1600w 60 Site Aeroponic Grow

Hey guys,

Starting it off right this time with a good grow journal. This is my second grow and first in aeroponics. Last grow was only 3 big plants in 5 gallon buckets, 2 were AK-48 and the other was Lowrider. Ended up getting about 6oz total, not what i had hoped for but it was a good start for the first time.

I moved into the house and the basement was a pretty good area for a couple grow rooms so i set to work designing it in paint!

Here is what I came out with



Decided to make our own 60 site aeroponic system for ~$300

Above it is a 1000w HPS with sunsoaker reflector




The mother room is still under construction, I think we might do one plant for every 5 gal bucket but its really a pain to change the water in each one. Here's what it looks like though



The clone room came together today just need to spray paint the top of the cloner white, all the little guys in there right now are bag seed, were doing a run through with some crappy stuff to make sure everything goes right. Once we get going we have 10 Medi-Bud seeds and 10 Ice seeds from marijuana-seeds.nl



The fan worked out pretty well, there is an old coal chimney that just needed a little cleaning in the access vent, so that runs right to the roof



I guess that's all for now since were still getting going but if you guys have any comments/recommendations..etc

let me know!

For those interested, this is what we made the aeroponic system from

Very nice set up, me likey

awesome setup. i like it and think you should do well

thanks guys! actually might be getting some clones from a friend so we might try that for a first trial run

hey guys

well all the bag seed plants are ready to go into the aeroponic system but i am having trouble keeping it from leaking.

the 3/4" pipes have 1/4" grommets with little black hard plastic connecters half of it sticks into the pipe and half you put your 1/4" hose the sprayers on. Water is leaking from the grommets even though i have siliconed the shizz out of all them and a lot are still leaking. Is there an adhesive spray or something that i can spray on and stop the leaks rather than having to do it by hand one by one like silicon which obviously doesnt work

bump anyone have an idea?

got everything going a couple weeks ago, they have been under 12/12 for about a week and a half. Using GH Grow, Micro, Bloom, Florablend. However, I am looking into testing some different nutes that really grow big colas any suggestions?

here is the only pic i have right now

Any feedback?

great setup! what strain are you growing?

this is all bag seed right now for a run through. We have Medi-Bud and Ice from www.marijuana-seeds.nl We have one Medi growing right now and just waiting for the 3 more medi and ice seeds i jsut germinated to get going and become mothers. We will be getting some clones this weekend, not sure what strain yet, whatever the dispensary has.

here are some more pictures from today

hey guys,

sorry this has taken so long to update, just been busy with life and building the room and getting everything together, oh and a lot of so i would want to start typing but got too lazy.

So we got the room all built out and got some mylar up. Getting a new roll soon and then we will wrap it good. co2 is here but we are still waiting for the PPM meter so that should be all setup next week. We are having some debates on lighting, originally got a 1000w HPS thinking it would cover everything, it obviously doesn't so i added my 600w and that helps but i think the bulb might be a little burnt out? it doesn't seem to put out the lumens as it used to but maybe im used to the 1000w now.

Anyway we are debating doing (2) 600w or (2) 1000w, our plan is to get two easycool 6's from htgsupply along with a 6" fan and mount it to the ceiling connected to the two lights and have it just blow air through everything and back into the room.

I have attached some pics of the building materials, if you have any questions ask

lastly here are some of the newest pics, plants really exploded and 2 of them are taller than the light just about. The medi-bud plant which will be our mother along with 2 others look really good. This strain really stinks, it smells right now in vegging i cant imagine what shell smell like flowering

Nice man, way to represent for us Spokane growers =) Aeroponics look neat looking forward to seeing the end result.

hey guys ill post this in my other thread too, i typed up a whole long response yesterday but pressed the wrong reply button and lost all of it.

So to begin with, sorry for not updating this with pics, i always meant to just always seem to get distracted. anyway we ended up with 1 3/4 lbs from the bag seed (i think we had about 22 plants) which i was very surprised with, co2 makes all the difference in the world. Im excited to have co2 on from the beginning on this new stuff, should have very good yields.

Overall we learned a lot by doing the bagseed in this system, definitely will make future crops much better. Overall the quality is about a 6 which was expected and looks are about a 5 to 6. Wish we could have ran it with some better genetics but oh well thats what were doing now.

So we have 1 Medi-Bud (http://www.marijuana-seeds.nl/medi-bud-seeds.html) mother and to begin with were going to have a couple of those and just take clones every 9 days. We then had a hook up for clones and were just going to buy 10 clones every 9 days but the guy got raided sooo heres what is happening for the moment

we have about 12 medi-bud clones that are almost ready to go, along with that we have 1 of each of the following ice, white widow, chronic, triple cross, afghan skunk1 blackberry, blue cheese, cheese and blueberry.

Were going to get all those going and then take some more medi-clones. Next time i head to the westside of the state, i plan on getting any clone that sounds tasty. probably another 4 strains of 5 each, then 2 weeks later doing the same thing

I will follow all this with new pictures of the room, we just got 2 Easy cool 8's with a 1000w in each one of them. we also have the 600w over the mother so we are now at a 2,600w grow.

pictures will be up within 24 hours, again feel free to ask any questions!
