Ice plants in AeroFlo 1st try at hydro

[jointmcfatty]

Hello, everyone. This is my first grow using hydro/aero. Although, I am an experienced organic grower. I am growing a strain called Ice, which I've had AWESOME results with in soil. I started my clones in Grodans rockwool starter plugs, using clonex gel, and a hot house. I transplanted the clones into the AeroFlo yesterday after about 20 days in the plugs. I started out using a light solution of the General Hydros Flora series. I have heard good things about them. I will keep you guys posted daily on the progress. Im very excited about them. Like I said, Im new to the hydro, so if anyone has any tips or comments, feel free to hit me up.

looks like u got it down dude im def. gonna keep my eye on this one be sure to keep this posted dude p.s. ive been very interested in the ice strain

Thanks bro. Ice is great for soil, I know that for sure. It has high amounts of resin. It literally looks like Ice glistening. Here are some pics of it grow organically. Also, I didnt mention this earlier, but I have the plants in the Aero vegging under some florescents and a 400 MH. Will move them under 2 1000 HPS soon.

Im growing ICE for the first time now, glad to hear you had good results, but what made you switch to hydro?

 

[jointmcfatty]

Heard good things about hydro, so decided to give it a try to see how I like it.

Here are some pics of the plants now. They have been growing in the AeroFlo for a few days now and are getting some roots now. The big plant is the mother Im taking the Ice clones from.

Hi,

Looking good, it's nice to see a smart grow, it makes all the differnce when people take the time to work out what to do before they start.

I'm growing ICE for the first time too. HAd some probelms with heat at the start of my grow, but that solved now. Not to bothered as I was only growing out the seed in order to find a good mother.
And I now have a rooted clone, off the plant that I want to use as a mother, so i'm happy.

Keep us posted its looking good.

 

[blackcoupe01]

How old is your mother plant?

hey, just so you know. The coco-liner things are not necessary at all. GH makes u pay some $20 for 10 of them I think. Buy the net pots with smaller holes in them and just put pebbles around your starter plugs next time. Looks good and watch out for that root rot.

 

[jointmcfatty]

I didnt buy the liners, they came with the system. So i figured I would try em out. I did notice they let a little light through when I didn't have them in. I wasn't sure how much of a problem algae growth would be with a system like this, so I opted to stick em in just to be on the safe side. Ill prob go without them next time. And what would u suggest to keep out the rot? I heard someone mention a product called No Damp before. Ever hear of it?

to prevent the rot, you are going to need a chiller. Keep the water at 68 and you will never have problem.

I was thinking about doing Ice for an aero grow. Keep posting and let me know how it goes.

 

[jointmcfatty]

I know it been a while since I lasted posted some pics, but here are some new ones. They are growing SOOO much every day, its insane. The ladies are currently 2.5 weeks into flowering and are looking fantastic. I had a couple bumps in the road, but nothing major.

Where can i get ice seeds from

 

[jointmcfatty]

I get mine from www.marijuana-seeds.nl. It usually takes a couple weeks for em to get here. Definitely recommended.
