First Indoor Grow - Aeroponics/T5 Fluorescents

[Pinkfloydfan1973]

Got some calibration solutions 4.01 and 7.01...some probe cleaning and storage solutions... My suspicions were well founded... My ph was reading 1.7 high so I was overdosing with PH DOWN... my Res ph was at around 4.9 so I added some fresh water to bring it up to around 5.8.... I've gotta say I feel MUCH better about checking my PH now.... I'd advise anybody to invest in the proper maintenance of their equipment, simply for peace of mind. :thumbsup:

Well 4 days after I corrected my Ph problem I'd say things look great... The plants appear really healthy. Here's some pictures... they've grown maybe 3-4 in the last 6 days... Awesome...

Oh, and Happy Veteran's day to all my fellow vets.

So I finally had some time to grab the things I needed to make myself a bubbler... So I did.. and took some clones off my larger plant... Eight in total... and I topped it as well to equalize the heights between the two plants... partly because the 4 ft fixture was tilted at such an angle... it bothered me... So it's level again...

The bubbler is a simple 3 gallon rubbermaid tub that's got 2 twelve inch airstones in it... The top has (12) 3/4 inch holes in the top plugged with rapidgrow superplugs, trimmed down to meet my needs.. the nutrient solution is superthrive only, but the cuttings got a thorough coat of rootech before being plunged through the plugs...and after as well...The pump doesn't perform as well as I'd like. But, with it running, the bottom side of the top is thoroughly wet, so I'd say it'll do...

Pictures are;

1. My 50 gallon aquarium that's on loan from my fungus factory... with the recently purchased 2 lamp t8 fixture atop...
2. The clones...
3. The donor, post-op.
