Hello and welcome to my third journal here at 
I want to start by thanking all the great members here for all the help and encouragement they offered in my two previous journals
This journal will be of my second run in my DIY undercurrent/aeroponics system.
the system
two rainforest 66 aero/dwc units piped together using 2" pvc with a 27 gal controller res and a 15 gal top off res.
circulation pump - ECO264 , used inline. rated 290 gal/hr
water chiller - 1/10 hp
air pump - 120w pump feeding 8 inch round stone in controller res and 14" strip stone in top off res. , inlet drawing outside air.
system capacity is 50 gals with 15 gals in top off res.
normal operating capacity is 45 gals (where I like my water level)
top off res connected to controller with float valve to maintain water level in system.
lighting - Two Advanced leds DS200 , and One Advanced leds DS350XML . should be beta testing Advanced leds new Arc series light at which point I will add to the room.
total power consumption - 700w (without Arc series)
temps and humidity are controlled with a/c , heater , dehumidifier , humidifiers, controllers
air cleaners - 48" tower fan with negative ion generator, 27" carbon , hepa , and UVC light combo.
strain - 4 x CH9 JACK fem. , germinated 6 seeds and chose 4 , 5 out six germinated. end up with two fast growers and two that are behind some.
about three weeks veg time so far and the fast growers have been defoliated , topped and super cropped . each having 11 mains. will continue super cropping them till smaller plants catch up or reach first screen.
strain is listed as a 7 week strain , but I'm sure i'll let them go 8 weeks.
strain is a heavy feeder, ppms at 550 (500 scale) and will be raising to 650 in a couple of days with res change.
ph is stable between 5.7-5.9 , having the 45 gal res has helped a lot with ph stablitiy
started with Root Excel and heavy prime to build benny population in the beginning , but will be switching to sterile (DM ZONE) before flower cycle.
nutes will be HEAVY 16 line with Sweet raw , Protekt silicone, Calimagic , DM Zone. will stop using Heavy Prime before flower.
all questions or comments welcome
here's some pics from today , will post root pics later
some close ups of super cropping
res monitor taken just as lights turned off
