thanks googlesworth - make sure to learn from my many, many mistakes! luckily herb is very forgiving.

do you do any co2 or co2 supplements?

also, can you do anything with molasses in hydro setups?

just wondering what can get you the best yield on this setup. mine is identical (except im only doing 2 plants). i was going to do it a little different, but i went and got ur netted pots, and hydroton and coco liner

I don't use an CO2 - i do have a powerful fan and give them plenty of fresh air.

I would not use molasses in my set-up but many folks swear by it. I wouldn't want it ruining my system (too thick and sticky).

I am doing three plants and they overgrew. I think i'll do more pruning/training next time. You could probably skip the coco liners but i do like the lids - keeps the roots in the dark.

since im basically going to be following exactly how yours grew, how much would you say, roughly, per plant?

i bet the home grown PPP is delicious

i don't know - i'm figuring i still have 4-6 weeks to go before harvest. I'll probably have a better idea in a couple more weeks.

how are the bud sites on the lower branches developing?
that foilage looks pretty dense.

The foliage is dense. i am hoping i don't regret not lollipopping them. But the buds are thickening up nicely so far and will post pics soon. I'm figuring the next 4-6 weeks will really tell the tale.

Man those are beautiful!!!! I have an idea that I wanted to bounce off you. Do you think that the innards of a vaporizer would work for a DIY aeroponics unit? It makes are super fine mist. I'll be keeping an eye on your wonderful plants.

Thanks potpimp! i'm doing my best to kill them but luckily they keep growing!

Here are few more pics Day 62, Day 29 from switching to 12/12:

While I've never seen what you're talking about, I think anything that pushed a super fine mist would work great.

 

[potpimp]

I may try this; vaporizers are less than $20. That's not anything for a good experiment. It could turn out to be something very workable and something everyone could afford. In fact, I'm leaving for CVS right now to get one.

Wow you went from this

To this in 6 days???

I have to look into this hydro game more as that is an astonishing rate of growth.
Beats my mud growing by a mile

 

[email468]

Hi natmoon - i think the jump from 25 - 35 days was pretty impressive too. they do grow quickly but it certainly isn't due to my talent or experience. I think i have good equipment and a good strain - the rest i'm chalking up to luck!

though i am past due for a decent grow with passable yield. my last couple grows (with different equipment) was pitiful.

Well i knew aeroponics weed grew much more quickly but i didn't realize that it was that much more quickly.
I am much more interested in getting the seedlings to bigger bushes real quick.
Do you know if its possible to transplant aeroponicly started plants into soil?
Great job anyway

Thank you! the waiting is killing me!

I have no experience going from hydro to soil but from what i've read, the plants should adapt to the change just fine.

i also credit the 1000w of lights (both 600 HPS and 400 MH) for the rapid growth.

 

[potpimp]

I got my humidifier, a Sunbeam 644 with "FineMist"(tm) technology. I am thinking that I need a large res, rather than the smaller 15 gal ones for this setup. Rather than continuing to hijack your thread I'll start a new one.
