My first aeroponic grow didn't go so well. I never check the PH/PPM, because every meter I bought off Amazon did not work. I did use PH perfect nutes from advanced, and my shit still grew. The yield wasn't shit, but there were a lot of factors. I did a bin of small plants, started them at a foot tall. The potency of the buds was top notch, and the colors came out more in hydro, way more frost, and smell was dank as hell. Just wasn't the yield I was expecting. Now I am doing everything the right way. The first time I tried, I had two 7ft plants going in dirt OG Kush & Blue Dream, so I wasn't as worried about the aero bins. I did not realize the exceptional quality of the aerobin buds until they were dried.
