try a different thread...could it be stress?, pollination?, not all feminized seeds turn out to be female depending on seedbank.

I plan on using the fence post system for vegging too... how large of plants can the fence posts support I am willing to add support, but will the root mass get to large for it if I want to veg for an entire flowering cycle ~ 60-70 days then flower from there will this system be able to hand it...

I am going to skip his veg unit and veg them in the fence post system and flower in the fence post system. How big of plants will it support. I am worried about root mass not support for the stalk of the plants.

just from what i know about all this .......if you veg em in your post system .....i would kick em in to bloom no later than 14-18 inches tall ......sometimes less is more .......altho this is just my opinion and i am new to aeroponics in bloom room ...

I have 220 ppm should I run RO or will I be fine?
Start with the purest water, air, medium and light. With that in mind you are losing the ability to put in 200 to 220 ppm of nutes. I use a filter, not RO and my ppm is only 40. Leaves more room for nutes.

Hope this helps.

What kind of lights will you be using?

OK, so my girls are about 12 inches tall... they are a healthy glow of green with no yellowing or burning tips. Running about 2000ppm at around 6.0 ph. They tips are slightly turned down on some, yet slightly up on others? they are all the same strain and they are all female and cloned at the same time. What does curling leaves up or down usually mean?

I know that if the leaves are curled up its because its too hot.

Up = Heat stress, Down = Nutrient Burn, Drooping Leaves = Over Watering

I will either use 600 watts or 1000 watts....I already have 1 1000 watt from a previous grow and am looking into expanding.

I was wondering if I would be better suited to buy 1 extra 1000 watt, that way I have 2 1k watts total for 24 plants

or should I run 1 1k and buy 3 600's cuz 1k's are overkill or should I go 4 1000's.... i want to grow in a 77x77x77 tent

what kind of light systems are you guys using for each one of your fence post systems and how many plants are you running per 2 post system with and veg time.

Also would I be able to run 4 posts with 6 plants in each post 2 months veg instead of 2 posts out of the 18 gal res. or should I look into buying a larger reservoir.

If your 1000watt has a HUGE reflector i would go with that. Because the fence post is 6 feet long keep that in mind. The corner plants might not get light with just 1 light.

Yeah - more headroom for nutes - but I think you are fine with 220PPM. That is right at the line where you get RO. Skip the CalMag or use much less... A simple filter could easily get you down to sub 100 - if you don't want to fork for RO. 200 is great for the cloner.

If you do get RO, you will get long filter life and higest GPH with your 200PPM source. Your tap is definitely good enough for mid-flower res flushes, etc. I wish I didn't have to use RO - I'd trade my RO unit and 500+ PPM water for your 200PPM tap! haha

There has been much talk of water on the thread. For those of you near a Sears store, they have little bottles you can pick up and fill with a sample of your water. Return it to Sears and get a free report of your water. It is helpful and shows the level of Calcium, chlorine, and other elements in your water. It is not the most detailed report, but quite a bit more informative than a PPM meter! This service may also be offered at pool / jacuzzi supply stores and other places that sell water conditioning items in your area.

Great idea! +rep

I can see where it would work great for the Flower unit. Will the lid on the Vegger hold without stripping the screws?

sorry i was a little bit lit:joint:, i forgot to specify. i only use it on the flower units, i havnt had any problems with tipping over in the veg yet but im sure you could get them to work by using a small screw with a washer and nut.
