Aeroponic Af-Gooey

Got this info on my strain, thought I would post.



Afgooey is gaining popularity in California Med Ddispensaries and it's lineage is fairly oldschool. She is a cross between Maui Haze and the original Afghani #1, which she tends to resemble. She's very gooey and yields above average. Also above average is her potency, the high tends to couch lock and be very narcotic. It's taste has been described as nutty or woody although I'd desvcribe it as pleasantly hash like.

You can get cuts of these at the dispensaries and they describe it as 'Romulan on Steriods' and that's fair enough.

Mr I Can Do That For Half
Looking good there. The eaten leaves in the other pics look like what I had some earwigs do to some plants I had before..Did that netting help stop the tip overs I know thats 1 thing I have yet to get right yet they get so heavy they wanna lean. Im thinking building a pvc grid and putting it up right away and let them grow right into it. I also found out as I wanted to see the difference in growth with and without co2 that without co2 slows growth down by almost 2 weeks compared to with.So inside this setup is a line with little holes like a soaker line that when turned on sprayes and then the butes run off like a NTF system where the nutes are a river inside?? When you get done can you take a picture of the inside lines if you get a chance Im curious. I found new 5 x 5 posts I think that will work even better for my units they cost twice as much per post but will be worth it and I can use 4 inch pots for more stability.

Def take those pics when all is said and done.

Yup, inside is a laser-drilled jet spray line that shoot at 45 degrees. The splash from the jet spray is the aeroponic side. The continuous cycle just pushes a very very very low river through the tubes (of course in the beginning the water level regulator tubes are high and it is a serious river of nutes).

Oh yeah, trellis netting. My system is weak. I overestimated the strength of my stems and have done 2 layers of trellis over a 2 week period. Probably could use more. Using a roll of flexi-ties too to get those 1 on 1 bud tipping problems. My friend said he had built a bamboo grid like you might be talking about, and could raise it with plant growth, though I don't see how you could raise WITH growth w/out damaging the plants. Either way, earlier is better I just found out......

I would like to see the designs for the setup with the 5x5 posts. I would like to run longer AND larger posts with the same setup and just retrofit mine when I have more time!

Thanks for some good insight.

Nice work man - these GH set ups are so nice. Are you going to harvest in a few days here? You said you put in the Florakleen - that's a pretty good short cycle. Af-gooey looks like a very nice strain.

Hey thanks, GH has really helped ease me into the aero thing.

Prolly not harvesting for about one and a half to two weeks I'm guessing, I just clean my res, posts, and spraylines w Florakleen for 2 hours in between res changes.


I wish my cycle was that short. We shall see.........yea

Those look nice! Finally someone who used some strong healthy clones.
How long is your Aero? I think the 40 is a little longer......take that back. 10 sites per post each.
Are those plants in dirt in the V space in between in your pic? If so, i would put the first 1000 parallel and the furthest from the res horizontal like a T. 2 1000s would blow that table up if you have good heat control.....
Me personally, I think I'm scrapping the V setup and running all the posts parallel next round so that my canopy is more uniform and the trellis frame isn't a hassle. Any dirt girls I throw in I can just dot around the edges.
Anyway, lookin nice there. Love to see some more setup pics..... what strain?

Well this is my first set up so I&#8217;ve learned allot already! I can tell you what stain I will be growing from now on. It&#8217;s this green crack! Which is an afghan X indicia hybrid... They luv the set up and are going to strive! I have a few other strains Plat Kush, Shiva, Blackberry Kush! It&#8217;s hard to get one stain of good clones. What are you growing?
So what do you plan on doing as far as harvesting?
One opinion I heard was to clip the tops and throw the light back on for 24 hours a day for 3 weeks putting the plan back into flower...yielding twice in five months....

What do you think?
What is your yield estimate?

As far as the set up going I made it myself... Got a copy of the plans and went at it! Added what i thought to be a few up grades... added double the misters and mist lines, lifted the PVC a 1/2inch off the bottom of the grow chamber, and increased the size of grow pot to 5inch... the dirk girls have been around sense last grow season and never really took off .. so I just through them under the light....

So how concerned are you about power usage?

Green Crack, nice, yea. I tried that stuff pretty recently.... If I remember correctly, yea, I def liked that strain. It was a monster to smoke, I can't wait to see the grow!

I'm growing the NCG (northern cali goo). I thought about doing the rejuvenation harvest, but with all the trouble, I think I'd rather clean my res out and tweak my system for the next round. For me, too much power drain with not very good results. If the results were good, EVERY grower would rejuvenate.....

Def would luv to see the guts on your system if you have any pics! I want to see the PVC lifted off the bottom of the grow chamber and the extra misters!!

And the power usage question? confused...... hook a brotha up to understand the plan.

Flowering day 50.

Got some new toys. Little import DVD player that only plays foreign discs, check. nice.....hmm... yea, it'll work. Saw on Mythbusters a massive diff in plants subjected to no music vs. plants with over a 2 month grow period. So I'm all over it.

Sick 60x-100x magnifier the better with to see you.

blah blah blah full on nute schedule res change

GH Gro 0
GH Micro 4
GH Bloom 20
Hygroz 10
Hdroguard 5
Sweet 20
KoolBloom .25 tsp

EC 2.2
ph 5.3

So I'm thinking maybe like 1 week, week and a half left tops.
I have been progressively tightening the trellis netting to pull the lead colas into an upright position to finish flowering. I was starting to get some blank spots on the shaded portion of the cola.

Cut away some old fan leaves that were covering a couple larger flowering sites.

Okie fucking dokily. pics.



Close ups to come...........

My mouth is watering.

I am thinking of ordering the GH Aero 20. Everyone who has one of these Aero setups has beautiful crops.

Good luck and keep up te good work!
