Day 4. The res temps are stable at 72. Ph is stable at 6.1. The nutes are slowly rising ad the res drops, but I will not go over 800 ppm's. So different from hps/promix rooms, where we let the nutes go to 1200 ppm. growth rate is phenomenal. Roots are coming down the drain tubes. I have pruned off any low nodes, and TOH will be putting the screen on in a few days. We are doing deathstar in promix, under 1000 watt hps, and the led/aero room is far more vigorous. The plants look turgid, but in the best way. The fan leaves are huge, unlike they have ever been in the old school rooms. Omg, I love aero!!!!

Day 5. They are growing very fast. Every time we look in there, we are blown away and reminded the aeroponic growing def packs a wow factor!!!! The res temp is stable, and so is the ph. The stress they experienced at transplant is over. They are looking very happy and healthy. ........now we must insure that they stay that way. The real challenges with aero come later, lol.

Shit, I totally missed that detail.
Flower day 14. The vigor of these plants is wowza!! I love aero!!!! The res temp is holding steady at 71 (and we have had hot days). The way TOH designed the res area is genius. I don't anticipate res temps being a problem. PH steady at 5.9. Nutes are stable at 500 ppm. The roots are thick, and any aero grower knows the roots can get out of control and problems can arise, so that is where I am going to have to monitor. The led's are super cool.....literally, lol. We should be getting the first electric bill soon, so we shall see if it is costing a lot more, or a little more. The plants are starting to bud. They are so lush. The screen will be put in place in another day or so. The plants are great, but I have been a little bit under the weather. Seizures take a toll on me, but I'm getting back to good. We made a tincture and it seems to be working.

are you still taking advantage of strippers?
Tagged for later 
Thanks for stopping by HGO. You're really going to enjoy watching deathstar do her thing (as long as we keep everything dialed). Even the best strain in the world can turn out crappy if the grower screws up, lol. This is unforgiving aero, after all! But so far so good!!!!

What are the signs of this deficiency? Just outta curiosity.
That's a way to reuse left over bottles, but a total stoner thing to forget about doing and to grab the wrong bottle. They look good in the last pic.
Flower day 21. The mag deficiency is turning around. The only affected plant is looking much happier today. And because that plant warned me, I was able to correct the situation. Aero is unforgiving when it goes bad, but if problems are caught early, the turnaround is a blessing. I have the ph at 5.9. My nutes krept up to 700, and I see some tip burn. But other than those things, everything else is going smooth. Res temp holding steady at 71. Root zone temp is 72. The room temp is 74. The led, are working great. So, if I can just avoid screwing it all up, things should be good.

Ganoderma, it was def a screwup on my part, I have a seizure disorder, and I have had a few episodes. Unfortunately for me, I get scrambled brain for a couple of days after. In my scrambled brain state, I decide to go do nutes.........major screwup on my part!!!!! But, I for sure have to watch out for stoner moments, lol......cause then the pump doesn't get plugged in after a res change. Back in the day when I did aero before, I made that mistake a few times!!!!!!!
