as the title suggest, Im looking into this as an alternative to hydro, which takes me 4 months start to finish, under a 600 sodium in clay balls.

1st post here be gentle with me ......

IMO i dont think it would be harder, for instance with hydroponics (ebb and flow) you usually have to set timers for the reservoir. With aeroponics your sprayers are left on. Another advantage with aeroponics is the fact that it's cleaner, especially if you're using expanded clay pellets(even if you clean the hydroton). Aeroponic systems dont need air pumps for aeration, another pro. But what it boils down to is which system you're more comfortable with. Personally i use aeroponics for cloning and hydro for growing and flowering. happy growing %)
 
so fast itll make your headspin

once you become accustomed to the idea, you will invent all sorts of new ways looking at everyday objects, its a lot of fun but i havent really gotten into yet, not any further then an aerocloner, which is awesome, and so so simple, and so effective.

the first time i saw a secftion on a web page for aeroponic stuff, i thought $$$, but nope, its very competitive with other methods preassembly methods.

with aeroponics the fun, interesting, productive thing about it all the ways you can make equipment at home, equipment that will grow some very nice plants. for next to nothing, and it pays for its self countless times over.

a 35 gallon rubber made trash can, 4 4" net pots on the lid(or more) a tube with holes punctured in it, a 3/4" drain/extension/screen fitting more tube a reservoir, a few air stones, a couple air pumps, a nice subpump.rockwool, lava rock, hydroton etc.

coil hose w/ little holes around inner circumference of can and through the bottom via a grommet, let the roots hang from the net pots in the lid, the nutrient will spray from the side to the middle misting all around the roots; 1 minute every 5. water drains out 3/4" back to rez.

and on and on
