This is my first grow for 2013. Same setup as my previous grow in the rookie aeroflo grow along with the following modifications.

Changed internal sprayers to top feed sprayers.
New ecoplus 2245 pump run constantly.

Once I changed to top feed I was really unhappy with the spray pattern of the rio 22hf pump. possibly due to age.

Any way the pictures are about 2 weeks of veg in unit. Plants wer e rooted and veged to about 6 inches in my turbo cloner.

Strain - 10 ea 2 back rows the old standby BCN Diesel, the rest 3 different phenos of Weedbeat Seeds Resin Candy, and one Rp Og#18.

Can't wait to see what differences you can see with the new pump!

Plants are looking very healthy!

Wish ya the best man

Thanks everyone for stopping by. The ladies for this grow are really taking off.
I think the combination of new higher gph pump and the top feed sprayers are kickin it.
As you can tell by the recent photo of the unit everything is in overdrive.
Data sheets for prior weeks attached.

Like the switch to top feed! It seemed better than the sprayer bars on the bottom with less opportunity for roots to clog the nozzles.

LivingCanvas, thanks for joining in, yes the top feed is working out great.
I had problems with covered sprayheads and getting those roots out at the end
of a grow, they just engulfed the spray lines below.

Anyway the ladies are really loving the top feed and I bit the bullet and went to
a digital ballast (solis tek matrix) with remote, really nice but wish it had a timed socket on it
to plug my light rail into. I have noticed some electromagnetic interference with my blue lab
ph meter. It was jumping around when checking ph and did not dawn on me that it
was the frequency emitted I think by the bulb. If a get a sample from my res and am not below the
light everything reads fine.
Other than that no other problems.

Still using aerokrafters nute regieme and all is very good. Should be ending stretch in the next few days.
Buds are starting to form and after a slower start for the resin candy and og18
they have passed my diesel except for the #6 pheno of resin candy.

So heres some pics and GL to all. OG

Thanks for stopping by BBB. After joining the rookie aeroflo grow along documentation has become the name of the game. On my startup sheets I have also noted amount of stretch for unknown strains for future runs.

About my setup, the area is approx 1.2m x 1.8m. I am using 1000k lighting on a lightrail. There are 5 tubes with 5 plants each so 25 ladies total. I do top my ladies and usually leave 2 or 3 main shoots to grow up from the topping. I have grown very fond of my setup and always look for ways to improve my setup and skills.

GL, OG

Cool matey I'm subbed and will see this through to the finish with you!
It's good to see ppl taking there own anitiative for constant improv all
ATB and as always nuff respect....
