Lol, the setup was intended for the entire room and 40 plants. I cut it back just a little....
I said earlier this is just a smaller prototype to the larger system I'm going to build after this first test run.
For sure though, if this was my final setup I would have at least 6 plants in there.

They aren't even in the prototype system yet, I am still waiting on 1 more bulkhead. They are still in the veg unit lol.Lol, the setup was intended for the entire room and 40 plants. I cut it back just a little....

So I finally got the bulkhead and got everything all set up. Its all working great so far, but this is just a test run though and this is the first time I have ever used this system. Hopefully everything will run as smoothly as planned.
I changed the water today(monday). I am running 680ppm, 5.6ph. The air temperature is 73-78.5 degrees always, and the water temperature is 67-68 degrees always.

Don't mind if I do heh
Speaking of which, I got this crazy shit from the club today. It is a new form of extraction...and I thought there couldn't be any more types. Well it turns out that you can extract THC with Co2 lol, go figure right?
Well, it hits like a truck....second it has a wierd consitancy, like hair gel or cloning gel lol. Although you put it on your bowl like you would oil or wax, a needle or wtvr.
Here it is:

So everything is going great with the new system. The PH is going up a little fast but I'm guessing the plants are "hungry". I'm pretty sure PH rises as the plants use nutrients. It goes from about 5.8 to 6.3 in 12 hours or so, which isn't bad I guess that way they get the full range of nutrients. I switched out the 600 watt light to 1000 watt yesterday and they seem to be really blowing up, can't wait to see them in full flower!

So where is everyone..? Lets get some convo going guys. 
Anyways, the ladies are doing well. As you can see some of the leaves got a little burned from the ppm problem the other day but they seem to have recovered at this point. They are growing at a good pace, and the lower calyxs of the Og already have crystals on them lol...didn't expect to see that in the second week of flowering, maybe the third or forth. The day time temps are held at 79-80 and the night temps are 72-73. I still have my humidifier in the tent and I'm keeping the humidity at 60 or so until after the forth week, then I will start to use a dehumidifier. I have been changing the PH once a day, it rises from 5.6-5.8 to 6.3-6.5. I will be changing the water on monday.

[quote="SICC";2021381]Everything looks like its goin according to plan, there really starting to pick up, lookin great made, you got it down 
[/quote]
Thanks SICC, I have learned from my mistakes to know what plan is best....and that is...expecting for shit to never go according to your plan lol. Seems to work out better that way, expect the worst but hope for the best. Later when I'm used to this system hopefully I won't have to do that, but this will be my first time all the way through with aero/nft so I wanted to play it safe. Thanks for checkin out the grow!
