Hello all. Just a quick intro. As per my forum name and thread title, I'm into aquaponics. Have had a system up and running for over four years but this is the first season for any MJ. Girlfriend is sick (chronic +10yrs and not getting better) so need to get a regular supply of medicine. Have purchased and been given RSO but can't really get any info about the strains used and it isn't a secure/regular hook up (and the purchased stuff is too expensive) so have decided to grow my own.
Now I know that people will say that aquaponics isn't great for growing MJ but I'm not an AP purist so have modified my setup slightly into something called dual root zone. A regular AP system gives great leafy growth, and then the dual root zone mod allows the application of additional nutrients (phosphorus, etc) that would usually mess with the fish/water quality.
I'm still going as organic as possible. Actually the only non-certified organic input is the fish food because it just isn't available here.
Got a few seeds sprouted and on their way and am waiting on a few more. Am hoping be to get some photos and a journal up in the near future.
Been growing veggies, etc for years so hopefully that knowledge can be used in the MJ grow.
