Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

We had a saying in the Navy too; never again volunteer yourself... ;)

I think I remember some scuttlebutt about the base gedunk being run by a bunch of skate FNG's but they were all TAD from CAG so we kept sending them orders for 50 feet of chow line and grommet wrenches.

I think I just busted my gut! ROLF!!!:clap:

Of course no one else knows WTF you're talking about:shock:.
 
Hey just having a look at these aeroponic set ups.
I'm a die hard soil grower and not into hydro but this earoponics is something else.
Tell me how it works?
Does the water just spray up onto the medium and roots from below, 24/7?
 
Im starting to get things together for my flower room. Im thinking 2 600watt hps, my room, 8x8x8 sealed with air cooled hoods taken from outside exhausted to another room, co2, an intake hole on the ground level and an exhaust fan on the upper corner. oscillating fans. am i misled about not needing an intake fan for the room? beacuse the exhaust fan will create a sort of vacumn and draw fresh air in as the exhaust shoves air out? also i found this regulator/solenoid is this the right part?
Sentinel CO2 Regulator

There is no medium. The roots grow in air and are misted by the sprayers.

Pump is on a cycle timer set to 1 minute on and 5 minutes off.

I've grown in soil for over 14 years so I'm very picky about taste. In my aero systems I use 100% organic nutrients for that old school, sweet soil taste.

Once you try it you will kick yourself in the ass for not switching sooner! Read the whole thread for details.
 
Hehe stinkbud, you've got everyone answering ????? about aero now. And you've got everyone gettin in on the game. Nice. So you have any pics of the latest crop, this thread needs some new bud porn!!

That regulator will work fine. It's just like mine.

Sounds just like my room. I don't have an intake fan. I left a gap under the door to let fresh air in when venting.

I run 2 - 1000W HPS but I wish I had 4 - 600W HPS instead. The light would get to the side systems better.

I'm looking into adding 2 600's or 2 more 1000W lights. Right now I have to wire in more power to add any more lights. I'm looking in to that right now.

A light mover might end up being a better solution.

I just harvested Saturday. Here is a shot of the buds drying. I ended up harvesting 15 3/4 oz.

Here is what my flower room looks like now. I took these photos just for you:peace:.

You can see the new center batch. The system on the left is three weeks later along and the system on the right is about three weeks from harvest.

The Skunk in the back right is out of control! That's the problem with Sativa strains. They grow big!

How about you start your own thread and not hijack other people's threads.

Lol thanks for the pics stinkbud, I love to see that system in action. If this thread keeps getting longer, we'll basically get to see your whole 9 week cycle! I loved the pic of the new ones and the water draining!!! An as always, the buds are looking temendous!!
 
So let me get this straight....the roots don't clog the PVC tube?

I will also be building an Aeroponic system as soon as I get the means!
 
Well, I made my head unit last night for the cloner. One thing I can say is the 11/64" drill bit is too big but the next smallest size I had was way too small. To keep the spray nozzles from flying off I had to use an ass load of aquarium sealant, let's hope it actually does hold...

I've got 4 male plants in veg I need to kill so I figured I'd try the new cloner out on them.

When I use my 11/64 drill bit the holes are so tight I have to use pliers get the sprayers started. Reminds me of dating when I was a teen...;-)

The smaller bit may actually be the one you want to use. It is hard getting the sprayers started. Once they are in though they hold and don't leak.

Try using the smaller bit and move it around a little to increase the hole size a small amount. If it seems like the hole is too small, that actually means it's just right.

I should probably have people do a test first just to make sure everything works before drilling a bunch of holes.

The good news is PVC pipe is like $1.85 for 10ft. You can afford to screw up at that price > :dunce:

One more tip... I always measure twice and cut once.

Unless I'm stoned:eyesmoke: then I measure once and keep cutting until I get it right.

One last tip...if you're really, really stonedbongsmilie always count your fingers after you cut the pipe.
 
Yea, my 11/64s worked great,, one popped off yesterday only beacuse i didnt screw it down tight enough, but working perfect. Wow the roots on my new clones have grown about 3 inches out of the bottom of the net pot already, i just put them in wednesday.!!!!!!! incredible.

That means they are ready for veg and nutes.

Put them in the veg unit with the nutes at 2000 PPM using my veg formula.

If you top them after they grow about 6 internodes you will get more side shoots and also keep the height down.

The bottom side shoots will be your new cuttings.

Topping is optional though, I have to keep my plants under 12" (state law) so many times I have no choice.
 
Holly crap??? already?? geeze that means i need to go and drop a pretty penny on the ppm meter and all the nutes. I didnt plan on that for at least another week. oh well it is what it is right.
