Hey all, I have an aeroflo 30 it is my first aero/hydro system. I didnt have the manifold when I bought it so I just hooked up one 10 site tube with a hose from the pump to the tube. Then I figured I would just add another 10 site tube every 2 weeks and build a manifold as I go.
Well I got two up and running then relized that plan sucks due to the differences in nutrient strengths in the flowering cycles. So now I have 2 chambers full and doing well but dont know what I am going to do when it comes near harvest time of the first chamber. Since it is only 2 weeks difference I figure I will just flush the first chamber when the time comes and let the 2nd ride it out.
I also have a problem with the 2nd chamber plants stretching a bit but I guess I am going to let them ride it out and chalk it up as experience, I was considering building a screen to hold them both out to the sides but that seems like I might do more damage then good.
I have a 600watt light over it and am wondering if that will be good enough or would I be way better off getting a light mover?? Anyone else have this system that could tell me if the 600watt will be good enough or should I defitanly get a light mover??
I guess I got a little over eager to start using it now I feel like I have a mess with 2 different strains and the light heats up a bit to much for my liking, would a mover help with that or should I look into both a new hood with a cool tube and a light mover?
Gahhh I guess I am asking what would you do to get this all on track, the plants are healthy as hell and I know I am losing light so I am building a partition in the near future.
Any suggestions to improve things would be greatly appreciated. This is my first aero/hydro grow so I know I have alot to learn and improve.
