Lot's of bud spankin' going on around here, but anything goes. Here is a pic of the veggers, the brown spot is from them growing into the cfl's, little bitches are anxious. Good to hear that you are using the same types of nutes Diggitydank, I got 2.5 gallons of each part (micro,grow,bloom). I just bought the two other veg supplements from GH too, the names escape me.

I got new nutes on the way. I'm using the beastie bloom dino for my avatar, scary huh? Hope you all made it through Friday the 13th ok. The Pic of the plant with roots is blue cheese, the other picture is veg in action and the other one is of the next generation. Coming soon to a theater near you. Strawberry Blue (Legend Collection), Big Buddah Blue Cheese, KC Brains Mango X Brazil

I amy be wrong but from what i can see in the picture you have a double pole contactor in that box? If so here is just an FYI. you can actually double your power output with that setup if you ever plan on expanding and also if your current wiring and curcuit breaker will allow it. Simply put ther are 2 legs on a double pole contactor. To double your output basicly your just wire the Black (Hot wire) to one leg and wire nut the whit wires together which will open up the other leg for you to wire another power strip on the other leg. Just tie the white to white(Neautral wire) and green to green(Ground wire) and use the contactor to interupt the black(Hot wire). If you need some help with this drop me a pm and i will try to walk you through it.

Also you might want to tape the net pots in place before those plants become monsters. I found this out the hard way as once they start to really take off and you wil start to have puddles on tyhe floor. they will lift and move which will allow the water to be sprayed out which can rot your stems at the bottom so i tapped them up to make them water tight

Yup you are correct about the contoller. The white leads (nuetral got tied together and we took the hot from one contactor and took it to the next, just redundancy in case the contactor doesn't make contact. I really do have to go through all my wiring and clean it up. Thanks for the information. Good information on the net pots I never heard of that.

My single rubbermaid is a cloner. My double stacker rubbermaid is a vegger and the fence setup is a flowerer. Just got my nutes today. I got GH floraliscious grow, GH Diamond nector and the Fox Farm supplements. I added the stuff right away.

yes, I can see that but I cannot see inside the rubber maids, are they aeroponics?

FF suppliments are only for flowering I believe?

Yup they are aeroponic set ups. They have little pvc pipes in them and they spray water out of ez clone sprayers (tiny little screw in sprayers). Here is the set up I emulated https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/116859-harvest-pound-every-three-weeks.html (read the first three pages of the thread to get an idea. Good luck and stay out of trouble. hee hee

Hello all, I wasn't posting for a few days. Enjoyed the day snow skiing and pretending to be Bodi Miller. I got the one fence post on the right with all 14 holes filled, 7 of the plants are a week behind the other 7. Then I loaded up another fence post with some Blue Cheese. I will be filling the holes as they become ready in veg. Using my floraliscious grow and really seeing a boost in growth. I also have open sesame (fox farms) being added to the ones in flower, they sure seem to have responded to it.

If you were thinking of trying aero give it a shot. It's much easier than soil and the growth speaks for itself. I like how the Fox Farm additives are a powder and they are natual derived organic stuff. I'm hoping to work the inorganic nutrients out of the weed as they get closer to harvest.

I will tell you what, I've made plenty of mistakes with my dirt endeavors, bugs, over watering, salt build up and the list goes on and on. This setup is as easy to take care of as a hot tub, well a little harder, but not much. No dirt to buy, a couple of orders to the online hydro shop and a investment in some equipment. I'm a frickin' rooky and I'm able to do it, go aero. Thanks for visiting the grow show.

Hey everyone, PH adjust time, It takes me a good hour to adjust ph and to measure out my fertilizers. I find that the time I have to spend with the units is going up. I like to clean out my tanks every week and it's a chore. I am just wondering how much bigger are these monsters going to get. I have a couple of the plants that have a lot of stretch to them. I'm starting to change my opinion on the Powerskunk too. I am noticing that it is starting to get some smell to it and some little trichomes are forming. I will let these two plants do their thing regardless of their flowering period length.

OK they are starting to get bigger. I'm using "Open Sesame" from Fox Farms with my GH flora 3 part, with some "Sweet", and Diamond Nector. Enjoy.

My 2 p skunks are going to be good filler smoke as I wait for my B Cheese to ripen. If I was you, I would start the plants indoors and get them up to a foot and take them outside to finish (preferably a national forest).
