aeroponic grow

opie, the only thing with these systems is that there is a interinal flow system delivering a steady stream of water to the media, inside there is basically impossable to fix/clean at this point, and if thats not cleaned/killed it will just spread every day

the only way of cleaning would be to
1 disassemble, but not possable with the plants in there
2 flush it out using the pump to circulate harsh cleaner through it, also not possable wit plants in there

This is why my thought was to jump to full strenth peroxide to kill it asap, because with my mold expirence, if you dont kill it quick it wont go down easy. (my last grow i ended up chopping due to mold, when i was cutting it down the whole main shoot was filled with mold, it basically infested the whole plant and reasonably quickly)

word, you got me thinking i need an avi

stewie's the shit

Why do you have to disassemble it to run an antifungal through it? Is it 100% clogged or something? I don't know if I would feel safe letting my plants eat full strength H2O2. You say it's not possible to flush it out using the pump to circulate a harsh cleaner. Well I agree, but why can't you circulate an organic antifungal? What am I not understanding here? I'm not saying you're wrong, I don't even have an Aerogarden. I just don't get it. If it were me, I would be spraying an antifungal on top, and circulating an antifungal underneath (if possible).

Mr. snotty, uh I mean word sandwich, if there is more than one outlet in the line for the pump, is there some way you could make several, or at least an extra one, flow through one opening? Could you make a T or Y in the line, and force two into one delivery system? I'm thinking the extra pressure could help blow the snot out better? Am I making any sense at all?

Well I hope you and jimmy get it figured out and make it a nice learning aid for all who use the garden. I hope you don't think I'm butting in and talking about things I don't know about. I just have always been interested in what the Aerogarden could do if the gardener did things just right and squeezed the maximum capabilities out of it. I'm assuming each grow will get better and better. I must say there's a lot of weird shit involved in these gardens from what I can tell so far. Maybe some day soon I'll see an incredible success story derived from a KISS Aerogarden grow. And I'm rambling.

Hmmm, never changed my AV, now you guys are tempting me. So many possibilities. What should I be? Cow, dog, moon, brain matter, weed leaf?

Here ya go, man...

YEAH!! :S2:

How's this for an avatar?? i think it fits nicely..although i gotta admit stewie is a good one..

opie do you think i should add an antifungal right away or see how the hydrogen peroxide does for a few days before I do anything else? i mean, hydrogen peroxide is an antifungal but obviously it's not made for hydroponic gardening systems, i think i may be better off with something that is..

good idea too opie...i am going to try to plug some of the openings that do not have plants in them to get more pressure through the other ones...i think that will help

yes rhizome....The French Kissinger

opie you need to seriously consider this as an avatar....it's a big move

rhizomes avi disturbed me deeply,

but opie im just saying, that if there is some mold or what ever it may be left in the tubes it leaves chance to spread, i only say this because with my last system (in that yo stinky thread) the last 2 weeks it had plants every day of the it had peroxide running through and the mold seemed to comback, im more saying as a precaution (the tubes run though the lid of the system and are completely hidden and have spots where the water dosent hit often (little crevests) where mold could be) my bad it was just a thought but w/e

OH AND THE WEED LEAF IS DEFF PLAYED OUT, AND WORD THAT DEFF FITS THE SITUATION

opie if you want something weed related here a couple thoughts:
