Greetings everyone! I'm starting this journal a little late, on the 3rd day of flowering cycle to be precise. Anyway, I would love all of your input on my op and any advice/criticism is completely welcome! These are my following strains, (all from seed.)

Ak47- Joey Seed
White Widow Max- Joey seed
Blueberry - Joey seed
ICE- Sensi seeds
NY Diesel- Soma's Sacred Seeds
Island Super Skunk- Bagseed from Dispensary
Frisian Dew- Dutch Passion
Random Seeds- Random Bagseed, I think its Skunk #1


I prepared all these seeds by germinating them in papertowels before planting them in Rockwool cubes. Once the roots penetrated the cubes multiple times I transplanted them into my AeroFlo 60. Here they are



I ran them in the 18/6 veg cycle for about 9 days under 2 blue spec MH 600w lights on the outsides and 1 red spec Hortilux HPS in the center. Here they are after about 6 days since they were transplanted.




After 9 days I decided it was about time to throw them into 12/12 flowering. I changed out the MH lights with HPS and changed out the HPS with a MH so am now running 2 600w hps on the outsides and 1 600w MH in the center.

Here they are after about 3 days of flowering.






Everything seems to be going pretty smoothly, all of my 40 plants seem to be doing well except for 3.

2 of my plants grew these brown spots on some of the bottom leaves and arent growing nearly as fast as the others, I may just have to toss them. I pruned off the leaves that seemed to be doing poorly however they seem to keep getting these dang spots, both plants have had this problem since I put them in the system and none of my other 37 plants have this issue. I'll probably just toss them since I don't know whats wrong, the other plants seem to love their home.


On another note, I am primarily concerned about one of my plants in particular. This plant seems to be growing pretty well except for that all the leaves on it are curling into themselves like crazy! I don't get what's goin on, maybe after looking at this picture below, one of you may be able to tell me whats wrong.



On another note, I will be keeping this journal fairly updated as things progress, and I would love to get some input from you all. Anywho, I will conclude this post with my following nutrients and such.

Flora Gro - 1.5ml per litre
Flora Micro - 1ml per litre
Flora Bloom - .5ml per litre
Hygrozyme - 2ml per litre
Sweet Berry - 2.5ml per litre

PH level - Constantly 5.8

2 Circulating fans

C02 Regulator pumpin' out every half hour for 15 min.

OH yeah, I forgot to mention that I am a licensed caregiver in Boulder Colorado and that everything I am doing here is completely legal. In fact I have all my patients posted up on my wall right next to my babies

Aye for sure man, I haven't had any problems with it leaking so far,, and honestly I'm liking it more and more every day. I'm sure you could make something similar for much cheaper but you would have to have some pretty good carpentering skills..

On the most part though I'm really glad I bought it. For about 1 min every 5-10 mins the water shoots out into the chambers with extra power and creates a ton of little air bubbles which those roots are lovin', that on top of things like the adjustable water levels this system has made my aero experience pretty damn legit.
 
I got the 60 also but I am doing mine a little diffrent I have my tubes next to each other and I added another tube to that side so I guss if I stopped there I could call it a 70 but I cant stop tinkering with it so I cut holes in the other side and added 7 more tubes that have 12 holes each for net cups... then I added a 70 gal res. to make up for the extra plant sites .
I am gonna modifie the feed tubes so that I can valve off each tube, that way I can rotate my crop and add like 30 new clones at a time to the center and move the larger ones out to the sides.

not sure about the brown spots, but that one plant with the curled leaves, maybe it can't take the nutes the other ones can?

definately pulling up a chair for this, I want to setup an aeroflo myself!

Subscribed,

Hey bro; great journal so far. I'm an
Aeroflo user myself; it's my first grow, but things are doing well so far; except my roots are no where near as white as yours. But i've got a water chiller now and it keeps my temps down, and I got some peroxide, and they roots have really come back to life. Well good luck, I wish I had some more input. Smoke on
