PW's First Attempt At Aeroponics & PS1000 LED

[Pennywise]

Yikes, we haven't broke 50 yet. Very cool spring but I like it

We have 2 seasons here, winter & summer lol

I have silver thiosulphate on the way and i have to wait for it before i can flip.

I'm not familiar with that, could you shed some light please?

 

[Pennywise]

Its a solution of silver nitrate and sodium thiosulphate. When you flip a plant to 12/12 females produce a hormone called ethylene that is nessessary for female flowers production. Silver thiosulphate inhibits ethylene production so any part of the plant that is treated will produce male pollen sacs. But being genetically female the plant only makes feminized seeds.

Perfect explanation.

Would that give the same end result as forcing a female to Hermie and then pollinating another female plant with the collected pollen?

 

[Pennywise]

Yes but the hermie produces "nanners" sts produces what appears to be actual staminate flowers (pollen sacs) hermies are the result of stress usually, sts is hormonal.

No cause you may end up with a hermaphrodite seed. The way penny is going is the best way to get fem seeds.

Plants are looking great cant wait to see when you pop some of the new seeds iwant to create fem seeds to sometime in the near future

 

[Scrogdawg]

Its not hard at all

 

[CaliBoy559]

Its not hard at all

It looks a bit complicated but i thinks just cause ive read about it and researched im more a hands on guy lol

 

[Pennywise]

Just mix the 2 chemicals then spray a branch or plant do it once or twice a week until pollen sacs appear.

Once I'm ready to order I'll post it here. Haven't decided yet.

Yes I am actually running Co2 from a tank, and regulator, I try to maintain 1200-1300 ppm but I use hand held monitor that my friend lets my use, mine will be ordered soon just need a paycheck or two

 

[bignugz420]

Are you using actual CO2 system or the homemade kind?

flow meter at 1.2 and its 8*10*7 currently soon to be 10*10*7

 

[bignugz420]

How long does a tank last you?

So far still on my first tank that only cost 25.00 bucks no down payment regulator was 200

 

[bignugz420]

How long does a tank last you?

It's only on a little bit each night 30 mins off 1.5 hours on and off during lights off

Ok im interested in using it for fkower.
