Your setup is supa clean!Any more add on's besides the air-pumps(fans, venting with inline etc, etc)?
Day 1
I'm back from my first adventure in hydroponics. I certainly learned a lot on my first grow. It's amazing the plants even lived but somehow I pulled 7.5 Oz of dry dispensary quality buds.
I'm a 215 patient on my second grow for personal use. I'm looking forward to working in what I experienced on the first grow to make this one even better!
I have a slightly modified BCNL Producer with 18 rooted Fire OG Kush clones sitting in rockwool cubes and hydroton. I'm using RO water with a little calmag, hygrozyme, Sensi Grow and a dash of RapidStart. PPM is at friendly 150 now.
Below is a few photos of my rig, the extra air that I've added and the clones in their new home.
This thread is alway open for comments and advice.

Day 9
Temp: 68º f
Humidity: 37%
I found powdery mildew on about a third of the plants. Pretty bummed. I chopped a few leaves last night and sprayed them with a solution of 3/4 RO water and 1/4 milk. I'll buy something more serious on the weekend. With that said the growth so far has been good. I even have some roots poking out the bottom already.

Day 12
I flipped the water today with 15 gallons of RO. PPMs are at 300. The milk/water solution is seeming to keep the mold issue at bay. It leaves a little residue on the leaves which doesn't look so great but that's better than dead plants. I think I'll go one more week of veg and then flip them into flower.

My producer has the intake on the bottom left, exhaust top right. What I did is connect the two with ducting to provide circulation and cut two new holes in the opposite corners. To the new top left hole I attached a 4" vortex to push through a 4x12 phresh filter. Although a little louder, this setup actually keeps my box a degree or two below room temp and humidity at around 50%.
Day 17
About done with veg. I'll flip the water this weekend and turn on the 2 400 watt bulbs.
P.S. That's milk all over the leaves.
