Root aphids

Its only fair to say that i was wrong in my statement about the canna. It turns out that i am infested with root bugs from clones i bought from a local idiot!! I thought it was defiencies but it was the bugs. Time to start over.

I recently started a new grow and switched from the full botanicare line of (organics) to Canna aquas (inorganic). I did this so that i could supplement with 35% h202 and keep things nice and clean. Its been 10 days now (with the canna aquas) and i have had major defiencies from day one. Ive...

Thanks Tree farmer! Ive got all the knowledge to move ahead now thanks to you and atomizer. I will be sure to update you with the grow once its underway. Happy growin!!

I made this roughdraft to show what i had in mind. 1 inch pvc running along the back wall to a manifold , 1/2 inch pvc feed lines from the manifold to each of the 4 systems. I assume the solenoid is after the pump hooker to a timer? Im not sure what you mean about the pump hardly ran if im set...

Thanks Atomix. do you think this pump will do the trick? I feel like such a dork asking ...but im just completely lost when it comes to pumps and such. Is there a different type of pump that can be mounted outside the res ? http://www.little-giantpump.com/new_page_18.htm

Brilliant! Thats a great idea! Ive been racking my brain trying to come up with a solution for this vertical aero cube project. I couldnt get past how to plumb the cube together, and still be able to get inside of the cube to maintain the plants. I like the idea of the top manifold...

I think i will just go with low pressure. Can anyone recommend a pump that can be cycled continually in very short intervals (like 1 min on 5 off) or even (30 seconds on 30 off) without damage or short lifespan, and be able to power 60 sprayers running off 1/2'' pvc going up and down from...

Thanks for the enlightenment Treefarmer. Hooking all the drain gutters to one reservoir and pumping it back to the res was my next move. Do you know of a pump that will work for this? It would need to cycle on and off and suppply 60 lp sprayers with adequate spray patterns? (i min on 5 off) ...

Aww,,, so its kinda pointless to go higher pressure and strive for that fine mist we know the roots love in such a small grow chamber? Would my best bet be to find a pump that could power 60 lp aero sprayers and forget about trying to get a pressurized system? the whole point off this is im...

Im still learning how all this works. I would need a pump that could power 60 misters. Each bucket will have a mister, 60 buckets (plant sites). 15 per wall. I could be way off and probably am, thats why im asking you guys. Thanks for the help. Here is a quote from fatman that gave me the...

Howdy pump heads!! Ive got some studying to do and wondered if i could get some ideas. Im running a low pressure aero setup i built (see pics) I finishing up the 4 walls and will be running on all 4 cylinders soon. Its low pressure (1267 submersible pump) and ezclone red sprayers. Each wall...

Mad farmer has some 35% h202 called oxygenator. It here in the states, i just dont know if its exactly the right stuff or not?

Al or anyone who knows. Can you switch from organic nutes to inorganic nutes after the plants have been vegging for 4 weeks with organic (botanicare)? I want to experiment with these plants ready to go into flower with Canna aguas and H2O2 . Im hoping that the root slime im getting at week 4...

Hey AL thanks for the response regarding switching to inorganic...and i will. I was reading up on the harvest a lb every 2 week thread.. and i think you mentioned that you never add nutrients to a half eaten reservoir beacuse you never really know whats in there. my question is how do keep your...

Ive read the whole thread..thanks Al for all the great information! Ive been running the full botanicare mix for the last couple years in an aeroponic stinkbud system. I always get brown semi slimy roots at (weeks 4- harvest). How would you battle that when using an organic nute such as...

Im hoping to get some feedback on this venture good or bad. I want to utilize a grow tent and some extra equiptment i have laying around. I am building a wood frame to hold 4 posts in a V sog type clone grow x2, with a vertical light setup. The reservoirs will be 27 gallon strong boxes, i can...

I veg for 3-4 weeks,, i was using 1000watt lights but the plants started to burn so i went with 600s and its much better. This is an aero NFT setup. heres the progress so far at day 38 top2 pics and day 21 bottom pic.

Ive been reading this thread and its very interesting. First time going vertical.. so far so good. I will let ya know if i get better yields with the vert as opposed to horizontal. normal horizontal setup below.. i average about 20-25 ozs with 8-10 plants.
