The pumps were on 24/7 for the first 2-3 weeks then i switched to 15 min of spray, every other 15 min.

great grow. wish i could find a green crack mother. cant wait to see the dried stuff.
i am really liking every tub grow i see. are the reservoirs in the bottoms of each 27g tub with the spray manifolds resting just above the water? but then dont the roots end up soaking in the reservoir? like a deep water culture? thats what kind of confuses me about the aeroponic tub setup. do you have tubs that are just reservoirs separate from the grow tubs? i got the idea that it's an aero system because the roots just dangle in the tub and get sprayed with mister pvc pipes for a lot of the day. but then you would have to have separate tubs as reservoirs.
this grow style is very interesting to me tho. seems like always really great results.

ok the 14 plants are green crack ive seen alot floating around in the bay.
how long did you vegg for?
so for veg ur using 3 parts gh nutes.
how much micro per gallon?
how much gro per gallon?
how much bloom per gallon? and when its all said and done what is ur ph reading and ppm?
youve also said that ur using AN nutes for flower . how much A per gallon?
how much B per gallon? and are they all ph buffered?
oh what week do you use the tarantula & the overload or do u use it through out the whole flowering phase?
do you use it with the A & B or by itself ( tarantula & overload)
sorry about all the ?'s but looking good just got a few of those gorilla tubs but instead of the diamond shape lid tops minds are 3 1/2" squares total of 24 squares. so ill be putting in 23 and leaving one for the pumps wire.

Ok I'll try to make sure I answer everyone...
klepto - During Veg and the first week of flowering, I ran the pumps 24/7
During the rest of flowering I ran them 15 on / 15 off, all day and night
Da Chef - The manifold rests just above the water so that the sprayers do not get flooded. Once the roots grow long enough, they do hit the res water... Once they do, they take off in growth. I kept two huge bubble stones in the water. So its like a combination Hydroponic/aeroponic/dwc/bubbleponic.
I will tell you that once the roots hit the water, its a daily chore to keep on the PH. I was getting up to 1.0 jumps in either direction daily... which does tend to hit your plant with a little PH shock here and there if you're not careful. you may see some light yellow coloring leaves or small spots on the leaves. I'd say the safest way to do it is to check your PH twice a day. My large PH jumps may have been due to possible underfeeding at a certain point, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
This style of growing certainly has a lot of different ways for you to approach it. I have seen people do a seperate res from the spray unit, but I opted to stay away from that... If you stay on you're ph and you have the air stones in the water to keep it oxygenated then you're fine... my roots grew like crazy and swallowed the airstones up haha
1ostbo1z - I veg'd for 2 weeks under 1000w MH. For the 3 part GH nutrients, this is what I'll say... for well rooted clones I ran 200 ppm for week 1 & 250 ppm for week 2 (an even mix of each of the 3 nutrients). Always make sure to add Micro first to the water and never mix the concentrates before adding to the water. You can cause nutrient lockout.
The Taranchula I used during week 1 & 2 of flowering to help the roots... and omfg did it help the roots... they blew the fuck up like spider webs. You can use it at different stages, even during Veg I think, so thats up to each person what they do. The overload I use during weeks 6 & 7 of flowering... and omfg did I see a difference with that stuff too. The buds swelled up almost overnight it seemed like.
I've seen the tubs you're talking about, at Lowes. I think they actually are better, but like the ones with diamonds they have a light colored lid that will allow too much light through. Make sure to cover it in some way to stop algae growth in your water. Also make sure to seal the edges of your lid with something or you can do what i did and lay folded up trash bags around the edge so it acts as a cheap water seal and you are still able to lift the lid if for some reason you need to (like maybe changing the pump if it goes out...)
Check out these roots... its insaine...
And I've got another 5-7 days left to finish curing the bud and I'll let you guys know how it goes
. I have been sampling the UK Cheese, because it seemed to dry out much quicker.

thanks mitus for your quick reply. cus i got mines to root in 5 days using the kln root stimulator by leaving the clones in kln for 2 hours and then into the aeromist system. this freakin system rocks but i haven't yet put ne nutes in so im kinda scared since they look so good now. thats why so many questions. but thanks alot. peace

you get PH flux by 1.0 huh? i thought i was the only one, no matter what system i run , i usually have to PH down twice a day when i run multiple strains in one rez, also when i use GH nutes with one single strain i get hard spikes like that, i fruckin hate chemical nutes, what flavor nutes do you use? see what aero does for the roots? that off the hook, i bet they drink 3 gallons a day, that also contributes to hard ph spikes, they drink much more water than they take up nutes, leaving behind a higher concentration of salts, these salts fuck with your PH...your current PH probs is a result of huge root systems drinking water and evaporation

thanks for a good answer mitus. i also just downloaded a how to book for hydroponics. very cool. i am starting to love ebooks. almost makes me want a kindle, but not reallys. lol. anyway, i do understand the method a lot more now. it seems to me the best indoor grow method by far. very easy to build/understand with some of the best results i have seen. i think keeping a separate separate would cut down on infection possibilities tho.
only think with the separate reservoir is you would have to add another line that would return the sprayed water to the reservoir, which could complicate things by having to get a second pump to draw the sprayed water to the reservoir.
but that could cut down on possibilities of algae/mold.

how many plants was the green crack
Mitus

14 green crack and 1 cheese plant
Mitus wow that was a great grow rep for you.
Da Chef where did you D/L how to book for hydroponics at?

Thanks everyone for showing the love. It truely was a great experience for me.
The Cheese is a truely unique bud... I can only describe it as "funky..." and I swear I get the after taste of cheddar cheese in my throat after smoking it ahahaha... It's totally a daytime bud for me cuz I can smoke it all day and still funciton.
The Green Crack on the other hand I have to be careful lol... That is seriously some of the strongest bud I have smoked in the about 12 years I've been smoking.
Tonight I went to a buddies place and made some full melt bubble hash. It's fucking amazing is all I can say... Those bubble bag kits they sell on the internet really do the job well. I'll attach a few pics. I don't have a weight on the hash yet sry and its losing weight everytime I enter the room ahaha.
