Jim's experience with the aeroflo..

Please guys and gals, do not hesitate to suggest anything that would improve my crop..

or feel free to talk about anything.....

Im tearing up some caramel sutra and gonna watch the latest Grimm..love that freaking show!

Time to change the nutes.....

Changed water and nutes:

Plant height: Tallest is 19”

Water for rinse: Only needed 6-1/4 gallons (1-1/4 jugs) for this one. Rinsed/ran clean water for 20 minutes.

New water added: 7 gallons

Nutes: 200 ML Bloom, 100 ML Micro & 7-8 ML Big Bud

Tube height: 1/2”

Light height: 14” from pvc to bat wing wire. To clarify, the bat wing wire is always about 1” above the tops of the tallest plants.

Final stats:

PPM: 2160

pH: 6.0 (went down to 4.9 after nutes went in so I upped it and it’s staying steady).

Water temp: 73

Air temp: 72

Humidity: 50

Plants are growing great! 6 “ in 7 days, pretty damn good!

The ladies are looking extremely good! Little flowers are finally there!

This grow is the one I showed earlier in this thread, started with the crappy little yellow cones.....

25" is the tallest today, that means 6" in 5 days, damn these girls are growing! I don't think the high nutes are hurting since the growth went from 6" in 7 days to 6" in 5 days after adding the large amount of nutes (5 days later). The new growth is light green whilst the older leaves are a nice dark green, so far, so good!

1st week and 6th week....

It still amazes me! LOL!

Here's a couple of pics of my rig on a light rail. It looks a bit rigged but it's worked very well for a couple of years now! It's all about cord management!

I use the adjusta wings, they've worked really well for me, I have a great ventilation system so the heat, at least in the winter, is never an issue. I've bought a small portable A/C for this coming spring/summer. We'll see if it will allow me to grow in the summer.

2-1000 watt lamps, only using 1 now due to a clone snafu...Is that a real term in cannabis speak?!

I'm going to try some autoflowers for the next grow, found some fairly cheap Big Bang fem autoflower. Just want to see what all the fuss is about

You're doin' fine, Jim!

Michael, thank you SO much!

Just checked em' again and they're looking great!

Why not get a few good mums and just crank the clones out and straight into flower no veg? I see you have a couple of systems there you could harvest every 4 weeks if you found a good 8 week strain.

I've got some good clone moms, just can't clone autoflowers though. Yeah, both those should've been full, tried a new way of cloning, only had room for 20. Next time I go off clones, I'll have 40 to plant.

Autos are weird, I do not prefer them, not sure what all the fuss is about.

I've heard good and bad, I just want to try them out....
