Hello everyone!
Long time soil / soiless grower, first time Aeroponics grower.
This is my first attempt with my homemade aero setup and I figure I may as well share it with everyone in a thread dedicated to my first aero trial.
This IS a trial - These strains are nothing special - It is simply to iron out any major flaws I find before putting more valuable strains through the system.
So here's the basics:
Veg - 3 Weeks - 400W Metal Halide (MH)
Flower - 10 Weeks (Approx.) - 600W High Pressure Sodium (HPS)
Nutrients: Growzilla (Veg) - Budzilla (Flower) - Earth Juice (EJ) Microblast and Catalyst for an added boost!
Ventilation and Circulation fans on 24/7 - Dehumidifier may be used in late flowering if necessary.
Aero Mister/Sprayer Cycle is: 15 Minutes ON / 30 Minutes OFF.
But enough of that boring crap, if you want to know something about this Aero Trial, just ask! - I will try to update with pics weekly!
Now, the fun part, the pics!
Oh, and the strains go like this:
Front Right: AK-48
Rear Right: Bagseed Skunk - Has proven to perform well in past soil and soiless grows!
Front and Rear Left: Unknown strain, Sativa dominant, very Hazey buzz - Seems to love the aero so far!
Here are the roots of the plants, the first picture is taken at the end of week 1, the second Week 2, and the third at the end of Week 3 - and the first day of the 12/12 flowering switch (hence the orange tinted light from the HPS).
And this is the canopy at the end of Week 1 (Left) and 2 (right) of Veg:
End of Week 2 Veg - Moved the Aero tub to centre of grow room - Pictures are before (Left) and After (Right) some random LST abuse hahaha (Sorry bout the low quality of the photos):
And this is at the end of Week 3 Veg / First day of Flowering. The plants quite liked the LST abuse lol:
I'll keep you updated with more pics next week, and hopefully each week after that till harvest!!!
... Any questions, feel free to ask!
Remember, I've grown a lot in soil and soiless setups in the past, but I've never grown Aeroponic styles before, and barely ventured into Hydro at all, so forgive my mistakes, be gentle and wish me luck!
Further information:
Provided this grow goes well and I can iron out any flaws in my basic system that arise, some of the strains that I will be growing in this in the future are:
- Super Lemon Haze (Green House Seeds)
- Kali Mist (Serious Seeds)
- White Russian (Serious Seeds)
...and maybe, MAYBE further in the future:
- Super Skunk (White Label)
- Afghan Kush (White Label)
So keep an eye out for future threads!
Cheers everyone!!!
