Hey everybody I'm back at it again with the same exact set up as last time only with Blue Dream instead of Grapefruit Kush. Just to remind you all I am using a 400W HPS in a 4x4x6.5 grow tent in a home made stinkbud aeroponics system. This time I decided to go with half strength nutes because last time I got some pretty bad leaf curl and I wanted to avoid that this time. I have an issue though I started the off with halkf strength of the FF feeding schedule with a PPM of 530( the chart says -1120-1260) and I am still seeing a slight curl. Maybe I am seeing things so maybe you guys can help, I want to stop it before it gets any worse. Here are some pics.

Love the strain choice. I wanted to put together an aero setup like yours; where did you find the square tubing?

Ok so I am at week three, they are definatly starting to bud pistils are popping up everywere. I switched to flowering nutes last Wed, other than that nothing new to report just constant monitoring and TLC.

I did notice a small leak at the end of the right channel so after I get off work I am going to put some more silicone around the edge.

here are the pics

Nice setup, I just got a tent a few days ago and I use a 400w also, can you show pictures of your ventilation setup?

After I do soil I want to try hydro, then Aero... Good luck with your grow

Nice, hopefully when the funds get better I'll be able to do something similar. I'm using a loaner 400w hps with attached ballast driving up my temps. My tent is the DR120W and I'd like to set it up like yours after a few cycles of soil.

So it only cost about $90 to build huh? Interesting, I play softball in Santee every Tuesday, maybe I can get a few tips on a similar setup for 4??
