New Aeroflo2 60 Grow! Started from the ground up! Lots of Pics!!

Heres some updated pics of the mother room!! The leaves on the top of one are turning yellow... anyone ever had that problem?

looks like its the start of nute burn.

DP my hat goes off to you sir....awesome set up. ive never seen germin seeds in aero! but goin to have to give it a try.

Brando- Thats what I was thinking... I started them on a full strength mother solution!! Maybe I'll dilute a little bit for the next couple days!

Sean.. thanks a lot I appreciate it! Stick around.. I update all the time! All input is appreciated.

What is everyones opinion on a full flush with h202 etc between veg and flowering?

they're lookin much better. seems like a few are havin to bend toward the light. how high above the plant tops are they

Yea ther are bending because I only have 3 mh bulbs for veg.. they are about 18 inches away but all the lights are bent in different directions to maximize light... I will put some fresh pics up later of the mothers and the garden..

Hey Dpagano,

Looking really good, seems like your having a pretty smooth run so far.

Looks like the rooms big enough for another system in there, why leave it so empty?
Fill the room up (leave enough space to walk thru only)!......

You will be smoking in no time.

really good setup, im hoping for sumthing as good, im part of the ghetto growers right now but next go round im upgrading, now i got a 250w MH/HPS, i really need a 600 for the space i have, ive done the measurements got an exhaust fan with a cheap carbon filter from lowes, its for a household a/c unit i just cut to fit my fan, and my room doesnt have Mylar or anything or painted white, the reason for that is i got sum flowering plants and had to throw it together, but after all the ones ive got going now finish budding, White widow, Brainstorm haze, sum bag seed too. got about six weeks or less on those, and ive got a question, i just germinated sum seeds, and they were ready but i couldnt find any jiffy cubes or any starting medium, small town not a lot of options, so i just started them in the soil i intended to grow it, and thought id avoid having to transplant, how long should it take for those to sprout? been two days and im worried, they're getting between 26 and 24 hours of light, outside during day and in at night with my flowering plants, if you could help id appreciate it but from what i see ur set up is perfect, the fans with filters white on walls, got plenty of light and i wanna get into aeroponics but im new to indoor so im going all organic right now to be safe, so how long (just an estimate) in soil should i expect before i see something pop up? if you dont think you know could you point me in the right direction, heres my email just in case of a problem getting back to here [email protected], thanks bro and im striving to reach what you have attained so good luck and happy growing -pants

Indefinately- Yea my plan is to expand with a second unit (aeroflo2 60) after the first crop. Im hearing that the laws only allow me to have 99 plants in the house though so I am worried about that! I still need an area for veg too so I may try to get a little tent in the corner to veg and then use the rest of the room for flowering!! Im going to get some updated pics up tonight at some point as well!

Pants- hey man whats goin on! good to see you've joined in.. Nothing wrong with taking the economical way with things especially in this business!! I just saved and saved then blew it all on this!! Thats y I dont have a second system.. they are about a 1000 a piece! I would recommend getting some cheap fluoros for your vegging flowers as there is different light spectrum needed for veg than for flowering!! are you using a MH or a HPS for flowering? you should be using hps and use mh for veg! I have a couple in soil right now that I didnt have room for!! They usually pop in 5-12 days after planting them!! Did they have a tap root? How deep did you plant it and how much and with what kind of water are u giving it? These are all very important variables. Also, keep in mind that when you are bringing that plant in everyday, whatever bugs are on or in the soil/plant, are now going to be in the flowering room.. Keep it in a warm and humid environment until it has roots! Use a dome or something clear with holes to put on top.. get back to me with more info and maybe I could help you out some more!

UPDATE: my h20 is at 71, pH 5.8, ppm 500!! I am starting to notice some brown in the roots but Im not sure why.. anyone got any ideas??? Ill post some pics of it later tonight~!

Man i would love just to have a quarter of that system.

its not all that Im still broke until i can crop!!

Hey I have a question for you - right now I am running a aeroflo 60 + extention. I see you would like to add another aeroflo to the set up. My question for you is how do you have the power for all this? Right now with the set up I have it takes up quite a bit of the power I have. If I were to add another system I would need to cut power out from some rooms in the house that I live in. Any advice on this?

Well the best I could do is tell you how i did mine and hope that helps! I only have the 60 site so i am using much less power probably... I didnt want an electrician in my room so I had to do some reading about electricity To start, I had a 240v coming in from the building on 2 wires.. a red and black.. I used that box and disconnected everything from the box!! I put in 2- 15amp breakers.. and 4 20amp breakers and a 50amp... If you check out the original pics, youll see that all of the breakers are transformed into outlets.. I did this so that I now have 4 double outlets with 20amps each.. I could hook up extension cords and splitters to these and have plenty of power!! The 50 amp is a double breaker.. because it is a 240v box, technically there are 2 50amp breakers in 1 Now, when i expand, my second light controller would go into this and Then I still have plenty of power to go around.. If I were to expand from that, I would run a "sub panel". You would hook another big breaker up to the main box, and run power to the new box.. Keep in mind that I am not an electrician and that all of my knowledge came from reading and some hands on experience!! If you have any more questions or need me to elaborate on certain parts, i would be happy to! Just ask away!!

ps.. hows your grow going? have you had a yeild yet?? do you have a journal etc?

you should post your nute regimen, what you did/didnt like or would change with what youve used thus far..new pics looking great! cant wait to see those purty lil ladies blossom!!

I was planning on flipping the lights today, but I'm going to wait a couple more days for the lil clones to get ready! I will be doing my res change soon so I will post nutes then!!!


SHOULD I FLUSH BETWEEN VEG AND FLOWER??? I WAS THINKING ABOUT FLORACLEAN (which I have) and Ro thats it for the 2 day dark cycle before flowering. Then hitting them with nutes when the lights go on.. any input??? HELP!!!

hey ive been following ur thread first off pretty impressave nothig shows results like aeroponics, if done correctly but also remember that different strains respond different to different situations and you also want a stable plant with good genetics
as for flushing your system inbetween veg and bloom..... dont just empty the resevior and fill with your diluted nutrient solution
Im running an aeroflo2 30 site with selected strains, (Blue cross "white widdow X blueberry), Ed rosenthal super bud, and casey jones. but ialso have other strains available that im mothering out , trainwreck, herowanna x blueberry, chemdog, fire og, bubba kush, and jack herer
heres some pics flowering room3 weeks into flowering (6 weeks total veg+flower)
I did a tie back method which entails tieing down your main branches manipulating the plant growth allowing secondary branches to thnk they are the new main stems so you end up with 3-5 main branches in a bowl shape if done correctly to allow maxium light penetration and increases your bud sites per plant.

back to your nutrients i switched from gen hydro nutrients to dyna-grow during my bloom stage 3-12-6 with good results. stay away from organics when using aeroponics because of slime and sediment cloging of tubes and sprayers

also laws regarding San Diego, I live here too, so its somthing i had to put some reaserch into allthough the laws are pretty grey here is what you are allowed. you can have 24 plants per person per recomendation, you can also ask your doctor to up your plant limit. so for example i have 2 recomendations 1 for myelf and 1 that belongs to someone else but i am growing for the both of us so i am allowed up to 48 plants or 2 pounds dried. as far as the 99 plants thing goes, thats federal law, anything 100 plants and up is reasonble for trial in a federal court, anything less they dont waste thier time with.

hope all this help's

indeed- hey man.. yea that really helped actually!! I appreciate it for sure. One problem Im having is that my plants are not all the same size like yours are! I have to keep moving them around to make sure that the small ladies are getting enough light I have a bunch of diff strains in the aero right now... most are them should grow with the same conditions with the exception of a select few! from seed i have hawaiin maui waui, white rhino,nypd (new york power diesel), blueberry...from clone I have OG Kush, Sour Diesel, El Heffe, Sour Kush, Purple Joy, Master Kush and P-91 (prob a fake lol).. I also have 6 mothers.. all from Nirvana seed.. Master Kush, Blue Mystic, NYPD, White Castle, Hawaiin Maui Waui, White Rhino...

I tried adding some organic nutes already and I think they turned some of the roots a little brown.. any insight with that? Whats the best way to clean that grime out before flowering?

I havn't done any FIM method or bending yet.. Your idea sounds good too... I would be nice to have a bunch of top colas!

Where in SD are you? Im over by OB/Point Loma

its always best to start with a weaker sloution than what the product recomends and build your way up.
the best way to proably clean the grime out of the spray liners is to disconnect them 1 at a time and soak in a solution on water and alchole %90water/%10alchole
im right in the middle of downtown at the top of one of these buildings we should get up somtime exchange ideas/concepts
