Got some new pics today. They are currently about four and a half weeks into bud. Got a lil burn and wind damage but nothin serious. Runnin a lil over half strength using GH Flora line. Can't wait til harvest!!!

Thanks, I plan on posting pics of em all when they are finished and posting the weights and everything like grams per watt and such. Glad to finally see someones watchin my grow. I was beginning to think no one was interested :(

haha.......ive been very curious about the ice strain and its quality and quanity it produces if grown right.....and ive been curious about them aeroflow systems the only thing that really worrys me is that the holes are so small so the plants cant get very big and i like to veg. for a month and half or 2 months so i dunno if it would work for me so i got my eye on this grow like a laser lol

:joint:Hello, everyone. This is my first grow using hydro/aero. Although, I am an experienced organic grower. I am growing a strain called Ice, which I've had AWESOME results with in soil. I started my clones in Grodans rockwool starter plugs, using clonex gel, and a hot house. I transplanted the clones into the AeroFlo yesterday after about 20 days in the plugs. I started out using a light solution of the General Hydros Flora series. I have heard good things about them. I will keep you guys posted daily on the progress. Im very excited about them. Like I said, Im new to the hydro, so if anyone has any tips or comments, feel free to hit me up.:joint:
looking great.
ice is one of my best strains.
a good strong easy strain to grow and is quite hardey.
i have one in my garden and its starting to stink its nearly 3 foot tall and topped many times it has about 12 main colas , hope it stays ok here in england.
i have also took about 15 clones a few days ago, because it hasnt started to fully flower yet, maybe 4 more weeks or so, someone said mybe the middle of sept. i dont know i havent ever grow much outdoor before.
i think i might grow the clones indoor under my 6oo hps, so i have lots to smoke over xmas.
nothing like a bit of ice @ christmas.lol

hardey means strong not easy to harm.easy to grow like sk#1.
and yes ice is a great strain to smoke.
very smelly strong, a bit like b.berry but without the blue.
a good all time fav.
where are you growing.

ill be growing it indoors if i decide to grow it im kinda stuck on either growing some ice or white widow or master kush i want the most potent of the 3 but yet enough yield to last me longer then a week lol

what you mean not enuf to last a week?.
how much you smoke???.in a week?
i smoke aound 14 grams a week min.
lol.........i was bein sarcastic i can smoke ne thing from 7 grams a week to 40 grams a week just depends on the week but yea i was bein sarcastic i just want the most potent with pretty good yield but potent is more important and ive heard that white widow doesnt yield very good but its one of the strongest around ive heard that master kush is 'ok' for potentcy but yields good and ive heard that ice is dank if grown right and yields excellent so i dunno yet i dunno what path to take lol

Hey joint,

A few things to think about if you want the most return on investment of labor and $:

In a previous life I ran something much like the aeroflow----except much improved---and here's why I think so.

1) with the tubes (channels) all the sme height----the tallest plants dictate light heigth, soooooo----why not hang the tubes from the ceiling using dog chain and the ability to slide them apart on a box rail and rollers (used for sliding barn, warehouse doors, etc----works great.

2) add to each tube a 1" drain fitting and hose and a 3/4" sprayline fitting and water hose for the spray line------this ambilical cord method allows tubes to be easily adjusted vertically (more plant material receiving light). This also makes easy access to the center of the canopy for prunning, trainning and harvest.

3) you didn't mention what kind of reflectors for your 1Ks, are they air cooled? Using a mover? ----if not----do so----well worth the investment.
Back in the day, my tubes were 6" x 10' pvc and three 1Ks (two in a 5' cool tube, one in a 2' cooltube------this method allowed me to place the lights around 5' from floor and position tubes so at finish ------product was all the way around the lights forming a cylinder of buds.

The reason I did this was to try and maximize our weakest environmental link----atrifical light intensity.

Don't know if you're still reading this----if interested---I'll try and find some old pics of the setup----lots more to offer to the "cause".

BTW---the main advantage to aero is more dissolved oxygen to the roots and the automation ability----plus monitor and controll.

I ran 7 ml micro, 14 ml bloom per gallon all the way through flowering---no complaints.

Have fun,

A~
