Closet Aeroponic Mamba, White Kush Grow, first time grow

Built my own low pressure aeroponics system. Got a mix of seeds. Supposedly called white arian kush, and the other purple or black mamba.. i forgot exactly the name. If anyone knows more about these strains please let me know. I smoked both and they were good bud so I got some really good looking seeds. I will be using the closet for veg and flowering. Currently putting together an area to keep clones. I Started 4 seeds in the closet. They were doing good but one night left the water pump off and one of the seedlings started to hurt and eventually died, so i have another germinated seed in there. 3 up, and one more on the way. All looking good so far I think. I am waiting for the last seedling to come up till I change the water and give them nutrients. The 2 bigger ones are about a week old, the smaller one is about 4 or 5 days old. I just planted the last one, should come up soon.

I have a very small amount of nutes in water as of now, I try to keep the ph between 5.5 and 6.5. They are on a 20/4 light cycle right now. I try to keep day temps between 75-85... 78-82 being ideal. And night the temps are 64-72. Humidity is usually around 30% unless I mist seedlings or in veg. Reservoir feels cold to touch, not too warm, probably in the 50s. I am going to feed them just a bit below the recommended amount until I see they react alright then I'll go for heavy feeding once I know they are ready.

27 gallon reservoir, lid was yellow so i covered the top in black gorilla tape
250 gph pump, 8 sprayers
4 3.75 inch net cups, Hyrdoton
Air Stone, Air Pump
6 CFL's and one 150 watt flourescent grow light
Foxfarm hydro nutrients: Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Tiger Bloom
GH Ph up and down.
Arm and Hammer air purifier
12" Oscillating Fan I usually keep on low
Also have Root Riot 50 site clone tray, a vented dome, and Clonex

will post pics...

one night i left pump off and temps got high and the last pic that one died, waiting for a new one to sprout

I think your biggest problem is that they are just little guys, you should leave them in that clone tray until they're about to hit the roof on that dome. The bigger and stronger the plants you transplant into that system them better chance they have at survival.

Just goes to show you wether it be HPA (High Pressure Aeroponics) or LPA (Low Pressure Aeroponics) they are very sensitive to water/power outages as they do not sit in water.

Update... All is going well, last seedling just broke the surface. Wondering if I should add nutes or wait till the small one gets a lil bigger. I also have pics of the bud I got the seeds from..

What do u mean by "as they do not sit in water" ? the roots? Well sooner or later they'll be hanging into the water so I wont have to worry as much

this duct comes from my boiler and travels across the top of my closet to where it leaves the house. Is there any way to modify this to pull hot air out of the closet that gathers at the top?

Also what do u guy think of that bud? is that a good strain? one of my plants looks way more indica than the other I think those were the different strains.

covered seedling with a dome

How did they do is that timer any good
