Six-Pack DWC/Dewey Mister Challenge

[video=youtube;VUXtzGduC9A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUXtzGduC9A[/video]

It's been a long time but some things never change:blsmoke:

Here is my current grow experimenting with hydroponic/aeroponic methods in a dual genetic, six plant grow reservoir. 4by4by6'7 tent, 1k MH veg + 1k HPS flower, plenty of airflow pulling heat off light and scrubbing/recirculating air in tent.

Genetics:
(3) Seedsman's White Widow clones roughly 75 days old
(3) Dinafem Blue Thai clones roughly 75 days old
They were started in coco then transferred into 3-inch net pots.

Nutrients:
Botanicare KIND- Base, Grow, Bloom + Silica Blast
Cutting Edge Sugaree introduced during flowering.

Techniques:
Put ten gallons of Week three grow formula nutrients into a large tote. Use the Dewey Misters to throw water into the net pots forcing the roots to grow towards a bubbling reservoir. FIM'ed, LST'ed, and defoliated them and will continue throughout the rest of veg. Mylar is placed over the top lid to reflect the penetrating light. The transition to flower will begin on April 1st.

Purpose:
Testing out a hydro/aero vineyard style grow. The premise is to have each plant produce maximum yield per/m^2.

Here is the six-pack reservoir being used. The three plants on the top row closest to the tent are the Blue Thai's.
The three plants on the bottom row closest to the camera are the White Widows.

Here is a reservoir shot of the churning water with roots hanging down. The green devices adhered to the bottom of the reservoir are the Dewey Misters.
These plants were transplanted from 16oz party cups with coco. Three weeks ago the roots were still in the net pots.

Here is a front show of the tent. In the foreground is a Blue Thai clone that was placed into 5 Gallon DWC with drip ring 75 days ago.
In the background, you can *kind of* see the stalks of the six-pack. A couple stalks are the size of a pencil and steadily swelling.

Here is a top shot of the 5 Gallon DWC Blue Thai. She will continue to be heavily defoliated for optimal flower and calyx production.

Approximately sixteen days of growth until flowering begins.

Hope you all enjoy the next 80 days as much as I will:mrgreen:
These soundgirls got me jumping, funking it up on the dancefloor!!
