Here is a pic of some WW i finished about 6 weeks ago.
The room was 66º and I used the uvb lamp for the last three weeks.
It is very smooth smoke.

t has been a little over 4 weeks
since I took the first buds.

The three plants were all very different
in flavor and smell.
Here is a pic of the three phenotypes.

The bud on the left is the pure Afghan.
It has a great skunky bouquet in the jar,
and smokes with a great flavor.
It has a long lasting high.
It will be awesome in another month.

The bud in the center I call Red.
It has a little hay smell in the jar
and smokes Ok, with little flavor.
The high is OK, but shorter.

The bud on the right I call Afghan Widow.
The buds are very white and smell sweet in the jar.
The smoke is sweet, smooth, and the high is quick,
but shorter than the Afghan..

5 day update.

I added some sticky traps to slow down the gnats.
The big girl is 40 inches high.
I also added another 400w MH conversion bulb,
and did some training on the girl under it.



I put a couple of sticky spots in the rez also

i might have missed it, but do you have airstones in the res that your roots hang in? i saw one pic with them just hanging in stagnant water. also how much did your water chiller cost, and is it worth it? thanks a bunch for sharing, what a great grow, you definitely have it down to a science, like NASA would or something.....lol cant wait to see more:blsmoke:. i would like to build an aeroponic system myself, just a little simpler. theres too much plumbing there for me to mess up if i tried to build yours. :mrgreen:

I have a dual airpump,
with the hoses stuck in the rez,
and a powerhead.

I don't use airstones anymore,
they usually clogg for some reason.
The big bubbles coming from the hose,
works very well for hydro.

The 1/4hp chiller was $400 on ebay,
and makes my plants very happy.

If you can keep the room temp at 66,
or have the rez isolated in a cooler room,
then you can get by without the chiller,
but it is worth having,
to maintain a stable rez temp @ 67º.

thanks guru earl! you dont mind if i call you that do you? no but seriously, IMHO, you are a true master. have you calculated what grams/watt per 2 months you are getting? or grams/watt/1 month. you probably have .5grams/watt/30days, but im sure its contingent upon stain. thanks, ill be keeping an eye out to get pointers. :blsmoke:

Nice work Earl!! I think that I am going to have to copy your design, but put a box around the grow sight and ScrOG it.

Kool!
I hope you'll take some pictures
and show everyone your design.

Maybe with your design,
you will be able to add some Co2.

Be sure to keep me informed.
