Today the roots are clearly starting to show. I shifted the water temp from 74* down to 66* but the PPM stays at 200 until they get good and rooted. PH = 5.9

Timer still set on 20 on and 1 off until all show roots 1 to 2 inches, then I'll switch to 10 on and 30 off.



 
looking good man I am planning on turning a room in my house to aero but I have a question can you tell me the best way I should mother a clone I get from a dispensary I see the one you have is in soil. Can I just put a clone in some soil in a 5 gl bucket with some rocks at the bottom once it roots. sorry for the mewb question but I am not sure if I should buld a aero setup for the mother plants any advice I would appreciate

Yea dude soil is the easiest way to go for moms. Its simply a hastle building a hydro unit for a single mom. (maybe if you had 4 or 5)...and you cant keep it with the crop due to light scedules. Lastly, you probably wont be taking too many clones from your mom very often so they wont need the extra growth hyrdo has to offer.

Rocks will work..but i personally pour about a half inch layer of vermiculite on the bottom of my soil pots and then mix some in with the medium.
much love

Thanks for the feedback. I am planning on having about 5 moms in the same room as my clones or should I seperate the room into 2 since the clones need 24 hr florescents right, and the moms will be in a 18/6 schedule, can I use a florescent for my moms aswell?

So what do you guys think is better for me to have a aero setup in a 40 gal container with 2 moms in there so a total of 3 containers with 6-7 moms. Or 6-7 5 gal buckets of dirt?

I have also been reading some guy saying that the dual container doesent work as well I dont understand why it seems to me that the dual container would work better since the pump and resovoir would be below the roots so it would prevent clogging problems when the roots get huge
