dank2 are you doing the 3min on 15min off cycle for you feeding still? Also do you feed during the off hours for the light?
Any other seasoned Aeroflo users use the gh 3 part system? I've been looking for suggestions as to the nutes:

Just got myself an Aeroflo2 60site to test out and built two 30 site tables using the GH vortex sprayer. I was impressed with a buddies rainforest but dissappointed that the res seemed too small. The roots were too much of a mass and didnt have the room they would have in an aquamist to go all the way to harvest.
Fantastic grow! I cant wait to see what your yield looks like!

Hey reaver thanks for stopping by i am very happy with the setup, but would not pay what there asking for it too easy to make it yourself i got these rails for 30 bucks not the ridiculous amount they are charging. as for them getting top heavy, my stalks are pretty think and the only ones that need extra support right now are the side ones with sissy branches, alittle rode and some hooks in the cieling and good as new.
And thanks everyone for the comments, i have an important ? i am getting a burn looking, goldish color on some of the tops of the plants, if i had a better camera i would take some snaps but all u see is brightness, some of the leaf material on the interior of the leaves is browning and the gold tint is on the outer edges of the leaves and these are the top leaves coming out of the buds. ok i took one pic not good though cut a small leaf off for ya hope u all can help.

to me this looks like an early magnesium def. or nute burn....
this is the first sign of nute burn....
and becomes this
but it could also be a magnesium deficiency which looks like
The main difference is that mag. def. starts on the oldest leaves first and nute burn occurs at the newest leaves first
I think its a little nute burn but nothing to be that concerned about... just flush and lower the nute by 10% cause its not that bad... then raise em back gradually...
another instance of nute burn

thanks for the input but i have seen nute burn and this is different, nute burn is on the young ones and starts from the tips and can make them brittle and look deformed as in that pic. This does look like it maybe mag-def have no exp with that and i am giving it mag-amp which is a mag sup. I will look closer into mag-def thanks.
And cruzer i was thinking about cutting back, but next week i am supposed to switch to dry kool bloom and the p,k on that is dialed up should i still switch and cut back on it or stay liquid?

oh and i am growing hindu kush
Honestly I havent looked into the difference between liquid and powder kool bloom.
But when you add you mag amp you are razing total ppms. right?
I dont know where they are comfortable in regards to total PPM of nutrient but you do.
Maybe next time you mix the soup Take out a couple gallons and add water to dilute it some.
You could always save it and add it back in a couple days.
Flushing for 24 hrs never hurts either.

2-45-28 is dry kool bloom and liquid is 0-10-10. they have been comfy at 3/4 strength so i have not raised it. i may lower it and see what happens, i have also read that too much potassium may cause mg lockout. not sure what i will do but when i do i will post.

Well still not sure what and the hell it is, but i changed the res with florakleer and 10 gal of ro water for about 4 hours and have been flushing for about 13hrs with 10 new gal of ro. i am doing another res change, i will be adding another fresh 10 gal of ro water and i will be adding half strength nutes in to try and correct whatever is going on and still give them something to fatten up on, i will be adding half strength dry kool bloom after 24 hrs of feeding with another 5 gal of ro water. here are some pics to feast upon
pic number 12 or 13 is a good one to show the leaf discoloration i was talking about. pic number 10 is awesome too!!
