This seems very similar to hydroponics, but uses spray mist instead of water. Most of the other structures seem similar. We would have less push for alternative farming if we simply did not waste the food from the farms we already have. I have tasted hydroponically grown tomatoes, and I have to say, they were pretty tasteless. We cannot identify all the components in soil that go into making a plant (or a person) healthy. It’s more than a handful of nutrients. But depleted soil has the same issue in that we only replace a small amount of chemicals every planting, while most of the other ones disappear. That’s why our food these days lacks taste and nutrition.
I wouldn’t that is the reason for lack of taste. The lack of taste is due to hybrid seed varieties that are made for their look, hardiness and other factors that have nothing to do with taste. Taste factor does not seem to be an issue.
@xman559 And also when hydroponic is used in winter so the tomatoes don’t get enough sun then they dont have good taste too…
taste has everything to do with genetics, not with hydroponics or soil.
The spray nozzles are very easy to get clogged up! Less clogging with air bubbles ~ but i do like the spray nozzles! but there a pain
@xman559 A lot of the flavor fom plants come from flavenoids, tannins, antioxidants and other ingredients that arise from stress responses to pests and the environment. Crops grown under sterile conditions will produce less of these compounds, thus being less flavorful. Also hydroponic crops also absorb more water due to the higher osmotic pressure., so they will naturally taste more “watered down”. These are the main reasons organic crops often taste a bit better than conventional. Theyre under more stress due too the natural environment and grow smaller flavor dense crops.
It’s impressive. I wonder why the potatoes are so small, maybe because the weight would be too much for the roots to handle. I wonder how the absence of soil bacteria affects the growth.
that’s my guess.. they don’t let them grow bigger or it tears the roots off……though that seems to be an engineering issue. maybe some sort of treelike structure to “catch” the roots and support them would allow for larger growth……
The soil edaphone system performs the backbone of molecular mining. Hifas grows in the intercellular gap of the root and the macrocomponents are replaced by plant sugars (symbiosis). I have read almost all books and articles and dissertations on this. but the break was not in them for an aeroponic case ….
It’s actually price and vanity related. These potatoes sell as “gourmet” for over 20 times the price of large/ fist size potatoes.
Correct.
However, it may be possible to find a solution for the aeroponic application of hypha. If we were to create a secondary fungal powder delivery system that would graft mycorrhizal connections along the plant stem and root. It may be enough to do it only occasionally. But it may also be enough to have a hand-held spore nebulizer here.
When I was in college I did research on hydroponics focusing on root phototropism and hormone production, I’ve always wondered if there are viable uses in terms of root vegetables as the hydroponic/aeroponic systems seems to cause more thin roots with fewer nutrient stores.
if you have a moment just think of combining aquaponic with aeroponic , thank me later =))
how much nutrients have plants grown in air or aquaponics compare to normal farming?
@jew pacabra good question … the same as in hidroponics but widouth the chemical that you’ll find in hidroponics
@jew pacabra Is that really your first name?
They use them as seed potatoes lmao
Wild! I love exploring the future of technology of all kinds. This is the first I’ve seen of this. Super super cool system.
Very interesting.
I’ve been growing with aeroponics for about 10 years now.
And I never tried to grow potatoes.
All the other vegetables I grow turn out great.
And for all the people that say, when vegetables are grown this way that they are tasteless.
You are full of it.
Almost always the vegetables are way better than what I grow in my outside garden.
Because I can control every aspect of the grow.
Plus I can cut 2 to 6 weeks off of the grow time.
What I would have like to see is what nutrients and micros they may be using.
And when and if they increase or decrease any of these.
I have spent years experimenting and studying this subject.
And through alot of trial and error. I have come up with some excellent formulas for most vegetables.
There is one thing I saw with their set up that concerns me.
I don’t know if it’s because they are growing potatoes or what.
But their roots should have alot more of the little hair like roots coming off the main roots.
These little hair like roots cause a huge uptake in nutrients.
Which in turn cause a tremendous surge in growth.
In the middle of the video I saw something in the root chamber that might be causing the lack of these little hair like roots.
It looked like their droplet size in their sprays are very good. Within the range they should be.
But at the end of their spray cycle, once it stopped spraying.
You saw all those big drops dropping down on the roots.
That will cause all those little hair like roots not to grow or bunch up together and die.
So what I see is their on spray cycle is to long and or their off cycle is to short.
I was really surprised to see those large drops.
Because they are really defeating the purpose of growing with aeroponics.
Because the droplet size is one of the main factors when growing with aeroponics.
Anyway the video was very interesting.
My operation isn’t this big.
And my technology can’t compare.
But I do have 3, 200 s/ft rooms. So my operation isn’t that small either.
sorry friend you should eat outdoor summer vegies of Greece!
I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians.
And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge”. 1 Nephi 1-3
Hello friends, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The verses above are the first three verses in The Book of Mormon. I know this probably isn’t the most ideal place to talk about religion but I really do want you to know that God loves you. You may not love Him or care about Him at all, but He still will continue to love you. You are a beloved son or daughter of God. He knows you personally and He truly and deeply desires for your happiness. He loves everyone who has every lived on this earth, with a perfect equal love regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, faith and values and beliefs. The Lord loves you more than you can think or comprehend. “He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile” 2 Nephi. He is our loving, caring Heavenly Father. We are literally His children and creations. When we were in the womb, he knew about us” Jerimiah 4:5. He knitted us and we were created in His image.
I testify to you that you and I are not a mistake. He knows the very moment when we stand and when we sit. He is familiar with all our ways and knows us personally who we are. The hairs on our very head are numbered. God loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten Son for us, that we may be able to return and dwell in the presence of God again. The Lord has not forgotten about us even when it feels like He has. He will never forsake us. When we are happy, He and His angels rejoice alongside us. When we are sad, He heals us and lifts us up from our trials. He has always been there for us. He has always been our loving, compassionate Heavenly Father and God. Will we always be His children and people?
I testify to you that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. Both love you exceedingly and rejoice when you are happy. They both love you so much. They love you with a love unfeigned. They will never ever stop doing good unto you. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. “And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost”. Moroni 10:4 I promise and testify to you, that if you will read The Book of Mormon, ponder on its message and ask God if it is not true, you will come to know of its truthfulness, whether its true or not true.
Remember my friends that God loves you with all his heart, might mind, soul and strength. He wants you to be happy. He knows what you are going through and dealing with right now. He desires for you to return back to Him. Unfortunately, He has been misrepresented and seen as a cruel and angry God who anticipates for us to slip and writes down every mistake we make waiting to punish us by those who do not know or know Him fully.
My friends, God has stored many opportunities and blessings for you. He is incredibly eager and desires with all His heart to bless you abundantly. He wants you to live with Him again. He only wants the best for you and your well being. He wants to experience everlasting joy and indescribable happiness in this life and in the life to come. He wants you to partake of His goodness and come and follow Him. The Lord does not care how early or late you decide to come unto Him. I testify to you that if you have strayed and wondered off the path that there is peace and hope in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. The Lord accepts those who come unto Him whether your early, late or just in time who desire to change. The Lord will accept you wholeheartedly and forgive you if you are willing to change. The Lord will welcome you and will always be ready to embrace you with open arms. The Lord will lift us up in our trials and use us to bless the lives of those around us if we are willing to change.
If you desire to learn more, you are always welcome to visit comeuntochrist.org. There you will learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ and our core beliefs and values. If you have taken the time to read The Book of Mormon and this comment, thank you. It takes a huge leap of faith and a lot of courage to muster enough faith to read in the Book of Mormon and to believe in something in a personage that you may never see in this lifetime. Although we may not be able to see God and Jesus Christ in this life, I testify to you that they are real. They do truly exist. I promise you that if you will pray to know of their existence, you will come to know whether they exist or have been made up.
You are my friends. The Lord loves you unconditionally and is aware of you and despite all our weaknesses and shortcomings, he still loves us and will forgive us if we will humble ourselves before Him and diligently seek correction and do whatever is needed to repent.
Remember that The Lord is always available to talk to through prayer 24/7. No question sounds too silly for Him. James wrote, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” James 1:5. If you must know whether or not something is true or evil and deceptive, you can always pray to God. He will help you know what the truth is and what is not the truth. He will never be too busy to talk to. He will give you strength you need to overcome and conquer your temptations and will give you the strength you need to endure through your trials and afflictions. Paul said that The Lord will not give you temptations that you cannot resist, but that in your temptations, He will provide a way for you to resist, overcome and conquer them. He will provide a way. He wants to bless you and reward you abundantly in Spiritual and physical things. The Lord knows you and will not forget you. You are loved. You are utterly amazing. You have incredible potential. You are not forgotten or ever will be forsaken. You are special. You are unique. You are one of a kind. You have been reserved for this time and The Lord needs you on His side.
It simply would not be the same without you. That’s just how much the Lord need you on His side.
Thank you dearly for your time.
Hi, I am interested in aeroponics as well, however, I have run into a few different problems. How do you get your nutes in your water? I’m thinking of using an ultrasonic system but does nutrients get carried into the micro droplets as well? Using a micro nozzle and high PSI pump with nutes seems impossible to me as I can see the nutrients clogging up the nozzleheads. Also, how do you keep your water tank free from bacteria/mold? Hope to hear from you soon!
@ΜΙΚΕΛΑΝΤΖΕΛΟ ΚΟΥΛΟΥΡΙΔΑΚΗΣ
Sorry friend, but I have a huge outdoor garden that I get a wide variety of fresh veggies right here in California.
I also have a greenhouse I grow in.
And all of this is on top of my indoor grow rooms.
You see I can grow anything I want at anytime I want.
I don’t have to wait for the seasons.
I can grow any vegetable all year long.
Where I grow at in California is almost all farm land.
In fact across the street is a huge farm.
The street where I grow is over a mile long and there is only 3 house’s on the street. The closest house to me is over a half mile away.
Also did you know that California supplies like 40 percent of all fruits and vegetables for the US.
So I get plenty of fresh produce.
@dyeet
Hi, hows it going ?
I’m glad to see someone wanting to give aeroponics a try.
Most people won’t even try it. Because they have heard people having so many problems growing this way.
But to tell you the truth.
Aeroponics is the easiest way I have ever grown.
Of coarse just like everything else in life.
Once you get everything down. It becomes easy.
But it only took me about a year. Then it was a piece of cake.
I’ll try and answer your questions. And any other questions you might have.
What I’m going to do is try and answer your questions.
But I think it will be easier for me to give you some of my experiences and why I went the way I have.
So your first question.
I understand but I don’t.
How do you mix your nutrients in your water.
I don’t know what nutes you are using. But I’m sure they have directions. Correct ?
For example lets say I have 2 bottles of nutrients a part A and a part B that I’m going to use.
The directions on the bottles say add 2 teaspoons or it might say 10ml per gallon of water.
So the reservoir that I use is 20 gal. But I only put 7 gals. in it at a time.
And this will last me 3 to 5 days.
Plus it’s easier to keep 7 gals at the correct temperature it should be.
Around 75 degrees
Ok right here I would like to suggest that you never use what the directions say to use.
Always start with half, because you can always add more.
So to the 7 gals of water in my res I would add only 7 teaspoons.
Then I would check the ppms to see if it’s where I want it. And usually its close.
Now for what you think about the spray heads.
And then you said you were thinking about ultrasonic.
Do you mean fogponics ?
Let me say this 10 years ago when I decided that I was going to grow with aero. I bought everything I needed to build a HPA system. ( High pressure aeroponics).
I spent almost $ 800.00.
Once I started putting it together, like you, I saw the possibility of to many problems.
So I never put it together.
And I still have everything.
So now, like you.
I decided to give fogponics a try.
Because.
With fogponics you don’t use spray heads.
You just use a little fan to blow the fog into your grow chambers.
But those damn little foggers would get dirty so fast that I would have to clean them 3 to 4 times a day.
I tried this for a week and a half and said forget this.
Well now I had already been doing research on aero for 2 years. And there just wasn’t anything out there.
I started checking out cannabis forums.
And you would be shocked at how many there are.
I spent thousands of hours researching.
Well one night I got lucky.
I was looking through grow journals on one of the cannabis forums.
And usually the journals are a year old or newer.
Well for some reason this guys grow journal came up.
And it was 10 years old.
So at the time I found it.
This journal would be from the 1990s. And it was, it started in 1999.
I don’t know how it came up.
But anyway this guy was growing with LPA ( low pressure aeroponics ).
This guys journal was like nothing I had ever seen.
It is like 500 pages long.
And he explains everything he does and why.
With hundreds of pictures.
After 5 pages I knew this is what I was going to do.
I stayed up all night reading.
And the next day I started designing my aero systems.
And I’ve never looked back.
Everything I needed to build my systems I can get at home Depot. Except the spray heads.
And I can get those at the hydro store I go to.
And they are very inexpensive.
And come to think about it.
I’ve been using the same spray heads for 10 years now. With no problems.
This is my systems I built.
I have 2, 21 site grow chambers with 1 reservoir.
The grow chambers are just those tubs you can get at home Depot.
I went through 3 different ones before I found one that wouldn’t leak.
The black ones with the yellow lids don’t leak.
And they turned out to be the cheapest ones.
The manifolds I built are just half inch pvc with 9 spray heads. And it sits in the grow chambers. Two inches off the bottom.
I put a half inch hole in the middle of the bottom.
And ran a hose to the res so the solution drains back into it.
Then I put another half inch hole 2 inchs from the bottom on one of the ends of the grow chamber.
And I have a pvc fitting that is connected to the manifold sticking out that has a half inch hose connected to it that runs to the pump inside the res.
The pump is just a mid range pound pump. It’s like only 20 to 30 bucks.
I have about 15 of these aero systems. That I have been using for 10 years now. With no problems.
This is the cheapest, easiest and fastest way I have found to grow indoors.
I can’t believe everyone isn’t doing it.
Now there’s a lot more to it than what I have said.
But if you have any questions later.
I’ll be more than happy to try and help.
Good luck and take care.
I’m glad the video started with an explanation because I was wondering why bother growing them like this. I can see how it could be very useful for space travel or other applications where’s simply putting them in the ground isn’t an option.
And it’s lighter so even if it takes as much space a hydroponic tank, it can be used for seasteads if we ever end up in a Waterworld scenario.
This is incredible. I wondered how farmers were getting such perfectly round almost all the exact size tiny potatoes. Now I know. 🙂
It depends on the soil… with enough drainage and small particulate the baby potatoes do look like that. I have grown such in my own garden. As the get bigger their shape changes
Yes im pretty sure most small round potatoes aren’t grown like this haha
How do you remove the salts from the water after a growing season? If you are in a desert area where water is scarce and you reuse the water, there must be a way to remove salts from the added nutrients. Also, how do you keep algae and fungi from growing? I imagine that hydroponics face the same problems, but have no idea how it’s done. If we plan to go to other planets, it is important. Water is to precious a resource to discard it. Our western states in the US are in an ongoing drought and facing increasing problems because of it. Feeding the nation with potatoes using this method seems a daunting task after seeing mile after mile of field grown Russet potatoes.
It seems to me it still take about the same space as hydroponics. The main advantage is that since the tank isn’t filled with water, then it’s lighter. Maybe if used on a seastead, the desalination would be done on demand only when the plants need watering.
the roots can ventilate better
@Maojie YanThey can dry out quicker too.
Interesting to watch. The mineral mix seems to be curcial to the process. Not sure if I’d like to have such crops on my dish. But for Mars Missions might be interesting.
Thank You for comment, please share if you like my video
Amazing video! Anyone out there tried high pressure aeroponics (HPA) on potatoes? Research has shown that 50micron droplets provide the most uptake of nutrients through the super fine root hairs (trichoblasts) that develop from the fine mist. The roots end up drinking the humidity right out of the air.
I wonder if there is a scaled down version that would work for individual gardeners? Something where you could grow 30 – 50 plants at a time.😀
I would imagine one could build it. I have this idea of doing this using water from an attached fishery where fish produce the nutrient content
Maravilhoso Parabéns
Sometimes I wonder what the world would have looked like without innovations like this😊, my advice for everyone, both in the agricultural industry and elsewhere, is to evolve with the world in others so as not to to be left behind
You are absolutely right, the innovation of individuals and industries is gradually making the world a better place and if you are not careful and follow the trend you will be left behind, a perfect example is the introduction of crypto- currencies as a globally acceptable means of payment
Sorry for the inconvenience, I just had to add. Cryptocurrency is the future of money and a very good way to invest and make extra profit, I am grateful to Mr. Larry Kent Nick for introducing me and making me earn so much thanks to this new innovation
I thought I was the only one benefiting from the good works of Larry Kent Nick I made over $45,000 investments with him I bless the day I was introduced to him
I already like this guy, I would like to get involved please how can I contact him?
Surprisingly, contacting him is very easy, all you have to do is follow him on instagram
If you look at this video, you’ll see plants which have a normal stem and leaves on top; and a root system underneath. The upper and lower portions of the plant are divided by a fiber mat which allows the roots to penetrate downward. In this case, the roots include potatoes. The upper portion of the plant is just for photosynthesis.
But in reality, any plant could be grown this way, as long as the root system is kept wet. It’s not really hydroponics, because there wouldn’t be a fluid bath or spray.
In theory, you could sprout some seeds on a fiber mat, and provide grow lights above. Below would be an ultrasonic humidifier to provide the roots with moisture and nutrients.
Does this change the nutritional value found in the crops?
I like this a lot, but given that the potatoes are hanging from a root mass not designed to take weight, does that limit the size the potatoes can get to before harvest? The potatoes in the video are a bit small. I wonder if you layered a series of mesh nets, the roots could grow down through them and support the weight of the potatoes till they reach a larger size?
My guess is that the node where it connects automatically adjusts to grow thicker to support that weight. They of coarse as you said are not designed for that purpose, so there will be a limit on what they can support.
