Feel free to leave comments or feedback.

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum as well as aeroponic growing and haven't seen to many aeroflo grow journals so I figured I'd start one to help other newbies as well as taking advice from some of you with more experience. My first grow was in soil in a 20x10 bedroom with 50 plants. Turned out amazing but I wasnt happen when it was all done and shit needed to be cleaned up. Lugging soil around is a pain in the ass. So I started a new grow with an aeroflo after reading so many good things about them. My setup is a follows:
Grow Room:
~59x59x76 grow tent
~AeroFlo 36
~6" Fan and filter combo
~ 1/10 HP chiller
~16" Oscillating fan
~2-3" airstones
~6" exhaust muffler
~ 1000w air cooled light w/ digital ballast
~ humidifier
~ hydrometer/therometer
~ Fan speed controller
~100gpd RO system

Mother room: in 5x3 cedar closet
~ 3 super lemon haze
~ 3 vanilla kush
~ E-Z clone 30, might get another one.
~ squirrel cage fan
~ hydrofarm 4 lamp 4 foot T5
~ no vent, just keep the air moving with Ona Gel odor control.

pics will be posted shortly.

The plants before taking clones: IMG_1259.jpgThe 3 on the top are the Vanilla Kush and the bottom row is the Super Lemon hazeIMG_1260.jpg
My phone took a shit and all the photos i had of the ez-clone in use I lost. I had my cuttings in the ez-clone 30 for about a week and a half with ro water and a little bit of roots excelerator.

Tommorrow 12/30 marks the day the light is going to 12/12 and day 1 of flowering. The last couple of pics I posted are as of today but i have a few more to show how i have things setup. I have a ro system that is hooked up to the res of the aeroflo with a float valve as well as a 45gal trash can with a float valve as well for my water changes and watering my mothers. IMG_1352.jpg The tent itself is pinned into a corner of my basement with pretty much no moving room. the tent is flush up against 3 walls with the door inside the laundry room and the trash can on the other side of the washer and dryer.IMG_1273.jpg And the pic of my mothers room as of today: IMG_1354.jpg


My nutrients are as follows:
3 part Cutting Edge Solutions Micro, Bloom, and Grow
Dip clean
Cutting Edge Plant Amp
Cutting Edge Uncle Johns blend

During veg ive been using the 3 part at half strength and ppms have been about 600-700+/-. Just did a water change yesterday and for the first week of flower ppms are around 850. Res temp has been maintained around 68-70 and my ph has been between 5.5-6.0.

Thanks for the post GS. Have any updates. I'm thinking of doing a similar setup. Did you put airstones in your reservoir or is everything straight from the factory?

aeroflo60- I do have two seperate airstones in the res, one on each side to keep everything moving around. Ill have more pics up soon since its almost week 2 of flowering and things are starting to be more noticeable. It is my first aeroflo grow and I am amazed at the speed of growth from day to day.

It is now day 17 of flower. Pistils are showing and starting to come out of the flowering heads. Regretting how long I vegged the plants. Starting flowering at 8 inches and now the overall canopy is around 28 inches and not stopping. Hoping height wont be an issue.

Nutrients:
Cutting Edge Micro: 5ml/gal
Cutting Edge Bloom: 10ml/gIMG_1378.jpgal
Cutting Edge Plant Amp: 10ml/gal
Cutting Edge Uncle Johns blend: 10ml/gal
