I added a gallon of fresh, took PPMs to 600 and brought the pH to 6.0
I guess I will change out tomorrow.
Hey did you ever see how fast a shop vac can empty a res? I tested it today with a three gallon bucket I had full of water.
Shit sucks it out FAST! Like a gallon a second. Amazing how fast.

Anyway, we got our week veg so its time to go 12/12 in the hydroton cab. All the clones took well. They are a little small but I want to see what I can get from this size under floros.

I have 5 rooted Purple Kush and a few TW and WW in rapid rooter cubes ready for the next aero flower. I may try and separate them from the cubes and put collars on them instead. Haven't tried that before.

These girls are now getting veg nutes. I have a flat air stone at the bottom of the res. the pump is on the cycle timer too.

KABLOOM!

Ahhh, I forgot the root shot.

They havent filled it like I thought really.
I thought there was going to be a problem with the drains
but the roots kinda flattened out to the bottom of the tub.

Battries just went dead or I would take a shot.
I will get one up tomorrow.
 
well that doesn't seem to be a problem, they seem to be doing awesome. how well is the kush rooting and prospering?
 
Doing real good man,

The two rooted I got are in the back row, far right and center.
Getting bushy without topping. I love it. The other five cuttings have rooted.
Seems it took a few days longer then the other strains. Almost lost one but she survived. Very happy with the trade. I hope you are.

I just finished uploading there first video.

Well its week 9 of the aero grow but they have a cameo appearance.

super nice, your buds are quick learners, haha. i love how the kush always seems to have a tight internode no matter what i do to it, or what light its under.
and oh yeah im happy :weed::clap:
 
Well, I found it is getting harder to take root shots with these plants tied down but we got a couple.
I put the camera in a sandwich bag to keep it dry so I use my old one, the power shot, its smaller and fits in the bag
but has less pixels.

Here is what I was trying to explain, see how the roots kinda ball up and not follow the water?
The drain is off to the left of this picture.

Then Look at the Drain.

I can just move these out of the way with my finger.
The bulk of the root systems seems to be centered under the plants and not following the water down the drains like I seen in the tube systems.

This next shot I got the camera all the way inside on the floor of the tub.
You can see how the roots kinda made a web and are now pulled off the ground.
Partially because of the lifting of the lid I am sure.

Cool huh. Gotta have the root Porn. I think this is ratted XXX

When I harvest I plan on leaving the root system intact and taking the lid off so I can get a good look at how they grew.
 
Hey,

Today I tried taking clones I have rooted in rooter cubes and removing the cubes and putting a collar on them for the aero tub.
I have a few extra so I tried it with those as kinda a practice run before I do the Purple Kush.

I let them go a couple days without water to dry the cube a bit. I am not sure if that helped much. I got most of the cube away with very few broken roots. Sorry the first couple pics are blurry so I combined them.

Three are still in the rooter cubes to compare.
Lets see how these do then I will decide if I want to just leave all the cubes intact.

I am going to let it go one more day then its time to change out and start adding something to help these girls bulk up some.
I got a free sample of Bloombastic and I am gonna try it this grow. I have Kool Bloom at a NPK of 0 10 10 but this shit is 0 21 22

I took some shots today before the light came on and there was enough ambient light where I wouldn't need a flash.
This is the first time these girls saw the sun.

Love the root porn,
everything looks as good down under,
as it does on top..

How does your spray pattern look
with all those different type jets ?

Obviously it's working great.
