Awesome job man   Hope your aero experiment goes well.  Going hempy has definitely got me a lot more interested in hydro.  Once I get a bigger room I'll be able to set up a nice hydro system.

haha that's exactly how it is hempy was SO much better than any other method I had tried, I just can't help but step it up a bit. I'm going to grow some hempys alongside the aero this round and really see how they stack up.

God fuck me....


Ok, so I noticed some brown spots inside the channels and realized I had some algae growth. my first grow ever was a DWC that resulted in 3 of my 4 plants dying due to algae, so I don't fuck around anymore and immediately went on the offensive.

I disassembled EVERYTHING in the entire setup and even went as far as using a Q-tip to scrub the inside of the water lines and I bought new sprayer heads to replace the old algae covered old ones. I used a solution of physan20 and good 'ol H2O2 and a green scrubby to completely scour the inside of the tub, the inside of the channels, and then ran the solution through the system (without plants) for 2 hours to disinfect the internals of my pump as well. I also (and I hope this didn't do more harm than good) took the plants out of the net pots and soaked the hydroton in the same solution and a much more dilute solution for the roots of the plants. the plants were very recently transplanted so they hadn't really grown into the hydroton much, but there was definitely some snotty goop on the plugs and the roots so I think this was worth it even if it's gonna shock them.

And then I did one more crazy thing. I was thinking about the algae and where it came from and I realized that this design allowed way too much light into the reservoir.



So after way too much work and engineering I now have this;



thoughts?

Mr ballsach they are looking just fine to me buddy. I think its just a change of environment that they are getting use to. I highly doubt its any disease. Those plants in your sig are sick man..... I could only wish

thanks for the input friz. my plan has basically been waiting it out on those bitches for the last month, so why not another couple weeks?

and I think you're going to get closer to plants like that than you realize if you keep the temps at a reasonable level in your closet

Oh, and get some of these;


Humboldt Nutrients Gravity and PurpleMaxx (or snowstorm ultra I think is the new name for purplemaxx).

if you google Humboldt gravity and click images pictures #7 and #8 are mine
