Aeroponics farming
I'm thinking of starting an Aero Farm in my basement to supply my friends restaurant with the freshest produce possible. Does anyone know a place that I can find nutrient levels for different fruits, veggies, and herbs? I want to use aeroponics because 1. it uses much less water on a large scale, and 2. i have unbelievable results growing bud in it (1-3" a day). I think it would be the ideal medium for a small scale farm. I was thinking of just starting out with exotic herbs and spices, because they can be harvested multiple times a season.
Does anyone know if it is possible to grow a tree in an aeroponic medium?Maybe half aero half DWC?

We use Technaflora in our aero. By using the technaflora website, sounds like will be good for other plants/veggies also.
make a starter pack for pretty cheap. https://www.technaflora.com/ i used the Root 66 for some unhealthy house plants and some repots, crazy roots, also waterd with veg mix, just cut it in half with water, i always dump out my "flushing and over flow tank" from soil grows in the flower bed and they do well also. what do you use for mj?

I made my own aeroponic NFT system, and at the moment im using General Hydroponics nutes. and am getting amazing results for my pot, but on the other hand my citronella and straberry plants in there died of nute overdose very quickly (I normally keep it at around 1800-2500 ppm).

You can find nutrient targets for anything grown commercially by searching for university trials for a given crop.
some good reading on vegetable feeding can be found here. I use it on my cukes, tmaters, and peppers [sweet and hot, mostly hot] with excellent results. with the gh flora series and american agritech [botanicare, whatever] cal-mag plus, it works out to be 16/5/6/5ml of grow/micro/bloom/cal-mag. I use it with tap water because the extra Ca helps.
