first off man that is some fine lookin work youve done man!!!! i would like to ask u a few questions if you have the time. i have been using an aero 30. my first shot was a dud but i am a determined soul and i will press on. root rot got me but i am now on a hydroguard and hygrozyme regiment and i think this will cure my problems. my questions are as follows;1 ph--- check and adjust every day or set and allow to fluctuate,2 water depth adjustments-- when bambinos go in should level be at the bottom of net cups or just set to about a inch or so in the bottom of flow chambers and leave there, 3 pump--- 24/7 or only when lights are on with a 15 min kick on ever 4 hrs in the dark??? these questions my seem stupid to you all but i have always operated under the assumption that the only stupid question is one unasked. this is my 3rd grow and the 1st with the aero.(euro grower the other 2)

Whew! Fuckin right. OK, lets go slow.
The Hydroguard will help your root rot probs for sure. The Hygrozyme will help with uptake of nutrients. With the Hydroguard, you just have to be careful it isnt killing any beneficial bacteria. Just ask your grow store guy or call your nute providers and ask em.
PH. CHECK EVERY DAY. For real important. Set the Ph everyday or your plants won't uptake the correct nutrients. I top off everyday with half strength nute solution until I have replaced all original nutes w half strength, usually 1 week, and then replace with the next week's feeding regiment. If you don't already, jump up and grab an EC/PPM pen to work w your Ph pen.
Water depths. Start the water level at halfway down the cups in the sites. As the roots hang down more, drop the water level until it is at the lowest. At this time, the roots should be able to touch the bottom of the post.
Pump. always 24/7 with aero or your roots will die or rot.
And yes, NO STUPID QUESTIONS, only stupid people, and fuckin lots of em. All good questions. I struggled forever until I found this board where I got lots of answers and help. Put up a grow journal! Aero growers are few and far between, and I would def love to see it!
Just some thoughts on your rundown.
rainforest cloner - sell it. you don't need anything except for grodan cubes and water
T-5 mothers - love it!
low humid...... it'll go up w the plants anyway
I would either go with the GH setup, or the Advanced Nutrients. not both.
I think flora nova is organic. But you are using non organic with it.
If you like like Advanced Nutes, go and check their website, and always check out urbangrower.com for advanced nutes grow tips!!!!
