im asking you your opinion tho.
do you think that having coco wet all the time with oxygenated water will be bad?

Yes I do. Only from what I have read. Some folks cycle thier aero's on and off because of different functions of different parts of the roots. Two threads come to mind you may wish to check out and Lumberjack Jan posted a Organic/ hydrogow once that kinda fits this category. One of the post was in Potroast's thread on Hydroponics, I think its a sticky. There is a post there about results acheived by a tech that you should look at and Closet Cult has a thread using some interesting concepts that could apply. I think the roots can 'dry out a little' and get better results. I also noticed Al B talking about adding the fotocell so his roots 'dry a little'.
All of this is just what I think. If I get serious about aero, and I may, I will be sure to read everything Filthy Fletch has posted on the subject and probably read the 60 plant thread.
The coco will stay 'wet' for a long time, I have let pots sit for a few days after harvest and they are still wet at the bottom. Stopping the water from running will allow the water to drain to the bottom of the pot and oxygen gets drawn down to the top two-thirds of the roots. IMO VV

I bought the 8tube 4' fixtures. Research done by the owner of the hydro shop I visit showed the best yirld when using a 1/2 mixture of red and blue bulbs for the entire grow start to finish. He has owned the shop since 1983, thats good enough for me. VV

I read a lot of the thread, have been following from time to time. You need an opinion from someone familiar with the strain and system you are using. Could be normal maturity, I can't see colors well so I won't be able to help much. VV

Welcome and Dr. Toadstool, welcome as well. Be sure and check the Original Widow Makers journal, just ignore the bouncing objects and concentrate on what he says and does.lol
Not much to report, just some pictures. Any of you that can offer some help as to maturity of the colas please do, as I have stated I don't see colors real well. VV

yes, after I posted it, I realized the color wasn't very good and the lights are out so I'll have to wait to post a better one. I'm hoping the blueberry seeds arrive this week and I can get those started. Hopefully all of these will be harvested by the time I am ready to put the new ones in flowering and all of the varieties I ordered are supposed to be 8 week flowering instead of the 12 weeks these take. I will start a new journal for that. I am still deciding about increasing the number of tables and decreasing the number of plants per table after the first 4 weeks of flowering. Put 36 on a 4 x 4 table and then move them into flowering 9 per 32" by 4' table. Doing this should allow for a harvest every week. Of course the question is what kind of a yield can we get this way.

I just sat here and read this whole thread from start to finish, drooling all over my keyboard at those pics. There is no better motivation than seeing someone make it. Great Job! I can't wait to get my project moving along. The whole time I was reading your posts I was hoping I would get to the end and you were still here posting and u still are. I'm right next door in WI. I have always believed in t5 for vegetative, and after this thread I will also use a t5 or a t5hps for flowering. Is Nirvana the best place for seeds or is there another bank u can mention that is dependable? I'm looking for an Indica that will flower fast, Nirvana has some but I know there more, unless I was looking in the wrong place.

sorry I am the wrong one to ask about seeds. I had only ordered once until this month. I had the company marked in favorites and my computer crashed, I knew they didn't have blueberry at that time so I ordered from Peak Seeds. They have the DJ Short varieties and that is what one of my advisors recommended. I will let you know if I get them this week. VV

Nice journal VV. I like the T5 method.

All of those have been under t-5's only for all of the flowering. Table 3 in the previous pictures are under a 400 watt hps. The ice is more satavia dominant then the widow and crystal so they kinda all ended up together.VV bro haha what ones mine haha jk but you did not flower those under the T5 did you if so i am fucking amazed
I think a lot of it has to do with the use of the Fossil Fuel and the humic acids. I know I haven't ever had to flush a table because of a nute problem.
If you can tell me which plant it is on from the picture, number one-twelve,left to right, I'll put your name on it. That is the problem, I can't tell which colas belong with whoch plants. I will figure it out though.lmfao VV

Nice VV! Gotta love those T5's! I use them aswell. I have also added a 150 watt HPS I bought from home depot. Helps alot to fatten up the colas. Its not to hot either I can put it nearly as close as th t5s. Lookin very nice I like to see other flowering with t5s aswell

Remember to go slow, I am older and it takes me a while to catch on. bwinn thats not a small cola you have. Constant improvement, looking good. South floriduh may be were we end up in a year or so. We have friends in the area. VV
