you tube, they have some interesting videos.

This thread would be a great addition to the new Vertical/Colosseum Growing sub forum. New around here, so i don't know who handles the details of the switch.

From the pics and descriptions, looks like a cool deal to fiddle around with !!

im interested in the aerofall unit I have a lot of questions about it though how are the plants fed...I would like to see the insides of one they also seem a little thin and I think it would be cool to put four of them together and make a real vertical grow show but it would take a bit of mods
