Im just saying what NASA said that’s all. Looks like your 5 gallon bucket does seem to work for you. Im not surprised, I know it will work. But I can bet that a 5 gallon bucket will never be as good compared to 30 gallon containers for the same tent size when yield, potency, growth rate and...

When I first used a 5 gallon bucket for HPA, in 3 weeks the plant's roots was already covering and sitting at the bottom of the bucket collecting all the waste nutrients as it drained. The bottom roots was not receiving any kind of proper hydro atomized nutrients since it was covered by more...

Actually I was referring to HPA. The inventors of true aeroponics “Agrihouse”, do sell nutrients that are 100% organic (derived from aquatic sources). The NASA sponsored scientist states that 50 micron water droplet size is the optimal droplet size. “Agrihouse” actually sells the NASA science...

I rather not waste my time for silly HPA systems. Not even NASA would do such thing for a large plant like cannabis. I know I tried it been there done it, was not optimal for me. If it works for you thats awesome. The best grows I have seen over the past decade was all done in large big...

You simply can not logically and practically grow a full grown cannabis plant on a 5 gallon bucket. You need at least a 30 gallon container for each cannabis plant. The roots will literally outgrow the 5 gallon bucket and the mist will never reach roots thats deep below and get root rot. In DWC...

Yes you can grow aeroponics organically using organic liquid fertilizers. But its better to use inorganic liquid fertilizers. GH has General Organic liquid fertilizers.

I also highly advice not to use GA3 for rooting for cannabis plants. GA3 will also cause cannabis plant to go hermie or be a male in a non stress manner if applied to the roots. This is because GA3 is the "male" inducing hormone for the cannabis plant. GA3 will signal the plant to be male...

Thanks. I took out the cover few weeks ago and helped a lot. Now I will transplant the plant into a bigger pot and move it to the closet with a fan circulation. In few weeks I will get cuttings hopefully and place them into the HPA Aeroponics system.

Yes it an Aero grow journal, I am trying to show how I obtain the strain from seed, the strain will be a mother plant grown on soil, then I will take cuttings and place them onto an aeroponics system. Thought it would be useful to show the entire experience from Day 1. That is actually a CFL...

Yes, this grow journal is based on HPA Aero. But since I only have one seed survived and the seed strain is very rare hard to obtain and expensive, I will play safe and grow a mother plant on soil. Once the mother plant has developed with many nodes, I will take cuttings and place them into a...

Day 29 (January-10-2021): Well, well look what we have going on here... I think this bad girl is really a female plant. At this stage this plant already smells like fire. I hope I'm not talking too soon about "its" gender. But from my "trained" eyes :cool: this is definitely early signs of...

Alright so I have transplanted the germinated seeds into soil. Day 15 (December-27-2021): Sadly all the seedlings except the bottom most right, died due to "damping off"... I did sterilize the soil but I assume during the germination process with the paper towel method it got infected. I...

What is the advantage of AA? Didn't NASA said 50 microns was the ideal droplet size? THPA is 50 microns, AA is close to the single digits of microns which seems counterintuitive. Anything much smaller than 50 microns is not better, roots can not absorb it a fast as to 50 microns.

You can really saturate the tank with oxygen using a simple "Pinwheel Impeller" pump... this stuff is specifically designed and engineered to saturate the water with oxygen, it's used in the fish reefing hobby/industry. Can also be used for hydroponics. The way it works is that it uses a simple...

Interesting, I started to suspect that HPA aeroponics seems to be somewhat overkill for the serious home grower. Over the past years I have seen countless of people happy with their low pressure aeroponics system. Do you have any posts or journals where you compared side by side of HPA with LPA...

Very organized and well thought out relay unit. I likes it. How much did everything cost?

I am reading Greg Green's book "The Cannabis Breeder's Bible" and it mentions about the product called "Sensa-Spray". I am particularly interested with this product due to the fact it is able to promote a cannabis male plant into a female by producing female flowers. This is because it contains...

You're much better using the open source project called "openPCR" to conduct DNA testing to find the gender of the cannabis plant as soon as it produces 4 leaves after germination.

True, but there many application where old seeds and difficult to grow seeds require some help.

This is know as "Bio-Priming" in the world of plant pathology biology . It is used in commercial crops or lab environments for germinating seeds. They use the beneficial bacteria fungi called "Trichoderma", this fungi is a bioagent (good stuff), make a paste like solution and mix it with the...
