thanks Lacy!Gosh email. I can't get over how detailed you are but have to admit that you have a very nice grow there. Very sticky gooey buds.
mmm

Thanks natmoon! - that's cool.
i been picking and smoking the last couple weeks and what a great soaring high!
aeroponics with a bright-ass HID really does seem to make them grow fast - flowering still takes the same amount of time (forever).
You are into some real advanced stuff here.
aeroponics?
I'll look it up
i ran two new 20 amp circuits.aye email did you do anything special with your electricity? pull a seperate service directly from the breaker to your grow cab?
or just stuck everything on a surge protector????
Lacy - not advanced at all. i barely stumbled my way through this new set-up. i screwed up many, many times and had to harvest early. though i'm not crying about that since i prefer the heady high to the couch-lock anyway.
but thanks for the ego boost!
as far i as understand it, aeroponics means water is forced through a nebulizer which mists the roots directly. I use the rainforest 66 which did all the work for me (and i still managed to make a lot of mistakes). But the roots dangle into the reservoir which is oxygenated with an airstone. There is a little pump that sits in the middle and spins around shooting jets of water out at the root area - pretty neat!
I'll be posting some pics of them all chopped down.

Yeah its like being a kid at xmasThanks natmoon! - that's cool.

Thanks for checking the journal out.Learned loads, good grew.
I have a general idea of how hydro/aeroponics works, but let me get this straight.
I have a humidifier that produces a very fine mist (I know this was mentioned earlier). Would this idea work:
I take a tote, put a hole on top, drop in a netpot and hydroton, then a plant/seedling... so far so good, but now, can I simply have the humidifier hooked up so that it is outside the tote, but aiming the mist directly at the netpot (roots) inside the tote?
There would be no need for an airstone, since the humidifier is outside the tote, it is pulling in air and onto the roots.
I can drain the water out from the bottom of the tote and direct it back into the humidifier. In theory, I know that in practice it will be water rich with nutrients and I need to adjust pH and all.
This system probably wouldn't scale well, but I imagine it can sustain at least 4 plants. What happens when the humidier turns on is that the entire inside of the tote will be foggy with nute water and oxygen.
I'm broke, but I'm willing to experiment with this idea with some plants that respond well to hydro.. like Salvia or maybe just Epipremnum. I actually have an Epipremnum (common houseplant, you've definitely seen it around) rooting in a jar of water as we speak, which would be perfect for this experiment.
