    Day two, I swapped out one of the seedlings in the aeroponics as the roots were not forming like the others. I have 3 more seedlings in rapid rooters I may move to soil. The new transplant is already doing better than the one I took out.

    I picked up a 1/10th chiller as my rez temps were getting up to 80 degrees. Light does penetrate my rez so I don't want to be dealing with no funky algae. I also added a CAP Humidity controller for my humidifier and took it off the timer. I was exhausting too much on the timer. Now with my setup I'm maintaining perfect humidity without exhausting my CO2.

    Right now I'm maintaining 80-85 degrees, 55%-65% humidity, 1500 PPM CO2, 6.0-6.2 PH, 62 Degree Rez and 300-400 PPM nutrients.

    Nutrient Solution, 10 Gallon RO water.

    6.25ml H&G Aqua Flakes A&B
    10ml H&G Roots Excelurator
    5ml H&G Drip Clean
    25ml Botanicare Cal-Mag
    25ml Botanicare Silica Blast
    25ml Technaflora B-1

    Default Blue Mystic, House & Garden, 600 Watt sealed room grow

    Day 5, I changed the reservoir today and double checked the calibration on the tri-meter. I bumped up the Aquaflakes A&B from 6.25ml to 10ml and the Cal-Mag from 25ml to 60ml, everything else remained the same. I put my two remaining seedlings into some Foxfarm soil. I'll probably give one away as a Christmas present and keep one for a mother plant.

    25ml Botanicare Silica Blast
    25ml Technaflora B-1

    Edit: (12-24) I added two additional gallons of RO water bringing the PPM down to 350 from 400. I was starting to get some tip burning on my largest plant.

    Day 6, I started showing signs of leaf curling and some very slight tip burn after increasing my nutrient solution. I have now brought my PPM's down to 320, reduced my room temp from 80-85 to 75-80 and switched from a 24/0 light cycle to a 20/4 cycle. Hopefully that will make them happy again. Once they get a little stronger I will bump everything back up again. I guess I'm trying to push them to hard. Growth has been very exceptional despite the slight problems.

    Week 1, Day 1, the plants are still recovering from nutrient burn. I'm out of RO water so I need to run to the store, my PPM's have crept back up to 350 and I need to get them down around 300-320. The roots have really taken off the last few days and my largest plant is still growing faster than the rest. I will probably narrow my grow down to the two best plants as I'm planning on doing a SCROG.

    I will also start foliar feeding this week at some point.

    Current stats are; 20/4 lights, room temp 80-85 day and 65-70 night, humidity 50-60%, CO2 1500 ppm, nutrients 300-350 ppm.

    Built a new Aeroponics system today to replace the one I am currently using. I have found Stinkbuds design to be a PITA to maintain in a small room. I should have everything up and running with the new system tomorrow.

    Im subbed, That must have sucked having to start over, paid 300$ for my seeds so I cant imagine how I would feel if I had to "pull the plug". guess its good that it was only into the first week and not further along in the grow. These are feminized seeds your working with?

    Yeah, I'm using feminized seeds since I'm planning on probably doing a SCROG. I had enough Blue Mystic seeds to start a new grow but I used all my AK48 in the first run. I also have some Full Moon seeds. I'm not sure I'm ready to grow a pure sativa yet as they take forever. I've been getting my seeds from Nirvana and have been very pleased so far.

    Week 1, Day 3, I've got the new system up and running. I was worried that putting the chiller in the same room as the grow would give me heat problems, but so far it hasn't been a problem. I plan on putting it back in the other room once I get some more 1/2 hose.

    I also decided to change up my nutrient regime. I am now using just the H&G products. The additional supplements were really leaving some heavy build up. I'm currently running 320-350 PPM and the plants seem to finally be happy.

    Nutrient Solution, 10 Gallon RO water
    30ml H&G Aqua Flakes A&B
    11ml H&G Roots Excelurator
    4ml H&G Drip Clean
    38ml H&G Multi Zen
    10ml H&G Algen Extract

    I didn't use any plans. I just sorta designed it myself in my head with some trial and error. It was something I came up with because I found several things about the Stinkbud design I didn't like. First off, the rez was open in the Stinkbud unit. That was causing me problems with humidity as well as potential problems with keeping the rez clean and growing algae. Next was maintenance. It was just simply to complicated to conduct any maintance on the unit in my specific setup.

    I wanted something that was completely sealed, easy to maintain and was more compact. So far it seems to be working very well. My plants really have perked up.

    Anyways, it's basically a 2X2 Bontanicare tray and lid with a 20 gallon rez. The tray just sits on top on the rez with a Ebb and Flow style drain fitting draining into the rez. I'm using a 1200 GPH pump and EZ clone nozzles.
