Rookie Aero Flo Grow Together

[Normlizer]

also thanks for the quick reply. Tonight i'm going to change out my rez for a bigger one 2x the size. 8gal is pretty small for 19 girls.

I use the full lineup the flora expert recirc i think the color is from floralicious plus. It is real dark almost like molasses.

Floralicious would cause the staining on your roots, but because of it's sugar content it is also likely to cause rot in an aeroponic system. Best to stick with straight minerals when growing aero. Drop everything other than grow, micro, and bloom. Treat with chlorine or EWC tea, and hope for the best. You might be able to pull this crop through harvest, but for future runs, nothing but mineral nutes.

well ph is stable now. Made my res 2x as big.

 

[Normlizer]

My ph is still stable sitting around 6.0. So i don't think its root rot.

Hope not for your sake, but I still stand by everything I said. Highly recommend you drop anything with organic inputs. If you don't, it's only a matter of time before the rot gets ya. Just ask anyone who's done aero for awhile .

I hate to change things up 1/3 of the way through flower.

Here is a update pic

Do as you wish, it's your garden after all . Buds look to be stacking nicely, but I can't help but notice what looks to be spider mite damage on most of the leaves. Are you taking steps to kill/control them? Old damage perhaps? Bit late for sprays, but if you have a small garden manually smashing them with you fingers works great to control the outbreak until harvest.

 

[Normlizer]

how can u tell the leaves have spider mite damage?

 

[Mister_D]

Characteristic tiny white spots/bite marks on the bigger leaves. Check out pest and disease sticky in the infirmary if you'd like to see more pics of what i'm talking about.

 

[Normlizer]

The spots are water spots from me misting the girls with there biweekly foliar feeding of liquid karma.

 

[Normlizer]

Only bugs i seen in my garden were them darn stink bugs.

 

[Mister_D]

Maybe it's just the picture then. Some of it looks like water spots, but in particular that large light green leaf in the lower right looks like spider mite damage.

 

[Normlizer]

Yea pics are not the best.

here is a random budshot

 

[Bigge]

I would be open for this...what's timeline to start veg?

 

[Normlizer]

Idk bigge seems like this thread is dead. i'm trying to keep it alive. Aerokrafter said he has a grow along at another site but not sure where that is.

 

[Normlizer]

I'll keep this tread going. Here is a little update on the girls.

 

[Normlizer]

few more weeks to go till harvest. Should be a nice harvest buts have packed on alot of weight and getting frostier by the day. Only 3-4 weeks left. I really don't think the ph drop was from root rot if they are still growing like this. I think it was due to a small rez that needed changed. But i could be wrong.

If the ph has stabilized your good to go . Still strongly recommend you drop everything with organic inputs. You WILL get rot if you continue using them, just a matter of when. Garden looks great though
