UPDATE: sorry its been a few days.. Ive been kind of busy... I am making a couple changes to the room and I still havent flipped the lights... Actually, my pump got turned off for about 20 hrs. and I almost lost the entire crop! Most of the plants came through ok but some are just not the same. I will post more pics later tonight of everything new in the room. I am having an issue and I'm not sure what it is. HELP ME!!

This is happening to a few of the plants.. I dont know if its a burn or a deficiency... Please help me.. The partial yellow greening is mostly on the Sour D clones that I used. The brown spots are on a few different plants.. The pH was around 5.7 and the ppm was 810.. I lowered it to about 490 last night.

UPDATES: Ok so I will put up all the pics after the updates.. I'm a little less than a week into flower right now.. I did 60 hrs of dark and witched and flipped the lights on Tuesday. I have all of the HPS bulbs in there now instead of the MH conversion bulbs. They are 12/12 from 7:30 pm to 7:30 am they are on. I am trying to keep the room @ 45% RH and 74 degrees. When the lights are on, my CO2 ppms are at 750. I did a res change today.. I am changing it every week. Before I change it, I throw in H202 and florakleen for about 3 hours to clean it out. I put in fresh RO and nutes in today. I put 1tsp/gal diamond nectar, 1ml/gal floralicious plus, 1ml/gal super thrive, .5 tsp/gal koolbloom, 1.5 tsp/gal of each of the 3 flora series nutes and 6 tsp total of pH up. My readings were ppm-1200, pH5.7, temp 70. I am also in the process of putting in the frame that I will hook the trellis to and also partially bend the plants so that they maximize light usage! The mothers are doing well! I found mold on one of them today. I am now going to have to get a sulfur burner and a dehumidifier. I got the mold because the RH in that room is like 60% (way too high). I just couldn't afford another dehumidifier yet... now im screwed! There may be more I'm forgetting so I will post as I remember!

These are the Northern Lights seeds (feminized) that I got from Nirvana!Heres the mommys!Like I said, I started to notice some mold on one of them.. Any suggestions on the quickest solutions... I'm all ears! Now onto the main event...I am using 3/4" pvc for the frame.. I have a 16'x4' trellis that will go over top. I will also be tying the plants on the outer tubes to that so that they grow sideways and all of the leaves get light! This is also a new addition.. I just blows outside air into the room.. My carbon filter is so powerful that it sucks in the walls so I added this fan to blow fresh air in!!

As always, ALL questions, comments, concerns etc are welcome and very much appreciated!!

I tied down the plants today.. I mostly tied them to the sides tso that the middle gets more light and so that the lower buds could get more light also!I did some serious trimming to the mothers.. I hadn't trimmed them in about 2 weeks and they were out of control!The mothers...I built this table today so that I could have the dehumidifier drain straight into the RO bin.. I use these bins as fresh water for the res.Tri-Meter...

Alright.. here are some more pics taken from my cellphone!! Sorry they are not the greatest but I just ordered the new Canon Rebel t1i.. Its being shipped so as soon as it gets here, I will post some high quality pics..

There are some serious trichomes developing on the flowers and they are becoming more and more dense by the day. Tuesday was the 3 week mark of me switching the lights so next tues will be a month :smile: I am gettin all anxious! I notice that some of the lower leaves are dying off. I think it due to lack of light but there is nothing more that I can do right now. Maybe for next crop I will start looking into side lighting. I am also going to need that in my mother room. I also just ordered a dehumidifier for that room. The lower leaves dont look so hot in the mother room either because the t5's are too far away! Current reading in the flowering room are co2 ppm-1250, temp- 70-78, humidity- 40.. Water stats-- pH-6.8, temp-69, ppm 1000!! ALL QUESTIONS COMMENTS AND CONCERNS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!!!

I'm currently running a home made 64 site aero/nft system I built off of that design. I used 98"x5" fence tubes. I can tell this isn't your first time, and hope to have a room exactly like yours in a few months. Great grow, I can't wait to see what kind of yields you get! What strain r u running again?

Do you have any pics if your root mass? I've been in veg fir 3 weeks and I have some 18" long. Also... How many inches was your smallest/biggest plants BEFORE flower, and what are their size now? How many oz's do you plan to get from this harvest?

i have 11 different strains growing to check out which ones give the best smoke and the best yield. The biggest yielder looks to be the Hawaiin Maui Waui but there are some others close on her heels!

My local hydro shop told me that u can spray aza upto a week before harvest. He also said the secret is to spray every so many days because aza works on bugs not eggs. So you have to spray after the eggs hatch but befor the new bugs have a chance to reproduce. I think he said every 3 or 4 days for 20 days. Don't quote me. Opinions are like assholes...

I'm hopeing to get 20-30 grams per plant. I have some plants at 12" tall now. The reason I was asking about the size before flower, is Cuz I don't want to overgrow them. I'd hate to have to top them after 12/12, because I can only let them get so tall. I'll be posting some pics and starting a journal when I get some pics transferred from my phone or my laptop. Kudos again on the aero grow. I'm excited to see how it turns out for ya!

Im hoping to get a minimum of 1 lb. per light... I have 4. Maybe I could get more but this is my first time using aero and I have made some mistakes along the way. With all my extras in the room though I am hoping to still get around 4 lbs. As far as the azatrol... you can absolutely not spray that close to harvest. It stays in the plants system for up to 30 days and will make the bud smell and taste horrible.. In addition, the last 30 days of harvest you can not spray anything at all as it will damage the buds! I was in veg for a while because of some mistakes that I made but my tallest plant was about 2' tall.. generally people flip the lights when they are between 6" and 12" tall... All of my plants were different heights though so I just played the waiting game... The plants are over 4' tall right now... I can still move the lights up about 8 inches if I need to though.. Also, I dont know if you noticed all the pvc around the system.. I have some of the plants tied down so that they grow off to the side so that the lower buds get more light! I dont have any pics of the roots currently as they are too hard to pick up now... I had an issues with root rot due to line temp and all t he plants had to grow new healthier roots! When I took my seeds out of the ezclone60, there were some that were 18"... check back through the old pages. There are some pics from when I did the transfer from the ezclone.. check it out!! Let me know when you get some pics up and stuff so I can check it out... Let me know if I forgot anything or if you have any other questions!
