Day 46: Day 6 since reservoir change. Reservoir balanced at 490-510ppm 5.8-6. All week no corrections. Picked up some Liquid Karma and a free sample of Pure Blend Pro Bloom. I wanted to up my ppms a little and give the plants a taste of the humic acids in the PBP. PBP bloom is easier to add...

Ed Rosenthal seems to disagree, cannabis does not need a dark period in the veg stage. http://www.cannabisculture.com/v2/articles/3127.html

Day 41: Plants still droopy, took the advice given and used some spare panda film on the lid. Didn't have a way to take the system offline for a day or two to paint, at least it significantly lowered the amount of light making it into the res. Also did a res change and retuned the nute soup...

Day 40: A week after the plants were pruned/topped the new growth is coming faster and faster. Under the hood a new network of healthy roots can now be seen growing above the mass of burned roots that got hit with rot. Brown sugar added 2 days ago which lowered pH a bit but is stable. Also...

Day 39: Been a while since last update, where to begin! Many changes, not long after the last update the plants started showing problems, looked like Mg def, but also root rot setting in. I pinned the problem down to the fogger unit. The condensation caused algae and mildew to grow in the...

FWIW the clear snot may not be a problem. I'm running Mayan Microzyme in my system right now and one of the organisms in the mix is Nostoc, a cyanobacteria that forms jelly like colonies on submerged roots. This strain is a nitrogen fixer and not pathogenic to the plant. If you went from soil to...

Day 15: #4 and 5 moved to collars, added 2L water with 5ml M 15ml B 3ml G to fogger res, pH now 5.7.

Day 14: Haven't updated this journal in a while. The system is built now, lost 5 seedlings to lack of water when moving them to collars. Switched to 15/15 cycle of the fogger and the sprayers and using fogger res for nutes with the main res straight tap water. Currently 40ml/gal H2O2 in both...

Day 4 from seed: 1 has lost it's seedcover! 3 more probably will by the end of the day. All 8 have popped. I started running the fogger intermittantly to keep the seedling(s) from drying out.

More seeds popped, as of right now 6/8 are rooting and the other 2 look ready to sprout anytime now. I wasn't digging the humidome too much, so I took a container and made a seedling chamber with input for the fogger. Also moved em under the lights to start 18/6. Doesn't look too polished I...

1st rail almost done, on a budget so no hole saw, 1 1/2" paddle bit on the pot holes and Ill be boring them out by hand. 2nd pic shows where the manifold for the sprayjets is going. I strayed from the design a bit and put the manifold near the top where the jets will spray down, opening up the...

The work today. Spent most of the 2 hours I was working on the damn lamp mount. Discovered the ceiling is concrete slab, my 7.2v drill couldn't hack it. Got lucky and jammed 2 screws in the gap between slabs. Not ideal but more then sturdy enough to hold the reflector.

Stuff I did last night: Used a broken office chair for the base. Saved on PVC and now the whole setup rolls, swivels, and goes up and down! Mounted a 1/2"x2'x2' birch board to put the tracks on.

Building started last night, I'll post pics after I work on it some tonight.

Welcome aboard matey! Did a walk through at Lowe's, Ill post a parts list tomorrow when I get em.

I'll have to play with it when I have the container I will have it in. Got shipping confirmation from HD so that's on the way, lamp and misc supplies should be in by friday, system building should start tomorrow hopefully. Anyone know of a good hydro supply based in the northeast? The wait on...

Mailman came bearing gifts today, I was worried about the fogger I ordered because it didn't specify a Teflon coated disc, but it appears to have one. I don't know what others were doing to have heat problems from these units but I think a 3 gal res will stay cool from air intake. PS. I...

Well, more research seems to discourage fog only, also many elements in my design are better left to subsequent grows so another revamp... I like the fencepost aero design, so I'm mirroring SB's design and adding the fogger at the end to collect fog in the aero/nft res. Thanks for the support...

Still fleshing out the design while waiting on materials... ditching recirculation altogether. The grow chamber should not be gathering condensation, if it is then something is wrong. Instead I think I'll put a mesh screen, maybe 80 microns or so that can be situated right below the tap roots to...

Hey everyone, I'm starting a grow and figured I'd share the experiences from this ambitious endeavor. :) When I planning this op efficiency was the highest priority. While researching different growing methods I stumbled on fogponics as an option. The benefits look pretty clear and provided...
