I am using a modified " pipe dreams" system. It is a 6" pvc pipe with three
inch mesh baskets on 6" centers. Or is that 6'? i always get the foot and
inch symbel(sp?) confused. There is a mister between every other basket.
Works real nice as long as you keep the water cool(65F). I do approx
45sec on and aprrox 5 min off. I have done much longer off cycles with good
results as well but the tubes tend to heat up a lot in hot weather. Any
thing with a psuedobulb grows to insane size in no time. I had a Zygo
flower 4 times in one year and compleatly burst the pot. The biggest things
you have to watch for are the stem/rhizome getting to wet and salts
accumulating when water wicks up.

I bought a bunch(40) cold damaged phal's from Rona/Revy for $4 a few
months
ago to use as an experiment in an aeroponics system. So far i've only
lost two and some were doubles so I am about even on that score. But the
big suprise was when I repotted them. Four of the ones with tags were P
amabalis and two of them were v.Formosa. A real nice bonus since I
usually
only grow species.

So,
what setup and what results on the aeroponics?
