My Homemade Aero 600W CFL Grow

lol trapper.....

basinlat I have a 375 gph pump, and it is way more volume per hour than is needed for the 5 sprayers. The reason I got the larger pump is because they provide higher water pressure so that I get more of a mist than a spray. I really don't know about your nutes. I don't see why they would clog unless there is a lot of particles in your nutes. I heard organics will do that, but I don't know about technaflora. I didn't think the leaves tasted all that bad though. Probably cuz I washed it down with a coke.

I'm gonna do pictures tomorrow. It took a lot of time getting everything moved to the new grow room and hooked up.

Does anyone know of a good way to make a watertight seal between the rez and lid. I really can't afford to leak ANY water now. I was using that weather strip but it doesn't work all that well.

I've got one new picture of the largest plant when I was moving the aero system yesterday and had it removed.

if you have those sprayers then it doesnt matter your water level because the sprayers always wetting down the roots is that right.

Yes, but the roots go crazy when they hit the water. I suppose its from the oxygen. They spread out sideways and get really bushy, so its good to have the water level up.

You could get some caulk but if its a bad leak it will be hard to let it seal while leaking.

Ya its the oxygen that makes aero faster. The more of a mist you have the more you get from it.

Is that bagseed you have there? I grew a bagseed and it came out very bushy like yours.

Did you get any good buds from that seed?

I fixed it temporarily. Thick strips of weather seal and ducktape all around to hold the lid tight. I was gonna try caulk but I want to be able to remove the lid and I think it would create a mess.

I also planted some salvia divinorum (blosser strain) in the remaining slots. They don't look so healthy. I think my new grow area is way to hot it has to be over a hundred with the lights on, but the rez is cooler don't worry. The pot is looking good though.

Question, will the plants
stretch alot when the start to flower? They are getting tall!!

And I just took some pictures. Are those little spiky things (pistils?) any indication of sex in the first picture?

no soon either pods (balls) will come out of those or a little green pod will open and have white pistils.

My bagseed thats exactly the same lookin as your didnt strectch much at all. Got a little higher but didnt stretch. My pics are too big to post on here and didnt figure out how to make them smaller. Mine just started flushing yesterday. So in 2 weeks i will be cuttin down. The buds look beautiful. My plant also went in to flowering automatically after a month. I bet your will too. Did they already go into 12/12?

Where you get salvia seeds?

You got alot of fans right. If the temps on the plants are over 100 degrees, your plants are gonna die. You gotta get lots of fans and try do something to make it cooler. Some strains are made to deal with weather good but you got to find them.

Check out my log. Only got to there (wasnt budding yet) and couldnt get pics on anymore.https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journal...rst-heads.html

I did move the lights further from the plants so maybe thats why they are stretching. I did check out your grow and I hope mine turn out as nice as yours up to the point where you stopped taking pix. I have a fan blowing acoss the plants, but they don't seem to mind the heat. As long as the rez is cold. I have the rez temps around 65F using the copper coil thing that I said about earlier it works beautifully. They have been on 12/12 since 8/3 so I hope I'm seing hairs soon.

The salvia was bought on ebay and they are clones not seed. Seed is very hard to find.

Hey does this look like balls to you?




Here you can see how much their growing upward......




And another pic of the top of the largest plant......

sorry dude...hes got nuts...

Crap.... I did guess in the beginning of this grow that this one was male. The plant looked so much different. I'm gonna go get the chainsaw out. lol

At least the others are showing no signs of balls yet.

damn thats heartbreaking

my plants that have turned dude all looked so much better, bigger, and healthier than the girls did. They always showed sex first too.

good luck!

Well so far I have one male and one female....Check out the pics.

congratulations

Its been awhile but I've been pretty busy lately moving and stuff...

BTW I turned up with 2 females and 1 male and here are some pictures the first ones are from a couple of days ago and the last are from today. Sorry about the out of focusness of the pics for some reason my camera doesn't like to focus on what I want it to.

if you are still flowering in the hydro system how is it gona support it when they get bigger and heavier?
where are you going to transplant them to?

Well this grow is over. I finally ran out of space, and it was a little difficult trying to take care of plants when I was 1.5hrs away.

Turns out the one was a hermie...or at least from what I could tell. The shemale got little clusters of pods along with pistils but when I cut them down there was some powdery stuff (pollen) that came out of them.

Anyway I feel really bad whacking them early but it was too much of a pain is my ass. Thanks everyone for the support during this grow.

I can't wait until I get the next one started

hey monkey do you have like AIM or MSN to talk to you over,
i am intrested in making my own hydro system and do not know where to start.
i was wondering of you can help me because your set up looks pretty suffecient.


thanks
