 1/4/10 "Mendocino Purple" in Aeroponics 
#340077 - 01/04/10 04:17 PM (14 years, 3 months ago) |

This is my 3rd grow with this set up, but it's been nearly 2years since my last grow. It's not like riding a bike!
1000k lights
10gal reservoir
Advanced Nutrients
12 Mendocino Purple's
This is day one, just plugged them in my system.
AN 2 part grow
PH down
HydroGuard
SensiCal
Very light feeding, I will up it as soon as I feel the babies are taking to their new home.
The reservoir gets dumped every week with a new batch. I will run just water for a few hours to help remove build ups.
I am going to rock them for 24hr, as previous attempts were very favorable to that. I think it will run for a two weeks, or just a little under that.
Once they get to about 12-16 inches I will flip them to bloom and the real fun begins.

Love the name, one of my favorite Floyd albums. As everyone else already said, nice setup! You have any details on that aeroponics unit? I'm trying to find something like that to maximize my space for my next grow. Good luck with the grow.

I bought mine, while I love it part of me thinks I could do better. But the nice thing is there is no dialing it in, plug and grow!
Mine is a Hydrofarm 24 set up in a 4x8 growhut.
I am rolling with only 12, depending on the strain and such, 24 can be problems. This set up seems to be great for short quick grows.
If this strain can be tried and kept small, single cola, then yeah 24 might rock!

The one modification I did to was to raise the try's high enough for a dehumidifier. I had major issues with moister when the lights were turned off, and even during the day there often would be moister between the leafs, if they were touching.
Anyway with the dehumidifier, I can keep it as dry as I want as I want to.
My reservoir temps are fine, hitting a high of mid 70's. But that is now, it could reach higher depending on the temp in the room.
A water chiller is what I am thinking of, but I find little information that give me confidence to go out and buy one...which one?
I do have a portable AC unit, which is broken for some reason, need to fix that.
With that AC unit, I really have nearly complete control over everything and the system variates little.

I need to get my PH and PPM metiers calibrated, well solution.
My water sucks.
6.8ph
288PPM
So I use RO water, which sucks cause I have to go once a week and fill up two 5 gals of water.
But with that the PH and PPM are at a constant level. So it's worth it.
I do not remember water loss, which is something I will keep track of. I think I use 1-2 gals, depending, a week of tap water to replenish loss.
I will keep track PPM and PH throughout the grow. I seem to remember having problems with the PH at certien points with it jumping, and dropping...

yeah I can go up to 15 or 20gals... but making a run for two 5gals a week is enough...
I need to make my own RO water and then I would no problem.
And here are the nuts and such I am working with...I need to update my stuff..

It looks like there is about 1/4 inch of water loss a day with my system for my 11 gal reservoir. And I am running the lights 24.

Hello Mcdoom and thank you for the welcome, You will be seeing alot here im always looking for good grow advice and any advice i can give i will. I will write a paragraph letting you all know a little bit about who i am and what i do. I am starting my 3rd "real" grow in soil Ocean Forest but my wheels are turning in my head to convert to hydroponics so im rather excited about that.
Cheers All

Any suggestion on trimming these babies.
I am looking to the best of my ability to trim these for a single cola.
I would like for them to get about 16inches at max, but with only one large cola....
Though I have not done this before, so suggestion on what and when to trim would be great.

Are you going to top them? If so I would top in the next day or two max. For single cola though you probably don't top correct? Thaey look really good though after only a few days, Thats awesome

6 days later.
I loose about 1 gal every two days, which is a 1/2 in my reservoir.
My res has spiked to 80, I placed a 2lt frozen soda bottle in, which has drooped my temp to 77. Not sure how long it will last, but I have others frozen.
My Ph has jumped a little but is still within rage. No problem there.
SO right now heat is my enemy with running it 24/7.
But at this rate I'll stop veging soon.
The roots are popping. I have noticed that I should have worried about my jets pointing in the right direction...lol

Fuck for some reason I put in SM-50, a water wetter....that I had sitting around, I forgot how that shit stinks and now my PH has turned to crap.
I hate to use PH up, but I see no other option.
My Ph was at 6.6, I added 2ml of ph down for 11gals.
Now it's shot down to 4. something....
I'll wait a few and see if it balances out....I don't want to start chasing the PH....

Is your ph at a normal level now? Why would ph up be a bad thing? becauase its an added unnecessary "nutrient"?

Well if you keep adding it over and over I'm sure there have to be some sort of negative side effects.
My PH tends to vary quite a bit, and my plants prefer it pretty high. I tried using distilled water and ended up getting a nutrient lockout. I went back to tap water and they all started thriving again. Cannabis you sneaky bastard!

I'll post in a bit explaining why, but I am busy this morning.
I finished all my transplants last night for my next run. Wooo

Day one
Day 10
 
That's almost an inch a day.....
Anyway I am going to flip them to 12/12 tomorrow, they are getting to big to fast!
I'll do a overnight flush and then hit them with Bloom hard.
I don't think it will take much longer then 30 days till harvest. Things happen fast in Aero.

30 days? The fastest flowering strains I have ever seen were around 45 days. I think you should expect something around 55.
Other than that you are doing awesome. They look so bushy already.
That's the advantage of starting with clones rather than from seed. You get so many more branches and in a random locations, not just 2 per node alternating 90 degrees. I like it. I would have done my next run with clones but I didn't have a mother established in time. So I'm just saving one of the best females and mothering her for another run. I've never done a clone grow so I'm feeling out of the loop in that department. I've cloned just never grew the clones. I sold them... ha

You could be right, I wish I had my last grow logs...lost to the interwebz....but I think last time it was close.
idk you could be right, we'll see. 
This is the only system that I have grown in, with clones. I could not imagine having to start from seeds. Or even growing in soil compared to this set up. And I don't even know what I am doing, just imagine what someone who knows how to grow!

Two days ago I did my flush and refilled.
It started out at 920ppm then in the next two days my readings are as follows,
913
873
818
Also my water dropped about 1gal in two days which I refilled...most of which I assume is evaporation. But as my plants grow so does my humidity.
Are my plants this hungry? Are there other reasons that would account for such PPM dropage? Is that common rate?
