    Here they are at day 17. Res temp. 76.00F Ambient temp. 80 RH - Humid as f**k pH - 5.80 ppm - 2000+ Started the PPM up at 1250, then went to 1500, now I'm at 2000 all over the course of a week. Plants liked it so I kept it up. I'll hover around 2000 for now until they are 6 weeks old. Then...

    AK48 Aeroponics/Hydroponics w/ 400w HPS

    My roots are healthy and long as shit. The rockwool is not wet. The new growth is green and healthy and the leaves are not curling down or yellow. Therefore no nutrient burn or any other of the concerns you mentioned. I know what I am doing. Sorry to burst your bubble dude. On the 24th...

    AK48 Aeroponics/Hydroponics w/ 400w HPS

    Hey guys pH - 5.9 PPM - 1520 Everything else looks good. The leaves look a little wilted but overall the new growth is healthy as can be. I got a question. My grow area is only 6' high. And deduct 2' from that because of the reservoir and another 1'6" because of the light and distance it has...

    AK48 Aeroponics/Hydroponics w/ 400w HPS

    Ya, my fans are a problem on several levels. One they make too much noise. It sounds like it's vibrations but it doesn't feel like it is. Two, the outtake isn't quite as strong as I'd like it to be to push through the carbon. Will fix this once I get closer to flowering. Lifted up the net...

    AK48 Aeroponics/Hydroponics w/ 400w HPS

    pH 6.1 ppM ~990 400w HPS 18/6 Humidity ~60% Temperature ~72 Res Temp. 68.2 Here they are at 8 days since I got the seeds in the mail. I'd say looking pretty good. They have some nice roots hanging down and I fixed an over watering problem by turning the misters upside down. When the roots hit...

    Rockwool soaked in Aeroponics system

    What would be some good ideas to lift the rockwool higher in the net pot without clay or any other medium? My only other option is to water the rockwool every time it gets dry. Eventually they will get big enough in about 4 - 6 weeks and I can clone them. Then I'll put the clones in the...

    Rockwool soaked in Aeroponics system

    Really sorry about the multiple posts. There is no edit function? Here are some pictures. They have a solid amount of roots now. Are you guys sure they won't be overwatered?

    Rockwool soaked in Aeroponics system

    Bump for good luck. I have heard someone say they just dropped the plug into the cup and even though it was saturated it turned out fine. What do you guys think? Ok? Growth is back. They are healthy as can be, but are not a big fan of the HPS for vegging.

    Rockwool soaked in Aeroponics system

    The medium is bone dry now. I'm considering misting them so they have some water. I can't imagine how having 0 water in the plug with the pump off could be healthy for the seedlings. If I can just get the roots to grow down deep enough I could support them with popsicle sticks near the top of...

    Rockwool soaked in Aeroponics system

    Hello, It has been 6 days since I started my seeds. Originally I started them in Perfected Starts (Composted bark, much like rockwool) with a heating pad a humidity dome and some water. After 5 days I moved them over to my hydroopnics unit because they were showing tap roots. Checking them...

    AK48 Aeroponics/Hydroponics w/ 400w HPS

    Ok, they're second leaves are well on their way. One of them has yellow false leaves, but I think that is from the high pH water that was only in the res. for a couple hours. Problem should self-correct itself. Or is the plant hungry? When should I add nutrients?

    Odor and activated carbon

    Thanks. I am venting into another part of the house. It simply goes from the room that I have light proofed to outside that room. Does this make a difference?

    Odor and activated carbon

    It's actually not even a charcoal filter, it's duct work with charcoal in it. I read somewhere the cfm required for scrubbings needs to be the room in cubic feet (150) divided by 5. 5 x 5 x 6 = 150 / 5 = 30 < 40 - 80. Is your concern the air won't push through the carbon? I'm pretty...

    Odor and activated carbon

    Hello, I am curious about how much activated carbon will be necessary to keep odor to a minimum to none level. I have a 4" inline fan advertised as running 40 - 80 cfm. My room is light proof and is about 5 x 5 x 6. I have 28oz of activated carbon and my fan is near the top of the room...
