They say you can't use it for aeroponics,I'm growing lettuce,kale,spinach in aeroponics in a modified stinkbud veg unit.
as long. You clean your res every week,keep it dark(black container),and keep your res from getting hot it seems to work great for me.

but leafy greens are the easiest plants to grow,I wouldn't recommend growing weed with the GO box in aeroponics until you have experience with their products.


long story short,they work good,try using DWC,or Ebb&flow,or flood tables if you want hydro.
the GO box also works great in soil.


what do you want to know about the product?

I suggest,buying a cheep air pump and aerate your water for 6-26 hours before use.
it will help removed the chlorine and Chloramine.

because you are using organic fertilizers there are beneficial micro organisms alive in the bottles,you don't want them to die from salts or chlorine.

also I suggest you use 25%-50% of what the chart on the box tells you.then slowly slowly increase the amounts(you just don't want to burn them)

Oh and if you want to be annoying,the bio marine and black diamond are not veganic.

if you run everything but those two,you can say you grew these with no animal products

My opinion on nutrients....

They are all pretty good if you use them properly. When I say that, I dont mean going by the directions on the back. Listen to your plant, she will tell you everything you need to know. I am also a proponent of starting slow but hitting harder and harder every feeding until she tells me too much, then I back off. Most strains can take more than you realize. Most strains like nitrogen several weeks into flowering, so don't give up on your veg nutrients too quick.
