Are you talking about my soil plants in the beginning of the journal or this royal kush plant? I think she has looked great all throughout with zero pH problems. Do you mind showing me what pic you are talking about? Thanks man, not trying to be a dick or anything just curious as to where you were seeing a pH problem

Aero system 8 days into 12/12
Looking pale due to cal/mag deficiency, I added some more cal-mag + to the rez after taking pics...
They are eating it up like crazy
I have a gallon of Botanicare's Pure Blend Pro and a gallon of Botanicare's Liquid Karma coming in the mail. They should be here on the 7th. I will be changing out the rez and adding in the PBP and LK along with Botanicare's cal-mag+
There's 14 plants squeezed in there, there is enough room for 10 more though if I trim some :blsmoke:

Day 19 flowering here, really starting to get big for having no veg time :bigjoint:
My nute mix is 30ml. Pure Blend Pro Bloom, 10ml. Liquid Karma, and 7ml. Cal-mag + per gallon
pH: 5.6
Nothing better than an organic aero grow :fire:

tom. excuse my noob question but how exactly does an aero system differ from a hydro? my noob guess is no water in an aero?
i never learned what aeroponics is so far in my journey

Aeroponics just allows the roots to be exposed to more air than a regular DWC or ebb and flow
There is a water pump at the bottom of that tote attached to 1/2" tubing. There is a bunch of sprayers in the 1/2" tubing that spray out a fine mist when the pump is turned on
The water pump is connected to a recycle timer that makes the pump go on for 1 minute and stay off for 5 minutes. So when the pump turns on the misters spray a mist for a minute that is high in dissolved oxygen, than when the pump is turned off the roots stand freely in the air sucking up oxygen. This way the roots never dry out while getting the most o2 possible
The blue tubing is the 1/2" tubing and the yellow things are the 180° misters that will be changed out to 330° misters for the next grow
Here is a link explaining it a little better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroponics
