Tell him you need at least a grand, then take the money and run!

The higher the pH, the more bacteria (good AND bad) will proliferate.

I'd love to see a pic of a homemade 6-plant aero system with an external water pump. Anyone?

If you run your pump 24/7 in a small system, it will generate lots of heat and cook your nutes and cause root rot. Unfortunately, I have not found an alternative to the overpriced aero timers. So unless your floor is ice cold, I'd suggest the rip-off timer.

I once saw an aero setup where the dude kept the temps at 60 or below, the roots were pure white and the plants were very healthy if a little compact.

Also, I never heard of anyone screwing those jets into soft 1/2" tubing, how does that work???????

Those pumps usually come with a sponge filter that slips right onto the pump, better get one or those or those sprayers will clog quickly. Very cool looking system, I want to make one now.

General Hydroponics recommends ppms of 800 to 1000 in the instructions that come with their aeroflo systems. Aeroponics and dwc "bubblers" are totally different than straight hydro. I have mixed GH nutes according to the directions, I think if you exceed the (strong) directions on the bottle...

Oh AND you can't simply subtract the ppms from your water. It counts. Years ago I asked a hydro store worker if I had to include the ppms added by stuff like Hydroguard, Dark Energy, etc. and got a lecture on how it counts and the dude was CORRECT.

In a dwc/bubbler, you need to use less than the 1-2-3 tsps. per gallon they say on the bottle or you will get serious burn and/or leaf curl, and perhaps even "taco leaf." So, go easy on it, and NEVER exceed 1000 ppms.

I seriously doubt it's nute burn, with such miniscule ppm's. How are your temps?

don't kill it, it's too early to tell.

Well, there's GH 3-part, but I don't really dig it for aero (again, very little mg at 800 ppms, too little), I have used "Super Bloom A and B," a 2-part nutrient, costs like 60 bucks for a gallon of each, and it gives great results in aero around 800 ppms. Here's a neat trick - whatever nutes...

The ppms will be too high with Fox Farm (mixed according to label), but, if you dilute it down to say 800 ppms, you will likely have a magnesium deficiency. Rather than trying to create the perfect mix with Epsom Salt or CalMag, or any other mg supplement, I'd just use chemical nutes. Oh...

toss the humidity dome, you don't need it with seedlings.

Without ventilation, I predict a co2 deficiency.

Gotta cut it out. Only way, cut out all moldy areas. Although this crop is molded, you could use a sulfur vaporizer next time, around week 4 of flowering, to prevent it happening again. Works great in humid areas, costs just over $100.00, good investment. Also, you should keep heat down as...

if I remember correctly, the yield was pretty good. But I also remember 1 or 2 hermaphrodites (late in flowering). Yours look much better.

Looks great. I grew the Oasis about 6 years ago, and it looked way more sativa, and not as crystallized. Looks like they reworked the strain at some point and made it better.

A pH meter is an absolute must (keep between 5.2 - 6.5) and I'd recommend an ec/tds meter, so you can keep nute levels up but not too high. Most apt. growers run into ventilation and/or odor problems, hope you have a plan for that (e.g. use a carbon filter, vent out thru your bathroom vent).
