First Grow w/ Aeroponics, 400w, White Rhino + Papaya

Gotta get the res temp down under 68 degrees. Fungus and root rot can set in above 68 degrees.And I try to keep my room at 75 max. Is 250 ppm what your base water is? Any filteration? What kind of nutrients? If it's organic you don't want to use H2o2. It will kill all of the beneficial bacteria. Way too much H2o2 anyways. 1-2 tsp per gallon. 60 mls. max in 6 gallons. Glad you got some more room cause you will need it, lol.

So I bought an a/c unit and a humidifier, and I hooked up the a/c to blow into the tent directly at the res. I'm guessing the water has cooled off at least 10 degree. My base water is under 50ppm, and just yesterday I bumped the nutes up to 1000ppm and they all stretched up and started looking vibrant. The light is at 12" with 75 canopy temp, that good?

What do you think about me getting CO2? I was thinking of getting a controller to manager the timing of it all. Will it be a good investment (eg. bigger yield/faster grow)?

Another update. 4 weeks from seedling so far. There seems to be some leaves that are rusting and turning yellow, drying. Plus some are twisting. I realized these could be nutrient deficiencies but I'm giving them 1500 ppm of nutes now, so I think it is the root rot, that's preventing them from using the nutes, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Okay so I hooked up Co2 and got some Root Excelurator. The roots seem to be getting worse and I believe the rot is eating away at a stem, but I'm not sure. I'm going to dip all the roots into Hydrogen Peroxide and reclean my setup. Can someone tell me if my stem is getting eaten?

Dude, I'm no expert in aeroponics, but I'm pretty sure the coco holds way too much moisture, you should have used clay pellets in my opinion. Also you could search for a book called How to Hydroponics, written by Keith Roberto, if you don't want to buy it it's on TPB as ebook. Hope that helps, I'll be following your thread closely anyway, I want to go Aeroponics as well and I could learn from you.

I had root rot with my last grow (DWC). That is the reason i switched to aero. I used hygrozyme and flora sheild. I only used h202 to clean the setup. If you are gonna try and fix root rot with h202 dont wast your money on hygrozyme.

You are feeding them WAY to much! I used 1/4-1/2 of the recommeded dose through my whole grow and it works great. Good luck bro. If you have anymore questions ask away.

What is you water source?

I'm pretty sure the root rot is from the RR that I used. I got some clones and put them in sleves into the cloner. They are wilting after 16h so I'm hoping they'll lift up.

When the rot wasn't bad they were going crazy with 1500ppm, no burn or anything. I'm using carbon filtered water, its under 50ppm.

I finally got a carbon filter and fan, and am in the process of hooking it up.

So I haven't updated in a long time but here are some progress pics. All are after I flipped to 12/12. the middle one with the fallen plants is when my pump failed while I was gone working for 14h. The plants survived, but I noted that there was a male among my females!! I quickly pulled that sob and tossed him. However, not that I look at my plants, I believe he got to them because they all have seeds. I thought about it though and realized that the male was Papaya and the female White Rhino, so does that the seeds are a cross between the two?
