AeroFlo 96

[Mr Smith]

This is a new grow setup for me. The room is still in its testing stage. I combined a aeroflo 36 to a aeroflo 60 for space saving.
These pics are from day 3 in flower. Clones are chocolate chunk that finishes in 7 weeks. (yes a 7 week flowering period)

The lighting is 4 600w hps. Heat might be a issue so I may be forced to cycle some of the lights.

Random pic of some of the equipment. Can 75 filter, 8in Elicient fan, 3 digi ballast and 1 old school magnetic ballast.

I hoped I sparked a interest and that you enjoy this testing of the new grow room. I was a ebbnflow grower for a few years but after playing with the aero 36 I saw its advantages right away.

Kewl, you still have those glass thingies on your roto chadelier. I'm gonna like this one- 7 weekers wit no veg. Proper SOG. Nice feedbags on your 'babies'. Nice goggles on your Eyes. Tubular. Run what you brung, Mr Smith. We're in for a treat! PG

[Mr Smith]

Thanks PG.
I forgot to mention that one of the endcaps on one of the rows started leaking and I had to move the plants onto one machine so I could recaulk the endcap with silicone and let dry for 24 hour.
Then on day four one of the new ballasts took a shit but temps in the room were perfect with 3 lamps running. I be getting this md hydro 600 digi exchanged as soon as I can and will be cycling the lights when needed.

Here are some pics for day 9. They have grown a little.

 

[Ms.Fox]

All I can say is... Wow! That's quite a set up ya have. Lookin forward to the grow. ;-)

 

[Mr Smith]

Thanks Ms. Fox. I appreciate it.
Here are some pics at day 15. The 1st pic is a rare one for me I got there right before the lights turned on. The next 2 pics are right when the lights turned on.

Don't they look healthy? Started a new generation of clones.

 

[LiveTour]

Very healthy indeed!!! Keep it up, and great set up!

 

[Mr Smith]

Thank you DeadTour. Here are 3 pics of day 16

That is very nice setup Mr. S I have been looking at the same setup for my indoor meds. Its a 60 can expandable to 120. with 40 gal tank. I was told I just beat the odds being 4yrs out from removal of tumor and 1/2+ of rt lung. Dang dirt just getting to heavy to be packin all the time...lol Good job on the room... moslowjj

 

[Propa Gator]

Bada Bing, I thought I caught the onset, but the fast forward is fast gratification. This is good propagation, next batch cut out already. This aint your first ride on the meds express, Mr Smith. Good luck with your leak, may you make the spread before the girls comingle their roots. PG

 

[Mr Smith]

Thank you. We are almost caught up to present day. These pics are from day 21.

 

[Mr Smith]

Its day 24. Temps and humidity is great. My only bitch is the ph keeps going low and I am used to the reverse. I have more ph up than I do ph down. They still look healthy.

 

[HazeSeeker]

They grow so quick ... keep them coming m8

[Mr Smith]

Thank you HazeSeeker.
Day 8 on the clones. we have Sage, white widow and ice. Left to right.

Not my best but I ran out of cloning solution so its a very week cloning mix plus I didn't take time to scrape the sides of the stems. (too lazy to look for a razorblade lol)

 

[Ms.Fox]

Nice, lookin good!

 

[Mr Smith]

I meant to update this sooner. These pics are from day 31. Ph fluctuation seems to be handled by a 2day flush with floraclean. One resevoir is still dropping its ph but not as fast. Flush is done half way thru the grow for maintenance of machines along with cleaning filters for the pumps. They look healthy.

Comparison to day 9.

Should be adding more clones monday. Figure we try perpetual for awhile.

 

[tgadfgadgf]

Looking good. What nute solution are you using for your plants? Are you using any Co2 for your set up?

 

[Mr Smith]

General Hydroponics tri-pack flower phase feed 50% nute mix with 8ml per gallon hygrozyme. I am gearing towards co2 but cant do the setup for now til winter when temps are more controlable.

 

[Propa Gator]

I too am curious about brand and concentration of 'noots'. Until now, I had thought your system was too pricey, but your buds are bumpin. Mr Smith, did you do a gig in the movies, like Matrix?

[Mr Smith]

The goal is to pull 1 to 1.5 pnds dry weight every 45 days. I dont know if I can do it but I will try in this thread for at least 5 groups of clones averaging 30 clones every 30 to 45 days. Just need to get things dialed in. I will be happy to answer any Qs about this project but for the most part I keep it simple. Ther are 4 600w lights but only 3 are used at a time cycling a light every 4 hrs to keep temp in check. This room is a hot spot in the house but its great in the winter. I already own the co2 stuff but it would be a waste the way I have to vent and cool the room for now.

My cousin Agent Smith was in the matrix. I am just a plain old dumpy every day John Smith lol.
