I experienced a problem with a previous fish food from Tetra that had their clean water formula. It is way back in the thread under lessons learned...which I don't think I learned very well since the API Pond was bought afterward. I was feeding the TetraCichlid once a day and the API Pond once a...

I've been feeding the fish mainly API Pond food but I think it has been a problem possibly. The clones aren't looking very good after the three indica were thriving. I also feed Tetra brand TetraCichlid because it was the one food that doesn't mention clean water formula at all. All of the clean...

And now that the aquaponics tent was empty, I moved the clones downstairs into that. You can see the dry soil on top of the soil that was in this box. I tried to get as much out as I could but the bigger clones had been in those cups for about three weeks since I got them and had pretty good...

Then, while we watched the Cowboys beat down the Green Bay my in-laws came over and helped me clip the rest. Not that I really needed their help, but they enjoy it and it is fun to hang out with them. This plant could have gotten larger before I started 12/12 but it was one of 5 at the time. The...

The first buds clipped, before I had to do homework and watch my Panthers lose again.

This also means that tomorrow the clones will all be moving into the aquaponics system. I will be doing a large volume water change, something like 75-100 gallons, in order to drop all the nutrient levels in the water for less shock. Also, it looks like it is time to do a water change anyway...

The Silver AK plant in the aquaponics has started to change on the leaves and have that "finished" look to it. The hairs are still very white, but I have never harvested this strain before so I'm going with the overall appearance of the plant. Yesterday it looked basically like it had since the...

So I decided to try Saran Wrap around the drying rack, with a bead of silicone all the way around the front. I waited about 24 hours then cut the opening in a U shape so that I could re-secure it if necessary later. I can feel the air movement at the bottom now so I feel like this was a success...

Those would work for the bottom but the sides I want to seal off completely from letting air through. Saran Wrap would work except that I wouldn't be able to open the drawers. All night I have been rolling that idea around in my head. Kind of thinking that if I put the silicone on there, wrap it...

I keep wanting to post more here but there really isn't likely to be anything new until harvest day. I will be taking pictures at harvest and posting them of course. I have decided to add a skin to the drawer dryer system. The fan duct needs to be straightened out as well, but there is no way...

Yeah, Green Crack is hands down the best one I have had. The Mickey Kush I have now is pretty mellowing for a "sativa" IMO. I will have to check out some of the haze strains. Hopefully I can secure a connection for clones that will be consistent and my life will be MUCH smoother!

Thank you! I haven't had the pleasure of Durban Poison but the Green Crack I have bought at the shops around here have been excellent. Sugar Plum sounded good when I checked it on Leafly, but mostly I was looking for a Sativa and checked that one and it came up as a Sativa dominant hybrid hahahah.

For calcium you can get crushed shells meant for aquariums. It has been a long time but I seem to remember that cichlids like hard water. So far...I don't see a reason to be concerned personally. I picked up three more clones today; Durban Poison, Green Crack and Sugar Plum. I'm really looking...

I grew the plant that the seeds came from, but one of them definitely looks different. Either way, I have two that came from the same mother that appear similar so I'm super happy! The aquaponics definitely looks better, but it is farther along. I tried to change the lights in conjunction with...

Here are updated pictures of the aquaponics Silver AK plant. It smells amazing! They actually have somewhat of a fruity pebbles scent to me. My wife says they smell like Christmas hahahah.

I was pruning my soil grown Silver AK plants and they aren't as far long in the flowering process as the aquaponics plant is but the healthier of the two is starting to have the purple that is prominent in the aquaponics plant and they really appear pretty similar. I'm stoked that it looks like...

They're screw jacks. I made them in my Precision Machining Technology program.

Yeah for sure! More than happy to answer questions as best I can and share what I have learned. I'm not sure what all the sizes of IBC container are, but one of the "smaller" ones (never seen one under 100 gallons) may work great!

Yeah, it was aquariums that got me into aquaponics. Love having fish and just watching them glide through the water sometimes. At the very beginning of the thread I linked another thread, that was the idea thread. There is a simple two barrel system there made of 2x 55 gallon drums and a pump...
