    Hi all,

    First 2 growlogs, and second up to 40 days on clu058, then SANlight. Growlog number 4 ( bottom of the 3 rd page ) is 12 on 12 off from the seeds under the Sanlight - These are feminized indicas 12/12 going from the seed. 3 first growlogs were automated strains, never again an auto strain, uncontrolled, growing more than 100 days etc. !!!


    My setup:

    Grow tent - 0.5m2 hight 230 cm / ventilation - 230m3-270m3
    Light: CLU058 240 watt dimmable at the moment @ 100cm above plants and set up on 120watt
    SANlight q6w - 215 watts 80 cm above the plants 12 on 12 off
    MistKing Misting System - Ultimate / 4 nozzles - 50 microns / Misting roots for 30 seconds every 3 minutes
    Reservoir with feed - @ 20 litres from 4th grow up, fully changed each week
    Reservoir where plants grow - 140 litres,
    PH/EC meter - BlueLab Combo Meter

    Nutrients :

    - GHe Flora Series: Grow/ Micro / Bloom
    - Head Masta
    - Regen-a-root
    - Organic CO2 - Better Organix - foliar feeding
    - Calmag Agent Canna
    - Buddhas Tree - solar green power - Silicic Acid

    EC of tap water 0.6-0.8 ( wanted an RO but have been told there is much more possibilities of root disease )
    EC after feed 1.3/1.4 at the moment and today is 25th day since they germinated
    Humidity in the grow room - 50-60%
    Temperature in the root zone reservoir - min:21.6 celsius / Max 31celsius
    Temperature in the tent min 14.1celsius max 24.6 celsius
    Temperature of the feed - 17-19 celsius

    Few photos of the system and current situation in the tent. - Today is 24th day since germination

    Hygrostat Thermometer / Repeat Cycle Timer -> this runs the system, however Hygrostat Thermometer could run it as well, but not sure how would that work ? Just theoretically - I would set up a desired 99% of humidity in the root zone, place sensor there and it would start misting when humidity dropped to 98%... Maybe it would work ? And maybe i will check this one day, but now repeat cycle timer runs the pump and roots are misted for 30 seconds every 3 minutes.

    I am a HPS man / Soil grower and I wish I had the minerals to step out of my comfort zone!

  3. If you smoke it is probably better to stay where you are, best taste is from an organic grow in soil :), however my friend told me he knows an older lady ( she grows many years ) that produces extremely tasty weed from a hydroponic system. He has assured me that if i still smoked and he gave me a weed from her i would never tell that it is a weed from a soil free grow.
     
  4. Nice man! I’ve always thought aeroponics was neat! Good luck with everything! I’ll be following :)

  5. Yo !

    26th day from germination. I have heard and read that aeroponics is the quickest way to grow weed and maybe it is, but personally i haven't experience this quick growth yet. I have had these six shooters few years back under an HPS and in soil - and they were 3 times bigger than this what you can see here ( can provide photos ) ... I am thinking this may be this led light that is causing this slower growth, or it is just me and still lack of experience in aeroponics...

    I really like this photo - here you can actually see how fine this mist is ( right side of the photo )

  6. Yo !

    31st day from germination. I have done a small LST. Bad points in this aero is: plants are not supported. It is not an issue now, but it may be during the flow. I do not like scrog so will have to find another way to support these. Last time I did not supported plants at all and somehow i made it so maybe this time it will not be a problem as well. We will see :)

    Peace !!!
     
  7. Yo !

    39 days from the seed. it is going so slow. The temperatures during the night time 17-18, during their day 19-20. I know this is not good enough for these plants but winter is on and this is the best i can do. Hopefully this will start blooming soon and when i say soon i fuckin mean that. White marks on the leafes ??? These are the signs left after foliar CO2 feeding. Organic CO2 ---> Nano Breath from Better Organix

  10. I wanted to say i have had these six shooters under 275 watt hps in soil and they gave me 190 gram from 2 plants in just a bit over 10 weeks... Very dissapointed in here so far - this is a fuck up what you can see above... nearly 7 weeks and what the fuck is that ? This is aeroponics ? This is this speedy growth from aero ???? . Fuckin very dissapointed. I have just researched and saw grow jurnals where they were harvested in 12th week ???- this is a fuckin bullshit, an automatic strain that grows 3 months - fuckin bollocs !!!
     
  11. Hi 85 Days since germination... If I only knew they will grow so long.... Honestly guys I could have had a great Sativa instead of this fuckin 100-sth days joke !!!

    Yo !
     
  12. Yo ! This grow has finished on 12th of april. 47 grams of dried weed from led that was set on 80watt, very loose pheno of this six shooters.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Ok, Here we go again.

    An autos from BioGenetic, some mix , not sure which is which ? In this grow a plant is a plant - all autos a mix of : Power Plant, Chocolape, Sour Diesel, orange Bud, Maxi Gom, Ak47, JackHerrer, White Russian
    I have had few auto plants from Biogenetic before in soil and they were allright, but that was under Osram hps.

    The same setup, with small update, plants grew for 12 days in a ''sort of greenhouse'' - this helped me to keep humidity high, do the foliar spray more efficient and there was higher temp inside as well. Led is on 80watt - 1.1 meter from plants
    ec - 1.2
    ph 5.5 - 6.1
    temp min 18 max 23,

    Here we have some photos:

    Ec = 1.3
    Humidity 46% - 55%, ( over 90% - after foliar )
    Root zone temp - 18-22 oC
    Temp in the growroom - 18 - 24 oC
    Nozzles on for 30 seconds each 3 minutes
    Led dimmed to 80watts

    34th day today.

    This mesh is nearly full. 2 Weeks ago they have been sprayed with Organic CO2, A week ago i have sprayed them with Silicic Acid, AND In a week time they will receive another CO2 foliar spray.
    Really recommend you guys this product -> Nano Breath - a foliar Organic CO2 from: - BETTER ORGANIX. These guys are from Estonia... They produce their own stuff and sell it, they have their institute in Estonia... their views in terms of the future of this planet and the quality of the food are pretty cool.

  18. Yo. 38 Days.

    Today I had to make a small upgrade to the system - an access doors. They have been fitted today to make an easy access to the roots as some of them got stuck in those small holes i drilled in the bottom of box for an excess of water so it can dip to the reservoir with solution. There were moments when through those small holes roots were going out of the box, so i had to fix this.
    Another benefit of this - i can show roots a lot better now on the photographs :)
