Pootie Tang Aptus/Heavy 16 Grow

I have been reading about Aptus lately, and have decided to give it a try. I have been running the full line of Heavy 16 with some budswel thrown in for good measure. After reading jackmayoffer's grow, I wanted to check out Aptus, since he likes it with Heavy.

I have some Pooties ready to come out of the cloner and are looking ripe for veg.

I run a continuos hydro system, halo rings running over large growstones. I will put some pics up as soon as I figure out how to.

Day 1

Day 1

So here they are at day 1. From the looks of it, I will not have to worry about changing out the resi every three days as Aptus suggests. These little ladies are drinking a lot. Looks like the resi will be empty in two. Gonna top off with some tea that I started to brew today.

Today these plants have been in veg for around 17 days. I used the suggested dosage of both the Fasilitor and Bloomboost. I also would top off my resi with some compost tea. After looking back at the day 1 pic, I am amazed at how much they grew in a little over two weeks. The other big difference I can see is that many of the fan leaves got as big as dinner plates using the Aptus. I am interested in getting brix readings from my plants, but that is maybe in my next grow.
My flower room is maybe 10*13*8, two 3*8 trays with 4 plants per tray. Each tray has 2 1000 watt lights, air cooled. I run a constant drip, same as in veg. I also run 1200 ppm CO2 from a generator and cool my room to 80 and ~50% humidity.
I just switched the plants last night, I will have some day 2 flower pics soon.

Your grow looks awesome. I am a new grower have exp. years back. I am trying a 2x2x68" grow tent with a Solar Flare 200W LED fan/exhaust, F&D table 10 gallon res. 3' air tubing. I bought the veg, bud, prime. I am just germinating with some seeds I saved from back in he 70's some Columbian and Thai and they sprouted !

Your set up looks similar, what size is your table, your lighting, your medium? what was the time of your yield. I too plan on scroging but not sure on the variety. I would love to see pick of the final if you have them.
