This technique of hydroponic growing involves misting the plant's roots with nutrient solution. The runoff is collected, analyzed, augmented, and then reused like in nutrient film technique (NFT) systems. Some systems mist the roots in cycles while others constantly mist the roots. One of the advantages of aeroponics--like NFT systems--is the level of nutrient conservation.
