First grow using Aquaponics

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to say hello to my fellow farmers and tokers. I've been a head for years so pardon me if the brain skips every once in a while.
Looking to learn more on how to grow my medicine indoors.
Working with what I've got on hand to start my grow.
I used to raise tropical fish so I have empty fish tanks all over my apartment.
So I put together a stand using cinder blocks and road ties to hold 2 55 gallon tanks.
Using the bottom tank for my grow. Taking black garbage bags to box in the tank.
So the cheapest and easiest way for me was going DWC Aquaponics with fish swimming around and fertilizing my plants.
The strains I am growing are: Swiss Cheese, Royal Dwarf, Wappa, Nebula, and Acid. All growing nicely.
Anyone else going Aquaponics?

sounds interesting. post some pics to let us see ur setup

My little nutrient growers

looks like your gonna have to figure out a way to raise ur lights for best results.

Or just lower the water, but I have 2 grow lights hanging in the middle too. I had to turn them off in order to take pictures.Then I moved them so you can see what is inside under the light hoods.

subbed, damn interested in this

When is the next update?

I may need to get down on something like this

Aquaponics is def. A great way to make a sustainable food source I don't see any reason you couldn't grow some erb.the fish put off nitrate- fish waste . My Q is : is that all your going to use to feed them ?

To feed the plant I meant !

from what I have read,you will have to supplement K and Fe for flowering type plants

Hey Guys, sorry for not posting for a while. 1st grow was good.
I made my own fertilizer using left over nori from rolling sushi. I cut up the nori into tiny pieces and put it in a bowl. I added some RO water to soften the nori and let it sit a couple days. Then I put it through a blender added some molasses and funneled it into a spray bottle topping off with tap water. Next batch I will add some Epson Salt, but everything worked out fine. The only problem I had was this dumb hippie burnout person me.
The plants started to flower and there I was jonsing for a buzz and I kept pulling leaves and drying them out and smoking them . Tasted and smelt great always giving me a heavy buzz. ok, so I'm smoking too much of the plants that they went back into vegging growing new leaves and looking really good again lots of colas produced. Pick, pick pick, went I again. Then I noticed that part of the plant hermied. I had bud flowers and flowers with pollen. I pull thoses 2 plants that hermied. pick pick pick. The other plant had beautiful smelling and tasting buds nice and tight no seeds great buzz. The other 2 plants were runts that are finally starting to flower now. Hey I'm growing this to catch a buzz and that's what has been happening. So this Aquaponic's is working out great for me. Starting next grow while the runts and the clones I cut are coming to flower. Trying to plant enough plants so I stop pick, pick picking these beautiful and wonderful plants and let them bud up.

here's a small tiny bud from the queen royal dwarf auto-fem. Love the smell and taste of this plant it's part skunk but smells and tastes like thai stick and sensimillon of the early 80's. Sweet, pungent, grassy. Sharp, cream in your jeans smelling and tasting weed. That we would have paid an arm or a leg for back then in the 80's. In my hometown they used to sell this in grams folded in piece of tin foil.
I lived in jersey and worked in new york.
