It's amazing how fast the plants grow with Aeroponics/NFT.

I'm pushing both the left and center systems to 2900 PPM right now.

I started my flush on the right (#3) system. I ran Clearex for 24 hours and now I'm running straight water for the next two weeks.

Check back and watch the plants turn colors!

The plant in system #3 have been on flush for a week now. I'm starting to see some yellow on the Tutti Fruiti in the back.

The plants in system 1 & 2 are going crazy! The growth rate using Aero is unreal.

Only a few more days to harvest on flower system #3. The AK47 is looking phat! Tutti Fruiti is finally starting to smell fruity now.

I took some macro shots today. You can see that the trichromes are turning milky. As soon as I start seeing some turn amber it's time to harvest!

wow this is one of the best journals ever. Very short and few people chiming in to tell you how awesome you are for growing plants.

I also run an aero system, but have yet to try expensive nutes like you. Let me know your average yield for 1 indica plant in your system.

Also do you do any trimming or topping with such a tight setup? I only trim the bottom sites for a more single cola effect.

I average 1-2 oz. per plant. My AK47 will produce 2oz+, Tutti Fruiti will produce about 1.5oz. and my Blueberry produces about 1oz. per plant (approx.) My AK47 is a freak of nature!

I don't top or trim my plants unless I have to. Even then I will bend them down with string or plant ties.

Nutes are expensive! I'm lucky that I get my nutrients from a friend for wholesale. He usually just gives me the nutes because I'm always doing web stuff for him.
 
I harvested system #3 last week. I had went right from the cloner to flower so the yield was not very large. I had switched over from Medusa to AK47, Blueberry and Tuttie Fruiti. Now I'm back to my normal 3 week veg cycle.

System #1 is going off big time! The one center bud is giant. Even the side buds are crazy huge! 3 weeks veg is the key for AK47. I'm at 2000 PPM and will be starting my flush on Wednesday. PH 5.8

You can see that system #2 is doing well. The plants have stopped shooting up and are starting to pack on some bud weight. I'm starting to drop my PPM now to 2400 PPM. PH 5.8

System #3 are the new kids in the flower room. They are starting to shoot up now. I'm running 2900 PPM right now. PH 5.8

I finally bought a new 6" reflector and a 440 cfm inline fan. I also am running straight HPS lamps now. 290,000 total lumens! I'm only using MH only in my veg system now.

I moved my A/C closer to my flower room. That combined with the new fan is keeping the flower room at least 10 degrees cooler than before.

I started my flush on system #1. You can see the larger fan leaves starting to show the signs.

System #2 is packing on weight now. They won't get any taller at this point.

System #3 is still in the shooting up stage of flowering. They will double in height over the next week.

One of the buds in system #1 is the biggest I have ever seen!

Check out the photos...

+rep, great journal. is their some secret as to why you can run 2900ppm? have you ever tried doing that much with another brand of nutes?
 
Wow, that's a pretty impressive operation.

Thanks for sharing and how do I become a legal patient provider :)

In Oregon I recommend Mamas.org. They have doctors on staff. If you really do have a medical need they will help you with all the paperwork. Then you take a class on the marijuana laws. It's really helpful.

You can sign up for different types of classes. My favorite class was the "joy of life" class. They teach you how to take cuttings and bust out the phat mommies for you to take your own cuttings. That's how I got my Blueberry and AK47 strains.
 
Everything is going great! I changed the nutes in system #2 and they are really packing on the weight now.

System #1 is in the 6th day of flushing with plain water now. I'm starting to see some yellow colors now and the pistils are starting to turn red. Trichromes are just now turning milky, right on schedule.

Some of the buds are giant!

System #3 is still shooting up. I'll be keeping them at 2900 PPM until they level off.

I'm interested in that cloning machine that you've built out of a rubbermaid container. What kind of pump does it use, and what kind of little nozzles are those in there doing the misting? I'm thinking about building one of those.

Well.. I just read the whole journal and I am officially going to modify my system for aero!!:mrgreen:

You have a fantastic operation. What size are the pumps in each of the 3 part cycle? What size pvc for the feed lines? ..For the grow tubes? And how many plant sites per tube?
I think you told me the sprayers in between each plant site are the same used for the ez cloner right?


Sorry for the 21 q's :blsmoke: really like your setup
 
Hey My Brother, Great Set-Up!!!!..............& You Are Getting Great Result's!!!!!...........I Have Two Question's, 1) How The Fuck Are You Getting Away With Running 2900ppm????.............I Can't Get Over 1000ppm Or So, With Out Burning Them Up!!!!!........2) In Your Bubbler Cloner, Why Do You Not Use Rapid Starter Plug's In The 2" Basket's????.........Man I Use Them, & On A Regular Basic Get Root's In 3 To 5 Day's!!!!

But Any Way, Great Thread, I'll Be Back!!!!:mrgreen::joint::hump::blsmoke::roll::peace:
 
lookin very nice stinkbud as usual.. your system is superb... keep up the good work man, u defineitly know what your doin... peace
