Day 6 Well I went out and bought a timer today at the hydroshop. I'm currently running 1 minute on every 30 minutes. Here's an update of the trays with the LEDs off. They're growing, but all and all still not happy. I'm not sure where the blame lies: over watering the rooters with the...

Good to know. Well guess what I just found? Yup, thrips. These may have been contributing to the leaf issues. I found them on a few of the plants. Naturally I sprayed the leaves tops and bottoms with azamax at 60mL per gallon for both the main table and the mothers. The thing I can't...

Well, I actually think it's much easier to under water them. Water uptake depends on A LOT of factors..lights, humidity, temperature, nutrients, anti-transpirants, etc. Instead of using a timer I think if you really wanted to go HP (and I saw this in an actual agricultural journal on a...

Another question, I've been using hypochlorous acid but it's evaporating much too quickly. I think the stuff is just evaporating out of the water in the misting chamber. I'm going through about 100g of the stuff a day and by the next day I've got 1ppm total chlorine, 0ppm free chlorine, and...

The mist is off for now. I'll have to look into getting a timer. You did confirm my suspicions though. I was kind of like...well the tips are getting burned juuuuuust a little but they're yellowing like they're hungry. Well, 1.0 EC might be just a hair strong for them but I've definitely...

They are and they are, looks like someone's going to need a timer after all. What times do you recommend per hour? Keep in mind it takes about 10 seconds to just build pressure and the lowest time I can do is about 1.5 minutes.

Day 5 Well they look a bit stressed to me, what do you guys think? Here's a couple pics of just some random girls.

Y u no add silica to res? o_O Their mothers love it, and the strain, gg #4, is known for weak branches. So I'd like to make sure they're able to withstand the bondage once I get the nets out :hump:. The girls, we'll call them Anastasia Steele. Me, I'm Christian Grey. ;) I think you guys...

Haha ok ok, maybe half a pound?:dunce:

Day 4 Well today we learn about Calcium hypochlorite and the crappy solubility of store bought stuff. A "mud" will form on the bottom of your ORP injection bucket. Disclaimer: Calcium hypochlorite products come with a warning that it's a violation of federal law to premix, kind of like...

Store it in pH 7 between uses. But don't just dip it in your res and put it in the cup of pH 7 directly, you'll change the pH of the solution by doing that. You use a little squirt bottle and over a separate jar or trash can or something you rinse the electrode and wet area off with a...

Ph pens are very sensitive pieces of equipment. If you don't take care of them they're not going to last regardless. If you want the most bang for your buck and accuracy you need: -two small glass cups -two squirt bottles -calibration solutions(likely 4 and 7) First, calibrate by...

Day 3 Well I gotta say, it's rather unfortunate that I had let the clones dry out prior to putting them in here because some are looking a little sad. Hopefully they bounce back. I lowered the lights down a bit and have them all turned on now. Here are a few more pics of the table for you...

It's not that hard really. I think it probably took me a day to build everything, mix up all the solutions, and set up and program? The cart itself is 4' long by 39" tall (not including the wheels below) and 13" wide. There is I think 19" between bottom and top shelf. This would allow me to...

Haha, well since I'm the first one that's done this (to my knowledge) perhaps I should just make up another acronym. CHPA? Continuous High Pressure Aeroponics. I do admit though, even with a 1/4HP chiller on my 50 gallon reservoir the temps 85F (30C). Without the chiller it was 90F. I'm not...

The doser is just an etherdose. In the waterproof junction box on top of the rack I built pictured above is: router, etherdose controller, ORP controller, surge protecting power strip. The router has one LAN cable coming to the etherdose and another I can connect to a computer. With this I...

Grow Day 1 Room: -4 Kw LEDs -Dehumidifier -Minisplit -Carbon filter -CO2 controlled by small water heater, run at 1500ppm Table: -Steel sprayers being run at 170psi, no timers - I'll be interested to chart growth rates..anyone running high pressure always ran timers and I'm not sure it's...

They ended up being fine, I just had to cut off that leaf and one that had some gray mold on it, rest are unaffected

I have not personally, big Buddha seeds is doing an experiment on icmag with it though

In the defense of the plant, I did have them packed into the tray pretty tight. They're 7 1/2 days old and just starting to show roots. At first I thought I had spider mites and almost crapped my plants. Never thought I'd be so glad to see mold. Just cut it off and destroyed it outside of...
