props man that is a sick setup, good work. I'm going to be wanting one of these.

Alright so the girls have been recovering, it has been slow and their growth was stunted but they are now on their way again. Plant A. Plant B. Plant C. Plant D. Hope this continues, the PPM is currently at 350 and I'm going to up it to 400 soon I think (is that a good idea?)...

Well here is what I had in mind, how does this look? I only had time to do this so far. I'll finish the other views later on. Let me know what you think. Thanks again. :mrgreen:

I've just managed to read my way up until this point and first off I'd like to say kudos Hatch. It's very clear that your careful planning on hard work have made you a very happy grower. Secondly, I would like to say you've inspired me to start planning out my own perpetual aeroponics setup...

Thanks a lot, hopefully this works.

Okay, 3 times a day for how long? We were on 4 times daily for 15 minutes. 1/4 strength? Any idea on best PPM and best pH levels are? Thanks.

So in an effort to prevent restarting and an attempt to save our 4 plants we replaced the sponges with 100% perlite and replaced the nutirent solution with 5 gallons of distilled water. We then flushed the plants, they have been flushed for a half hour so far, so approximately 1/2 gallon each...

I honestly didn't think about that, I knew it was stupid to use sponges, but it was a temporary solution. When we found out the pH was really high we quickly moved them into the hydroponics system (w/o nutrients) and at the time we still did not have our grow media in yet, as we had planned on...

Earth Juice, pH corrected to 6.0, PPM 400

Our four plants are dying from something and we think it may be nutirent burn or incorrect pH. Here are some photos, your opinions are much appreciated.

Thanks man, I can't wait until they start taking off.

The plants had been slowing turning yellow from the bottom-up and after losing E & F to the problem we quickly determined that the pH level of our water that we had been feeding them while they were still in the soil was nearly 8.0. Since drastic times call for drastic measures we transplanted...

But yeah, it looks male to me.

I suppose you're right, many of the males "get down" with the females just not in any sensimilla grows. ;)

The benefits of hydroponics in my opinion come from having complete control over the plants' nutrients. In this way we can control pH, nutrient ppm levels, temperature, as well as oxygenate the nutrient / water solution in the resvoir. By controlling all of these factors correctly you can...

Word on that, it's too bad we all enjoy cock blocking the male plants though...poor fellows.

Alright so I've got to catch everyone up on what has been happening, but first! Weedski- Thanks again, and you're definitely right. I was worried at first because some of the plants are in pots that have been flushed a couple of times so I was worried maybe the nutrients had already been...

Okay, I was thinking it was okay. But, I just wanted to make sure.

Here is a video of our homemade hydroponics system. It is a drip feed system constructed from materials purchased at Menard's, Walmart, and netted pots from CheapHydro.com. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm5IN-kq3Zw More pictures of the plants will come as soon as the 400 watt HPS fixture is in...
