Smurfy's Aeroponics Garden (Avg Rating: 9.0 in 52 votes) undisclosed

Description	This was an aeroponics garden I built about 7.5 years ago after I attended a NASA seminar. I went to the seminar because of work and listened to NASA's detailed explanation of space travel and some of the ideas to realize long space journeys to distant planets. In their description, they were explaining the method by which astronauts would obtain their oxygen and food supplies if a trip to Mars was launched. This was the first time I was introduced to aeroponics. The NASA people went into great lengths about the speed at which plants grew, producing oxygen and a steady food source for their brave men and women. I flew back home with my partner two weeks later when the seminar ended and while sitting on the plane, my partner and long time grow buddy said to me, "wouldn't it be awesome if we could grow weed using that aeroponics technique?" Although it never occurred to me during the seminar, bells and whistles started going off in my head. When we finally got home, I quickly contacted the NASA people and had them send me everything they had pertaining to their aeroponics research. An orange box worth of files arrived on my desk about a month later and so began my research into the aeroponics technique. My buddy and I was using high tech water cultures then, now referred to as Nutrient Film Technique, and were no strangers to marijuana or the methods that can be implemented to grow them. We had tried every technique available or dreamable at the time but never attempted aeroponics. After 4 long months of debating and researching with my friend, we were finally ready to put together our first aeroponics garden. And so the journey began.....what you see here is my second aeroponics garden. It contains the newly available HPS bulb, new back in those days, three 1 horsepower jet pumps, 360 degree atomizing misters, CO2 controllers, and carbon hepa filters.

Tired of coughing up phlegm?? Here at GrowKind we switched from smoking to vaporizing 10 years ago, and our lungs have never felt better. In that time we have tried every vaporizer you can think of including domes, digital vaporizers, light bulbs, heat guns, and the volcano. Some work better than others but after all that time we still go back every day to our vape pens. Do yourself and your lungs a favor and head over to Vaporwarehouse. Don't Smoke! -- Vaporize!
