I was going to do the whole hydro thing but way to Many people say it tastes horrible and the other half don't know what good weed tastes like. So what if a plant can grow abnormal and finish quick. That shit is just for cash crop. I even heard Cali dispenseries don't even fuck with hydroponic plants. Not to mention it's not even natural for a plant to grow like that. Respect for the aerogardens though cause it never hurts to try.

Mysticlown150 · Aug 12, 2009

Also I haven't smoked seaweed myself or kelp. So why would I smoke a hydro plant? No thanks.

Do you realize you just double posted and didn't leave anything informative or intelligent. We were having a nice conversation about soil and hydro, and you come in and leave unnecessary comments filled with "I heard this" and "I heard that."

(Seaweed? Kelp? You should be ashamed of yourself...)

Respect for the attempt at a meaningful post, though, cause it never hurts to try.

Do you have a thermometer/hygrometer?

You can go ahead and start the nutrients now, just start with like 1/4 tab.

You definitely need to keep an eye on that pH. That can cause some problems if it keeps fluctuating.

I do and its around 80 in there. and this morning i did another PH test and it was down to 7.0 so I put 2 drops in and I alos put in 1/4 of the AG 'small' tab

Cool man, try and keep your pH as close to 5.7 as possible. This will allow all nutrients to be available at all times.

Keep up the good work, and don't let anybody get you down!

Man, the GH nutes have done good by me so far. I know several people that are using them right now. It's a easy 3 part system that you can just follow a feeding schedule and fine tune it to your strain.

You can either use the GH websites feeding schedule or you can check out www.progressive-growth.com

Either one should do fine. I don't really know anything about the other nutrients because I've been focusing on tailoring these right now.

Hope it helps.

haha thanks I also tried to put the Intergalactic Proton Powered Electrical Tentacled Advertising Droids, but there isn't enough room at the bottom. Maybe i'll switch them from time to time

palmtree · Aug 20, 2009

I had to get rid of 2 of the others, because they roots didn't make it to the water, and another one had roots in the water, but the plant never made it to the top.

The left one and the one in the front are doing very well. The one to the back right is having problems getting the roots to the water. It poked out the side of the sponge instead of going strait down to the water.

Also, I am having problems keeping the PH down, it is still around 6.0, but it wont go any further down. I started by putting 1 drop of PH down, then 2, then 5, then a strong steady stream of PH down into the water. But still it remains around 6.0, any suggestions?

I wouldn't worry too much about the roots, they'll make it down there soon enough.

How far down does your pH tester go?

into the 3.0's i think

Ok, cool. I don't know man, that's weird that it won't go any lower. It should be OK at six though.

Froman · Aug 20, 2009

keep us posted

palmtree · Aug 21, 2009

Ok this PH is driving me crazy, today the PH was below 3.0!! Ah crap, I guess a steady stream of PH down into the res was a bit much haha. So I think 2 drops of PH up did it!

Besides the PH problem, the plants are growing very very fast! This sunday will be the 2 week mark.

Should I now switch to 18/6? Do I up the nuts? How often should I put nuts in? So far, every time I changed the water I put in 1/4 tab. Is that ok?

Yea man jus keep an eye on that pH.18/6 should be good, how many extra CFL's you got in there? How often are you putting water in there, just depends on how much they drink. I think your good with 1/4, just bump it up to half a small tab, then in a week go to half a tab and 1/4 of the other half, then eventually to a whole tab and so forth. I fed mine the tabs everytime i had to topp off the rez, then at the end of the week, give them a water change
