Recircluating Aeroponics Second Grow White Widow + Master Kush

Sorry no update yet i finally tracked down an online retailer of dyna-gro that i felt was cheap enough http://www.everydayhydro.com/info.html
ill let you know how good they are as far as shipping but there prices are great
I'm thinking it should be here Thursday
I should have my lights by saturday (crosses fingers)
So if everything arrives on time i will put all the pieces together. Saturday or Sunday you should see some green

Ps my Plants are doing great in there little cloner even though i haven't actually fed the little guys. just some water superthrive (and a little bit of leftover dirt that i allowed to drop in there)

Given the size and some of the reviews about light penetration
ive got 20 slots i was thinking about using 12 in a

1-0-1-0-1
1-0-1-0-1 Fashion under a 1000watter

I like the aero grower.. did you build it? if so are those gutters? Do you run 4 pumps per gutter? How ofter do you plan to change your res..? Thanks!

no i didnt build it myself. I bought it from a local guy who builds them for a living(came with timer air pump and water pump)

This video shows how to make a fogger box for it. But it shows a very clear way on how to make your own longer version. I only use 1 pump that sits in the middle of the res. and is split twice that pumps the water up one side to have it drain down the other

That will probably expand to two. due to my buying 2 strains and being told not to run them like there the same

Each lightpost is around 4ft long and it has an air injection line that runs all the way down the length of each bar (im considering expanding that to two lines if it becomes needed)

And i plan to change the res either weekly or monthly depending on how the plants respond to my not so expert care

Got a 1000k cooltube with a dimmable ballast (dialed back due to lack of proper vent)

I Bought the plants 2 weeks ago thinking i was going to be planting in soil instead i built a little bubble box the plants originally came in (rock wool and some coco cube thing)

Just fed them the new nutrients today and put all my pieces together. Gonna watch them boom from now on.

Just got everything completed in the room with the ventilation system and some kinks worked out with the houses vent system.the plants are looking beautiful with growing double there size in the last 4 days. Pics soon

Might have worked out a deal for a large amount of free clones. if so i might fill the whole setup very soon. Hopefully they will be similar clones

Been reviewing alot of the fogponics systems and i think i would like to get a 10 disc fogger and make a box over the top of my setup to fog the whole thing

Alright So I completed my ducting with an inline fan. i didnt read until after i put it up that i should have had the fan on the other side blowing into the cool tube but it still keeps it cool to the touch (will probably add another inline on the entry point with a carbon scrubber when smell becomes an issue)

This is my Master Kush (has grown mostly straight up im going to start topping to get the plant to be more bushy)

This one is White widow (it split into 4 main branches)

Just changed out the res noticed a little burn on the leaves im hoping the soup change will help

Today i re arranged the room Not pictured(because i forgot) is the new fan i got today and strung up.
I was given some seeds i had some grow cubes that i stuck them in and put in a humidity dome.. we shall see if any of them grow

IMG_20110517_195411.jpg(lights at 1000 watts) just for the test

The plants are doing great with fairly steady amounts of growth. They drank almost a gallon of water in 3 days. I rinsed and Ph'd my Hydroton. I ordered blunt needle syringe 10ML so that i could Very accurately measure my Ph up Ph down and nutrients (probably one for the protekt?? one for all the rest??) I also got some 5gallon buckets to do my mixing in. Whats everyone else use? Next up i need to get 4 5gallon containers

Also noted is the temperatures reaching too hot and the humidity far to low. I have a humidifier in the room + a small A/c unit which I am hoping to reduce those temps. Currently the Light is dimmed to 600w out of the 1000w bulb but with very little plants i see very little point in alot of light.

im trying to keep an
Optimal Temperature: Between 70 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit (21 - 29 degrees Celsius). (anything over 78 requires Co2 augmentation)
Optimal Humidity: 60 - 70% rH for vegetative growth.
40 - 60% rH during flowering (lower rH helps to reduce the risk of fungal contamination on your already moist dank buds).
80 - 90% rH for rooting clones and cuttings (high humidity is a must as these new plants may not have roots to draw moisture through).

Ps the little guy in the bottom left is a roomies. I't wasn't doing so great in his room so we moved him. i fed him a little, i hope he does better. I might transplant him into the big setup if i start it up soon
