hi everyone! first off I want to thank all the hydro and aero masters on this site. I have been lurking on this forum for over 2 years and I have learned a lot!
here is my veg room setup:
power cloner 45
a single DWC bucket
aeroflo 20

Strains:
blueberry, trainwreck, banana kush, maui

the pics are of my clones, their roots (took 1 week to get those roots), and the rest are medium sized and are still vegging!
I am going to need a lot of help, so comments are welcomed!

My flower room (which is currently not in use..I just finished construction)
400 watt HPS, 1000 watt MH (1400 watts total)
2 hydrofarm air cooled reflectors
6 inch exhaust fan (for lights)
C02 system
Large can filter w/ 6inch exhaust fan
aeroflo 18 (has a 17 gallon rez)
I will be taking some more cuttings from my ladies vegging in the aero 20, and then I will put them in the flower room where I will veg for another week or 2 before flowering:leaf:

My DWC ( banana kush) is having root problems due to the rez temp being too high. I use frozen water bottles to cool both the aeroflo rez (8 gallon) and the single DWC rez (3 gallon). This method works great for the aeroflo (temps at 64-68 F, but not so great for the DWC. I have been treating the banana kush with plain water and large doseges of h202 35%. i think this will be the last DWC I will do because the rez heats up way too fast to keep up with...and when I do get a chiller, it's going on the aeroflo 18 in my flower room...

my camera sucks so bear with me, and im buying a chiller before I get a camera ;-)..but I do have a birthday coming up..:-P

Here is a picture of my dwc roots, some kind of root rot, (I trimmed the worst of it off). I am treating them with plan water and 32ml of h202 given over 2 days. I am going to do a rez change tomorrow, and I am going to give her 25ml of hygrozyme in plain water. Any suggestions?
NOTE: I am not using RO water, I am using tap and my ppm is 40.

the other pic is of my nutes & other growing chemicals:leaf:

I just changed the DWC rez( 3 gallon) out. It now contains plain water with 30ml hygrozyme. PH 5.8. Hope she gets better :-(. Other than the roots she looks amazing...but healthy roots are important.. I am also going to take a bunch of cuttings today (from the ladies in the aeroflo), and put them in the aero cloner. Ill put up a pic later tonight. All my other cuttings are rooting quite nicely :lol:
peace,
Biz:leaf:

P.S
This is the chiller I want to buy: http://www.reefplayground.net/aquaeurousa.shtml do you think it is powerful enough for a 17 gallon rez?? I could really use some help with this decision, and help setting my chiller up once I get it!

I think the DWC banana kush is going to survive. the roots dont look great, but they look a shit load better than the did on monday. I had my roommate take care of the ladies last weekend and he did not keep up with the frozen water bottles :sad:. hopefully the hygrozyme will help too!

I took a bunch of cutting today, and my cloner is filled to the brim! here are some un-interesting pics...:bigjoint:

I am going to be moving my ladies from the aeroflo 20 (veg room), to the aeroflo 18 (flower room) early next week.. there will be more pics then!:leaf:

I just checked on the cuttings that I took yesterday, and one of the neoprene caps in my aero cloner was not pushed down all the way. So the new cuttings are all fucking wilted due to what im guessing is too much humidity from all the water being sprayed that collected inside the humidome :sad:. I think I will have to take a new round of cuttings today. The clones that are rooted are fine...thank God! :leaf:

the clones that look wilted yesterday are looking better now, I took, 2 more (1 maui, 1 blueberry) just in case i lose a couple ;-) . The banana DWC roots are heeling nicely. I think I need to buy 2 chillers now ( 1 for the aeroflo 20 an the aeroflo 18) The frozen water bottle method is getting real old... I guess that's all. have a great weekend everybody!
p.s
is anyone from rollitup going to the phish festival this halloween? it's gonna be FUN! :leaf:

The banana kush DWC roots are looking much better. Starting to see some fresh white rootlets growing again. I think the hygrozyme at 35ml per 3 gallon mixed with plain 5.8 ph water did the trick.
I have 2 batches of clones that are in my cloner right now, and the older batch is rooting very nicely, I all already moving some of the rooted clones into the aeroflo 20. The picture is roots in the cloner at 1 week 5 days.
My aeroflo 20 veg plants are getting really big. however , I think they are too close to the 400 watt MH and mylar, so some of the leaves have light burns on them. I have the light on a hanger rack in the closet of the room that I veg in, and the tops of the plants are getting closer by the day to the MH. I am going to hang the MH from the ceiling by way of hooks. But they all look amazing besides that.
Here are some more pics:bongsmilie :joint:
