Here is the setup. one aero flo36 with 8 plants for now. 2 AC 600w digi with MH conv. bulb for veg and HPS for flower. Cooled by 6 in vortex set on 18/6 now with one 600 MH. Air pump with 3 airstones in res. Chiller on pump cooling to res. to 70. aero pump on 3 hours off 1 during light off 2 in dark. Portable ac keeping temp at 78. PH 5.8+- PPM 950. want to train them over a 6x4 SCROG. Had plants in 3" net cups with coco liner that came with setup and hydroton, read the liners sucked and retransplanted into just hydroton today. I just added the chiller and AC the temps before jumped to 82+ and the plants stunted and showed nitro def. and the small amount of roots showing through the liner were brown so when I re tranplanted today I gave them a bath in Hydrogen peroxide with water and put them in the 3in cups with straight hydoton and a little rooting powder on the roots wich washed off pretty quick. Also this mornig the light fell and hit three of the plants topping one and fying another pretty good. they wiill come back though the look of it. I got to them quick. 4 more clones coming this week as well as pictures any helps is appreciated

I really want to see pictures of this. Very interesting. I have a 25 site aero table that I am kind skared to set up. Would love to see how it is done correctly, looks like you know what is up, can't wait.

This morning plants look a little droopy PH climbed a little ppm as well 5.98/1050. temps 79 res. 65 no new root development probably still shocked? I know aero will take off once it is dialed in and plants get established so far this has been a lot of work, soil would have been easier thats for sure. Hoping the benefit of aero pays out

today no change in looks of plant but no new root growth either. thinking of putting the 3 in cups in a in or so of rooting solution in a tray and a airstone under some small flourecents until i see some new root growth what do you guys think?

my thinking is it will at least save me on elec until I need the 600 plus extras because I figure it will be another week at least before I see new roots

dude you need Hygrozyme in your rez, keeps the roots white and eats up the brown ones...it is essential..keeps the root rot away...watch your rez temps aswell, try to stay under 75F they say its optimal is 65-68 but over 75F you will have problems unless you are using hygrozyme or a product similar

Thanks hygrozyme on the way in Hawaii actually tried to locate some after reading other posts after having initial problems but not so easy with no hydro shop readily available

this might jump around but here it goes.....So I built a 27 gallon 8 site DWC/drip/aero hybrid (Pics coming) soon for the plants so I can stick them under some smaller flo lights ,only 80 watts, that I have and not run the whole 36 site system and 600 mh yet. I added the Hygrozyme and adjusted to 600 ppm and 5.7 ph so waiting for those roots. I have another system called the ebb and gro with 12 buckets and controller with res that these might go into instead of the aeroflo becuase of medical marijuana plant limits in my state so might grow a few less just bigger and try to rotate them. want to clone the better ones but they have beened cloned a bit already I think. the plant has hairs and trichs on it and they are just clones that have showed veg growth is weird anyone experience clones showing calx and hairs all through veg?
