Hey everyone,

I just got a place to start my first Aeroflo2 60 grow. I am doing everything ( all construction myself) so it is taking some time. I just started soaking the seeds today and the room should be done in the next couple of days. Here's a little bit about the room:

Aeroflo 60
4 600 HPS air cooled lights (2 conversion MH for Veg)
Phresh filter
Sentinel Room Controller
Tital Helios Light control
CAP C02 generator
A/C
Dehumidifier
RO system
EZ Cloner 60
T44 florescent lights (4-4ft tubes)

This is my first time using an aeroponic system. I was really stuck about what to do starting from seed but this is what I am going to try: Germinating the seeds on a tray in moist paper towel with a heat matt underneath. When they sprout i was going to put them in the ezclone to grow some roots under the T44.. Once they grew some roots I was going to put them in the aeroflow for veg.

ALL INPUT AND SUGGESTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

I will be updating at least everyday if not more :)

Thanks for looking and for your help :)

Hey Jake,

I've never tried it either but I dont know another way to do it.. I can't put rockwool in the aeroflo :( Any ideas?

Id put the germinated seeds in a starter tray of perlite. Let it sit in a bit of water so it does not dry out.

Then when they sprout out you can rinse away the perlite and put it in the ez cloner and veg them a bit.

thanks xare.. I'm going to look into that! Once they have roots, i can just throw them in the Aeroflo. I am not using the coco inserts.. just the net cups with neoprene and hydroton. Really appreciate the advice! More to come.

Hmm well maybe you can put the seeds into coco or soil and once they get established and have a decent root structure you can just wash all the soil/coco off and have a bunch of bare roots almost like you cloned with a ez cloner. They may get a little shock but as long as you put them straight into the aeroflow before they dry out I bet they would take pretty quick.

Also I just want to add Im glad I found a thread where someone knows how to set up a room. No offense to the newbies or anything but there are so many stupid lame little "grow journals" on her and its pretty much just some guy who put a cfl under his bathroom sink with a string of Christmas lights (for added light spectrum ha ha) and has 3 patheic little plants he started from seeds out of a bag of Mex he got. I harldy call those grows more like a waste of time. This on the other hand looks very promising :)

Hey all,

I soaked the seeds for 24 hours and moved them to a tray with heat under it today. They are all min wet paper towels in the dark. Some had already sprouted a little
! Got a lot done in the room today! Pics belowThe lights are on chains as well as adjustable light hangersCO2 GeneratorI have one big fan and there is an inline can fan in the middle of the 4 lights to aid in the cooling!Doing the floor..Overall view of the room! Tomorrow I plan on finishing the floor and installing the aeroflo, RO system and maybe the dehumidifier as well!!

As always.. All suggestions and comments are welcome!! Ill have pics of the seeds and more of the room tomorrow!
