1st Time Aeroponic Ak47/Bluecheese/Amnesia Lemon

Hey This is my "first grow", I just started using Aeroponics and i'm blown away with results thus far, I'm slightly late in starting this journal as i'm 3/4 of the way into the 2nd week of flower But i did take pictures earlier so I thought i'd share my grow with you
so to start I'll list the equipment and nutes i'm using aswell as the strains

2x Bud Box Tent 100x100x200
2x Amazon aeroponic units (16 hole)
2x 600watt HPS lighting
1x aquarium airpump
1x carbon filter + 5' fan
1x 20hole aeroponic propagator
1x Hydrometre
1x Nute wand
1x PH tester

Nutrients

Vitalink max grow A/B
Vitalink max bloom A/B
Vitalink Bio-pac
Hygrozyme
BudXL
Vitalink Buddy
Ripen
Vitalink Flush
Foliar Feed "Halo"

Plant Strains:

Amnesia Lemon(from seed) x3
Ak47(clone) x9
Blue cheese(clone) x3

I started the 1st tent on the 15th Jan 2010 Flowering, I vegged for just over 1 week
I started the 2nd tent on 23rd jan 2010 flowering and vegged for just over 1 week
I can't remember the *exact date* I started vegging from sorry.

The first tent has 4 plants 3Blue cheese and 1 ak47, the blue cheese came from a great mother plant and by far the best one i have
the ak47 came from quite a poor mother and far that are not doing so great as the blue cheese, the Amnesia lemon are straight from seed
feminised, the 2nd tent has 11plants in mostly the ak47 and 3 amnesia lemons, I'm kinda testing aswell, seeing the yields
from both tents seeing if the more yields more or the less yields more, I suppose it won't be a fair test cosidering how good a strain
the cheese turned out to be a great strain descriptions and pics will be posted in my next comment and I will try to update atleast once per week untill harvest

Dont see any pics.. But, I agree Aero does kick ass if you can control the plugged up injector problems they usually encounter. I have an experimental dwc Bucket, thats kinda doing an aero thing. Best of luck to you

So what we have here is the carbon filter, 1st tent (4plants) the other tent and some roots from the 1st tent, this is about a week into the 1st tents veg and just when i started the 2nd tent

So we have a nice looking leaf from one of the blue cheeses very nice healthy looking texture, spider webb roots and the 2 tents.. its easy to tell which plant is the Ak47 amongst those bushy blue cheeses then we have the Ak47 tent(2nd tent) not as nice looking as the other but I'm impressed with there growth, tho they don't look half as healthy friday 29th will be the 1st tents 3rd starting week of flower, and saturday 30th the 2nd tents 2nd week of flower begins.

These which were took today, hydrometre reading 22.4C and 49% humidity , comfort zone apparently, the aquarium airpump the amnesia lemon seed doing fine, and a top view from the bluecheese and 1 ak47, well thats all i've got for now I'll try to update again next weekend thanks all! been a pleasure.

I'm growing amnesia lemon too along with white dwarf in a PC stealth setup with HPS/LED/CFL. I'm excited to see how the amnesia lemon looks when she's flowering. Mine's just showing her first true leaves.

Hey, just thought I'd do a quick update today since water was running low in tent #1 I had to make a new mix

pic 1 - all the nutrients on show some are empty heh.

pic 2 - these are the nutrients I'll be using today starting from left to right: PH down, BudXL , Hygrozyme, Vitalink Biopac and then theres the Vitalink Bloom A+B

pic 3 - Firstly I need to get the remainding water out the aero unit using a pump

pic 4 - After adding 50gallons to the barrell and mixing in the nutes and everything I pump all the new water back into the unit

pic 5 - nice thick stems

pic6 - a lower view to guage how tall they are , there mostly bushy and not hugely tall yet

I didn't use my nute wand since I've returned it back to the store as its faulty and i'm awaiting my new one, should come in the next days

Nothing else new to report, no buds forming yet just hairs, So thats all for this update during week#3 of tent1 flowering

Hope you enjoyed! more coming soon.

Hey, question. Is your Amnesia Lemon looking like it's going to be really tall? My setup doesn't allow me to let it get more than 18-20". I'm gonna LST the fuck outta it but I just want to know if you think it'll be a huge plant.

best,

Its hard to tell yet, at the minute I'm cutting back Ak47 leafs to try and maximize the light the Amnesia is getting since the Ak's are kinda outgrowing them, but only 1 Amnesia lemon seems to be doing well, the other 2 don't look as strong but in another week i'll have a better answer for you, I hope

I wonder if the AK is outgrowing everything else because its genetics are such that it's a very stable strain. Amnesia Lemon is a really new variety--I bet within one batch of seeds from a mother one could get Indica and Sativa-dominant plants. I hope mine's Sativa because I already have a White Dwarf going that is highly Indica-dominant--gotta get the party and the bedtime smokes

Hey, sorry for no recent updates, been rather busy and just recently got back from a week and a half long holiday been busy today refilling the tanks and trimming/managing the plants. and finally tonight managed to snap some pictures of the ladies

seems theres been alot of change since i last uploaded anything at the minute one tent is flourishing but the other is kinda ruined, it appears that somwhere during my holiday the pump got blocked and the roots have not been receiving water and have therefore had no growth and are possibly dieing, not sure yet as you will see from the pics they've been heavily stressed and even if left may take a few weeks to recover and start doing anything again the amnesia lemon stragely has not even shown a single sign of flowering yet despite this being week #8 starting today but has outgrown the ak47 in height,but.. i'm figuring since i've got about 1 1/2 weeks left on tent #1 i'll just count tent #2 a loss take some amnesia clones and cut it down in the coming week along with the other and start anew but anyway onto the good stuff
