Not much gets by you guys. Yea bro, I run 4 min on and 15 off. I do this cause if I listen closely I can hear the pump turn on. I think I read the best cycle is 1 on 4 off.
Earl uses 4 on 20 off i think.
I remember I was scared to go with the sprayers cause I get power outages here once in a while. Well, so far they have gone four hours during a blackout. They were watered at that point, they were a little limpy but perked right up without any ill effects I could see.
Funny, you are going all hydro, I have a couple in soil now.
I hear its best to keep mothers in soil. I got a couple Green Crack clones in soil I plant to use as mums.

Its not cheap, but you ever think about investing in a small UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to hook just your Aeroponic pumps up to? I do not know the watts of your pump, but lets say you go pretty heft for home use, and buy a SmartUPS 1000 by APC, you are looking at hours of uptime for your simple pump(s) if they only put a few percvent load on the batteries.
Quick example from newegg:

Temps 72 res 66°
PPMs 480 PH 6.1
They are just starting week four of flower. The canopy is filling out. Looks to me like about 5 inches thick.
I been pulling lower leaf and cutting select leaf on top thats blocking light.
A bunch of little buds poppin out. i counted 60 or so.
The floro cab is done. I got company coming so I will wait till after the holiday to cut.
I have about a dozen cuttings rooted for the hydroton, unfortunately most of them are PK. I got the batch first TW cuttings
too hot and fried them. Good thing I saved the PK huh?
Anyway, I took like 5 more TW and they should be alright. They are the little light green ones on the left.

Yea, the floro cab just finished flowering.
how does that work? i was planing on using CFL's for veg and a HPS for flowering, does CFL's the entire time work as well?
Well, cfls will veg just fine. To get the most out of your grow use an HPS light to flower.
In my case I have two cabinets, one with HPS and one with floros. This grow was to flower with floros and see what I could get. I havent actually cut and weighed it yet but my estamate would be with HPS you get like 30 to 40% more finsihed buds.

Thanks Doe, I'm to cheap to by a thermostat for that seedling heat mat and have to remember to prop the tray up with something. This time I just put a couple towels under the tray and that was not enough. Temps hit 86° I caught it after 24 hours but it was too late for a few of them. Between 72 and 79° is perfect. They are at 77° now.
Have a happy day Turkey.

hey bud looks great, long time been away.hows the dream team, went through the big D had to shut down for awhile. No big deal had enough to last me till next year any way so. doing some more auto flower cute little things, in soil. but like the other better just because of yield.
The big D eh? Ouch.
Good to see ya back in the saddle, as you can see I'm still at it.
Had some bad luck with the Dream team, they never got enough sun to finish properly, the branch that fell on them didnt help either but we got about 8oz or so. Got it curring.
Got some autos going again, you got a journal up?

Hey, Cruiz...
Water bed heaters work and have have digital or analog thermostats.
Look 'em up. If you decide they'll work for you I can hook you up, brother.
