Pulling up a seat... +rep

Nice man I'll definitely be checking your grow out.
subbed and +rep.
best of luck, man

@breakneck + @KingIV20
Thanks for the reassurance dudes. Every bit of support helps in this game.

Legit setup bro. Really diggin the two led ufo's. The plants seem to be really enjoying them. What truly sparks my interest is that amazing list of strains you have acquired. Sub'd and best of luck! I'll chime in to help if I can, but it looks like you got it good to go

@MJ Crescendo
I appreciate your comments. These strains are amazing.
I have a few experiments planned for this garden:

1. See if T5s mixed with LED can compare to quality/quantity of traditional HID
2. Grafting to make a multi-strained mother to take clones from
3. Revegging after harvest and grafting to the reveg-base


I am looking forward to the grafting experiment using a pineapple express base, as this is my strongest plant, and grafting clones from the other strains onto this one base, that way instead of 4-5 different mother strains Ill have one mother plant with 5 strains growing on it. Supposively, the recovery for grafts is about 1-2 weeks, so it will be worth it in the longrun. I also want to re-veg after the first harvest and do a test to see how well they grow if I graft some clones to one of the stalks. I will also grow my regular schedule of clones and compare to see which batch is faster and healthier. Ive done some research on methods for grafting and think it will be worth the try.
If anybody has any info or tips for grafting, please feel free to share your experiences/ideas!

Hey man, lookin good. How were those jamaican grape seeds? I read a posts saying SVS wasn't too reliable. Were they fem?

@kolz2788
Thanks man, only 1 out of 5 seeds survived the germ process, not too happy bout that at all. So I'd agree that SVS isn't too reliable as far as propagation, but they definitely have some primo strains. Ive read reports about Jamaican Grape being the most uplifting and clear-minded head high that you can get, period. The label did not say fem, so everybody keep their fingers crossed that this one turns out fem. My Jamaican Grape plant turned completely purple on the underside after 1 week.

was it 5 seeds for $60? There website doesn't even say how many seeds you get...

@kolz2788
They're $30 for 5 beans. Will be adding more Jamaican Grape & new Purple-Pineberry to the setup in a few weeks.

nice man, i wish you good fortune and I'll be following along

as long as you got the roots health down im ready to see some buds

wow this is dope dude, annnnd that was corny lol.. roots looking amazing tho, keep it up man

Big ups bra "stealth" emailed me your link tld me to check it out, i recently ordered from mr stealth i got the cab with the 120w LED and 12 sites so look out for ill be starting mines in a couple days or so

never really looked into aeroponic... how do you add nutes to it? are the roots in the water?

@Gibbslt89
Thanks dude - every day they seem to be growing more and more, hopefully a big win for LED.

@LDO727
Make sure you send me the link whenever you start up. The 120w LED should give you nice growth. Im eager to see more LED action!

@kolz2788
Its actually a very simple setup and easy to maintain. There are 2 tanks: one top + one bottom. The bottom is the reservoir, where water is kept, along with the water pump, bubbler stone, and reservoir circulation pump (small water pump sitting sideways). The top tank is where the roots hang and where the sprayer assembly is located. The water is pumped up from the bottom tank and sprays the roots on and off (Ive set mine to 30m on/1hr off). Water instantly drains back down into the reservoir for storage, so the roots never actually sit in water, they hang in the air. In between feedings, the roots dry slightly and grow & swell to search for more water, as you can see after 2 weeks of veg they are already much larger than the root systems of most soil grows for the elapsed time period (1 wk seedling + 2 wks veg).

I use a "Zero Water" brand filter (highly recommended for aero by "Stealth") as this filters my tap water from 400ppm down to 0ppm. Then, I mix the liquid nutrients (BC by Technaflora) according to the mixing chart and add to the reservoir. I first started with tap water & 1450ppm until i noticed some burn on the very tips of leaves (usually this level of nutes would stress or kill the plants). This was the ppm during their second week of life, usually people start plants at 300-500 and work up to 1200-1500 by the very end of flowering, so its incredible that my plants didnt stress or die. So in week 3, I started using the zero water -for my plants and myself -, and I lowered the total ppm to 750. Then I tested the pH and it was in the 7-8 range, so I brought it back down to 5. Since then, they have been growing faster and healthier. As you can see, these plants are very resilient given the harsh nutrient environment. I have also changed the lighting schedule from 18/6 to 20/4 and back to 18/6 in these past 3 weeks, so they seem to be holding up quite well. Currently maintaining @750ppm & 5 pH.

just to mention/ask considering the whole LED topic if u dont mind, i have a 45 led grow panel (suppose to be compared to a 250watt HPS) idk wtf to use it for tho lol.. i have 2 400watt MHs set up, one over my mother and one over 8 unknowns/unsexed, 1 sour diesel unsexed, 1 g13 unsexed, and 2 autogrowers, this is all in pro-mix soil and is my first grow as a continuence from not budding my mother (just started cloneing, did 3 and all rooted great) i also have a 1000watt hps but dont have it set up yet (got all this equip plus some for a half oz of purple kush haha ya my first grow lol good friends cousin) n e ways ive just started using the grow panel for the 6 hours a night my 2 MHs are off for the autogrowers cuz they are flowering now, my thoughts are that its giving them some red spectrum cuz the 2 MHs are 7200k spectrum (good idea?). my grow panel didnt come with much info like lumens/spectrum level but i had posted a question on a thread i started "NEED HELP - cloneing area" in the newbie central forum about my 3 clones, i have them under 2 2' t5 tubes as i just planted them today taking them out of the dome and tray, i need this space now for my 50 rapid rooter kit and 7inch dome but im not sure if i can put them under the MHs so i wondered how well they would do under the grow panel? (havent herd much convo about clones and LEDs so thot id ask that too thanx)
