I'm curious how it would work with organic nutrients. The nutrients I use is made from compost tea and contains quite a bit of solids compared to synthetic nutes.
You ever trim a pound of bud? It's fun the first few times but after 14 years it really sucks! I have to do it every three weeks!Stink, or anybody who knows,
The problem isn't the pollen. All the roots grow together, males and females, into one giant root mass and by the time sex shows, separating the males would kill the females.
Duh! Can't believe I didn't realize... I knew that plants cannot be transported from the aero/NFT, I just didn't put 2 and 2 together... So with that being said, could you just cut the male at the very base and just leave the remaining (dead) stem/roots? It wouldn't necessarily be ideal, but at least it would salvage the females right? Or would the dead roots be an invitation for "the funk"?
poor youAfter spending all day trimming bud I honestly fell my system is enough!
My wife helped some but then she bailed. I should get some electric scissors at least. "I've got blisters on my fingers" (you have to say it like John Lennon)
If I did have a male in my aero/nft system I would cut it down to just a few stems and leaves. Then just pull the male flowers before they get ripe. It takes a long time for the flowers to form and start producing flowers.
Somehow I knew I wouldn't get much sympathypoor you
so I took clones one week ago. And they all look good. Only one is showing root nipples but I hope they all start showing in the next week.
Thanks for all Ur help

. Don't ask me what to put on your blisters...
I'm having to empty half the container every morning! That's a lot of water that was going into the attic.
i was just curious i am not planing on changing this system if it aint broke dont fix it right! i know how it is triming ive sat in the woods and trimed hard 16 hour days for weeks at a time when i was younger and not such a pussy. too much to loose now. im happy with providing for us people who really need it.I'm curious how it would work with organic nutrients.

You should try it and let us know how it works.

It happens late in flowering when they buds are so thick that no air can circulate to the inside. Combine warmth and humidity and you have a perfect environment for mold to grow.
yeah thems my first outdoor grow. some were purple and some were neon green. did well for first time. This year was awsome havent took the pics from my camera to the pc yet though. need a card reader thing.
I actually put alot of thought into this because I planned on running more posts myself and there are a TON of options...you can change the res size, the pump size, etc. etc. It really depends on how you plan to harvest but for this example lets say you harvest every 3w. The thing is with this if you want to be able to slowly up the nute solution (say every 3w when you add new plants) you need 3 reservoirs. There is a 40 gallon rubbermaid that has the same height (if not smaller than) the 20 gallon, it's just way wider. You could run one of these res to accomodate 21-28 plants and just have 3 pumps and 3 res's.
FYI you don't need a card reader..there is a USB cable that directly hooks up to the camera and you just download the pics onto your PC. The card is treated like any other USB storage device. Your camera should have come with this cable if you bought it new.
One option is to run more of the same systems and harvest more often.
