Ice plants in AeroFlo 1st try at hydro

Dug around and found some old shots of the 100 gallon rez configuration the track and rollers and hoses. notice how lower fans are attached to tubes and the velcro panels instead of holes in tubes.

I really like that setup that u had. It looks like you put a lot of time into it. The ability to move the tubes around must have be awesome. I think i will definitely look into doing something like that. Did you use Co2 at all? If so where and how did u exactly did u put it in the garden?

Hey joint,

A few things to think about if you want the most return on investment of labor and $:

In a previous life I ran something much like the aeroflow----except much improved---and here's why I think so.

1) with the tubes (channels) all the sme height----the tallest plants dictate light heigth, soooooo----why not hang the tubes from the ceiling using dog chain and the ability to slide them apart on a box rail and rollers (used for sliding barn, warehouse doors, etc----works great.

2) add to each tube a 1" drain fitting and hose and a 3/4" sprayline fitting and water hose for the spray line------this ambilical cord method allows tubes to be easily adjusted vertically (more plant material receiving light). This also makes easy access to the center of the canopy for prunning, trainning and harvest.

3) you didn't mention what kind of reflectors for your 1Ks, are they air cooled? Using a mover? ----if not----do so----well worth the investment.
Back in the day, my tubes were 6" x 10' pvc and three 1Ks (two in a 5' cool tube, one in a 2' cooltube------this method allowed me to place the lights around 5' from floor and position tubes so at finish ------product was all the way around the lights forming a cylinder of buds.

The reason I did this was to try and maximize our weakest environmental link----atrifical light intensity.

Don't know if you're still reading this----if interested---I'll try and find some old pics of the setup----lots more to offer to the "cause".

BTW---the main advantage to aero is more dissolved oxygen to the roots and the automation ability----plus monitor and controll.

I ran 7 ml micro, 14 ml bloom per gallon all the way through flowering---no complaints.

Have fun,

A~

Wow, Thats looking great.

How much you getting per plant?

I'm intersting in decreesing the number of plants but increasing yield. the oppsite of a sea of green.
 
ICE ICE BABY looks great love the leaf to cylax ratio of the strain bet it makes for easy triming and high yeilds indoor i will def be watching this from now till finishkiss-ass
 
hmmmmm makes me a little liery cuz if u look at the first pic he put in look at the bottom of the pic and it shows like an aeroflow type system but then in the second pic it shows there being grew in soil.......:-|
 
Oh sorry pppfemguy, i didnt know i wasnt allowed to have organics growing next to my aeroflo. Sorry guess ill take them out. Whatever. Any relevant posts please?
 
So does anyone else think im LYING about what im doing? I mean gimme a break. Why would i lie. i think im done with my journal cuz of this #$@#
 
Oh and btw, the plants that you guys see growing in the dirt is Lowryder 2. But dont listen to me. Im probably lying again
 
And I got a lil over an ounce when i grew it organically. So I hoping to get at least an oz per plant. But I don't know. We'll find out when the grow is finished though.
 
Keep us up to date w/ the grow. It is obvious that the plants in soil are next to the system. Keep up the good work.

jeeeez dude chill the fuck out smoke a lil and sit back holy fuck dont lose ur balls over a post i just dint know you were growing in soil as long with the aeroflow system cuz ur grow journal does say 1st ice aeroflow grow so i had no idea some of ur plants were in soil i wasnt saying it as if u werent growing it i was just asking in reference to why u had some soil plants up in there but nvm dint know questions aint allowed plus why would i diss on ur grow or try to condem ur grow if i member right im the first person to post on ur grow journal for this grow so smoke some weed and chill jeez-is-fuckin-christ p.s. i aint no bitch...........bitch
 
Im sorry if i came off as a dick, but I put a LOT of time and effort into my grow. And I dont appreciate it when people say things like what you did. You could have just as easily asked me why it looked like they were in dirt, instead of implying that I was making things up or lying or whtever it was that you were trying to imply. It also probably didnt help that I had a BAC of probably .25 when I saw that post. LOL . Ill post more later. Peace
