This is my first grow by myself, am currently in the middle of one with another person and all is extremely well!!! This will focus though on my experience with aeroponics and the way i set things up as i go on.
i have 2 aeroflo2 rails -10 pot section so 20 total, got a good deal from the local shop or else i would have built my own. I used a 18 gal tote as a res perfect for the setup, and i am using a 500 gpm mag drive submer pump for flow.
Now i had to fashion some connecting tube together and made the mistake of buying the wrong thread style connection to the lines that came with the rails (coarse). regular tubing comes in fine thread. They are in 3" netted pots and i started the cuttings in 1" rockwool cubes surrounded them in hydoton in the pots. For the light i regret to inform that i am using a cfl(to broke to buy hps) but after this paycheck i will have a 1000w hps running in there too on an 6' rail that way they all get plenty of light. eventually i will put up mylar and be much happier with everything but that will have to wait until i get paid again.

When i decided to go aero i was looking for watering inst and i could not really find much. I am using a cycle that never lets the roots go for at least 1.5 hr without water and it seems to working fine( would be better but the light is limiting growth) now when the roots are more developed will put the water on for longer. The pdf for the aeroflo2 sys says to keep it on 24hrs a day but i noticed some nuut burn so i lowered the watering time. for nuuts i am using cutting edge solutions working awesome in my first gro!!! we will see how they do in aero. nuuts are a 6 part system and i am going 1/2 strength until the plant warm up to them.
They have been in the rails for 1 week and good root growth has begun cant wait to get the hps to see some real growth in the plants though! They range from 7-11" but from experience i know the will love a new light. i will try to get some pics up soon.

Congrats on starting your first grow.
It sounds like you have learned a bit from others before trying it. Thats cool.

I am finishing my first aeroponics grow and it is not like previous hydroton grows.
They grow a lot faster. Is awesome.

Right now I run 3 min on 15 min off. I have tried a bunch of different cycles and it doesn't seem to effect them as long as they get wet. I'm running a 400 watt too.

Yea, lets see some pics.

Thanks, here are some pics, will add more after this weekend. the last 2 are ones i had no spots for i need to make something else for those though. If any one says clones die if not put into bigger blocks they lie, i am sad to say it but, it has been almost a month since i got them and they have not died. I will put some of the light and extras on after the weekend. Thanks for the reply.

wheres your exhaust fan for the 1000 watter big guy? yo.... so i just got back last night and seriously like half the hairs are orange atleast and I had to do some surgery cuz our biggest were leanin over like big tyme lol these buds are gettin mad heavy. Thats shit looks sweet though bro! How do you have the water run back off into the res? it gets pumped out too? I also insist you incorporate some co2, you think the girls here look fuckin good... throw some co2 on yours and they will get to 6 ft fo sho! plus i think it will help with the stalks cuz these are to skinny even with bein under the hps the whole time they cannot support the big fruity dense nugs theyre producing. + rep hoe

TOO broke to get the exhaust built yet, will next week on friday it seems no matter how many times i get paid the next day i am broke I have the door partially open and am drawing air in from the rest of the house pretty cool up here right now so i do not need to worry about temp. On the weekend i will put up a wall like we have divinding the room and i will be pulling air in from the other side of the room and be pulling it through the light and out into the attic i also have the ballast in the attic to reduce heat load in the room working out pretty well so far.sTILL NEED ALL THE NUTES, I havent gotten the uncle johns the mag amp or the plant amp yet, the shop doesnt carry them so i had to special order it, and they only sell in the gal size so i wont need to go for awhil once i get them! on the stem size not worried about the thickness as long as they produce big buds i will support them with my arms if i have to to let them grow fat haha. was looking at a co2 setup pretty expensive to get something that can monitor and release when needed, maybe after a harvest i can get bigger.

Man i like that set up

hell yeah brotha! well i just got done supporting them. I went to gorilla today and got bamboo stix and just tied all of em up cuz they were all fallin over pretty bad. plus i made a shit load more room for some of the lower branches to get light. most all the buds are soooo fucking big!!! not like most the ones from my first one ya know on all those branches that were gettin no light....these ones are phaaaaaattttt!!!!!! hahaha i had somethin else to tell ya but i put it up on my page so jus check it out there kiddo!
