Thanks for the in-depth explanation. I love it when I can learn something.

Dyna-Gro Pro-Tekt contains potassium and 7.8% silicon to reduce stress. What is the thing about silicon, I keep hearing about it, but haven't used it. How does it lock the pH?

Here are the pics. This plant is now 18" tall. The smaller one. The larger one. From the top. OK OK here is some root porn for you root pervs out there.

Day F14 The plants have been flowering for two weeks. In post #62 you can see what they looked like when I turned out the lights. I will have current pics tonight when the light comes back on. I flushed yesterday. Mixed nutes in a clean bucket. Balanced the pH at 6.0 Water temp 22c, added...

The plants are growing. Even the small one has started to stretch somewhat. The larger one is starting to drink. The water level is slowly dropping as is the pH over night. So the plant is drinking more water than it is using nutes, so the pH goes down. The water temp was 22c, so I added Ice...

If memory serves, the ingredient in a lot of sweeteners is molasses. I've always used GH. The Advanced stuff is just too expensive for me. When I first started growing, NASA was doing aero experiments so they can grow in space. They were using GH nutes, so I thought they were good enough for...

I might use Diamond Nectar, or black strap molasses.

Welcome R. I use GH nutes. Cal/Mag and Epsom salt. I might add a sweetener soon.

There are some lower, older leaves which have some yellowing and a few spots. The pH had drifted down to around 5.3... Rebalanced the pH to 6.0. The plant looks good this morning. pH is still 6.0

Thanks J. I wish I could have had more time in the begining for veg, but I need some weed.

Hi V, I just read your thread. Your plants were looking great in the aero set-up. Good luck with the soil.

DAY F7 The larger plant has grown 1.5" in the last two days to 13" tall. The smaller one is growing but slower and bushier, I think. Added one gallon RO water to both buckets, with nutes and pH balanced. I also added one more 6" air stone to each bucket, for a total of three per each. pH...

Plants are growing. The large one is 11.5" pH had drifted down. Rebalanced to 6.0 Water temp 19c.

Say R, sorry for the late response. Feel free to post your pics. I'll be happy to help any way I can.

The lights just came on. Here's some pics.

Day F1 (flowering, day one) The lights were turned off at 7:00 AM, and will come back on at 7:00 Pm. Yesterday I mixed new nutes, using the transition to bloom formula in clean buckets, and moved two plants into these buckets. The other two clones were discarded. 4.5 gal RO water 40 ml...

I think The environment in which the plants find themselves, is the most influential thing effecting the plant itself. If I had a property where I could grow, which was totally dialed in and environmentally controlled, I could develop a more laid back, set it and forget it type mentality. But...

Say N, hows it goin? Yeah me too! I started with Aero a long time ago. Never had a problem, even in summer. Then came the nutrient deficiencies, Root rot, and insects. WHITE FLIES! I hate whits flies like no other. They are extremely hard to finally get rid of. I've used the spray bombs, neem...

I'm going to turn the lights out this Sunday. I don't expect much from the plants which have been mostly dormant. But the one which has taken off should be OK. Tonight's readings are; pH 5.9-6.0 Water temp 22c PPM, not sure. My batteries are dead in my PPM meter. I will fix this ASAP. The...

Thanks to Meta for suggesting covering the buckets. It helps keep the water temp down.
