Hello friends. I’m starting with a 10x11x12 room I have 3 1000W HPS lights in 8 inch air-cooled hoods, with all 3 in a line so air passes right through. Next there is a 6 inch hole cut in the floor of the room, where ducting will connect to the far end of the lights and be pulled through the other end via ducting and a hole cut in the ceiling with a 8 inch fan herfing it up and out. Six (6) plants in 10 gal pots will be under 3000Watts. I have a 100 CAN fan with 8 inch fan on it, and if I’m still having problems with heat, I have an AC unit.


I started clones Aeroponicly and transplanted to dirt once rooted, they vegged under 4 CFL's in 1 gal pots. At day 42-43 I transplanted 3 into the 10 gal pots (I pruned to 4 main branches) and left the other 3 untouched (controlled, doing it with no pruning). So 3 in 10 gal pots and 3 in 1 gal pots, vegging for 10 days 24hours. (Actually vegged for 14-15 days)


Then when 12/12 comes for the big ladies I will remove the little 3 to CFL's to finnish out there vegging for another 30days.(all 3 in 1 gal had PH lockout and tanked. Starting new 3 aeroponically.

This way I will have a perpetual cycle every 30 days. Pics on usually uploaded to budbook.org, with friends,


~~10 days from going 24hour 1000watt hps vegg, I walk in to see my ladies losing their color, and getting all squiggly new growth looking like someone cast a spell and shrunk it!!! So I freak for a minute or so, get all hot a flustered--then I remembered to take a bong rip and relax and just think about it. It was my PH!!!!! Damn 8.5+
My plants were being starved, no nutrients’ were able to make in passed the high alkaline. So I flushed with 6.0-6.5 PH. The other 3 (controlled) not doing as well. So I will watch over them close, and give them what ever they need.(died 9-25-09 R.I.P)


Flower Started: 9/27/09
Transplanted aero clones to soil.

Today was the first 12 hours of darkness. The squiggilyness that I was concerned about on all 3 ladies has started to correct itself. Even after one day of flowering. I need to get an electronic PH tester. Currently I am using drops into the water being tested, but when I use my nutes the drops will not show. So I have to get an electronic ph tester. Stocks are nearing and inch thick in diameter.

Experiment:
Each plant has started flowering with 4 main stems. I removed the four lowest nodes on each of the outer 3 branches, and then topped all 4 branches. I’m hoping to create a jam from the top and a jam from the bottom, and focus everything on the upper-middle.

note: found some bugs, white...no killing, don't like that in my grow room, no negitive thinking!!!, will just use repellent, all natural soap, keep them at bay. close eye
