Aquaponics-Success Story

[AquaponicHerb]

I am building a laboratory type setting for this grow. I have established the nitrogen cycle and constructing my first aquaponic grow beds.

I have ultimate control over everything on dials and displays. I have built a water processing station as well as an air processing station. I am running a sterile environment - all surfaces scrubbed with hydrogen peroxide plus hydroxyl radical flushes. My equipment was thoroughly cleaned from my last chemical grow and all new lavarock.

What are you growing this time? Are you going to use your sunrise/sunset emulation for this one?

[AquaponicHerb]

I am going to be seeking the "Blue Dream" genetics from the dispensary I have a close relationship with in Sonoma County. I would like to grow 2 Blue Dreams under 1000 watts for this Aquaponic Grow. I am going to try to hit 1 LB of dried product without killing the fish.

How is your setup coming along?

[GetThisOrDie]

Nice strain. Ive seen pictures of outdoor blue dream harvests in norcal with SOLID single colas that were at least 4-5ft in length and about as thick as a womans leg!

Should be a good choice for trying the 1lb mark indoors.

I am still cramped for space and trying to get these automatics done so I can have some medicine to last me while I experiment!

Check em out if you like. Id love some more feedback!

I still plan on trying your suck it bucket and also will be trying to come up with some sort of outdoor planter to hold multiple plants with a single watering source. Also need it to be mobile, possibly on casters.

The strains I plan on using next are Diesel, Blue Fruit, Blue Hash, Blue Mystic, and possibly Hashplant Haze.

I like blue...lol.

What are the odors like from the fish tanks and what not?

I like you outside pics as well... I can tell you have passion for growing things.

The odor is not really a problem. The main thing is not to let humidity build up or let the air stagnate. You want super ventilation so the odor cannot build up. Also mold management is key here, I use peroxide and I scrub surfaces regularly with sanitized paintbrushes and sponges. You also want tons of fans near the floor area; I have 4 mini 5" 110volt fans than I use for spot drying.

feeding fish. also modified a new venturi which i am using in mainline.

Update-

I have built fish tank #1. I am currently treating the water for chemicals and I am cycling bacteria. In 24-48 hours I will transplant the fish I have so far into here.

Featured is FISH TANK #1:

NOZZLE #1 : Venturi Micro Atomizer (<100 micron bubbles)
NOZZLE #2 : Venturi Crude Bubble Ejector (high air volume mix big bubbles)
NOZZLE #3 : Venturi Double Intake w/mainline fitting (3 venturi throats, highly adjustable)

Checked out some different fish species today and checked in with the dispensary for some strains. Still nothing that I want mostly "Kush" varieties.

Dude, you almost say 'Kush varieties' as though they were a bad thing...

[AquaponicHerb]

lol yea seriously. I love kush its actually my favorite medication (bubba kush) but I've already grown several types of kush and I am going for different strains.

[AquaponicHerb]

new lab pictures. I have establishment with high nitrates and low nitrites accordingly. I am running other benes and soil enhancers for added organic breakdown.

this is going to be a good grow i can just feel it

i have begun positive reinforcement training on my carp and they are responding slowly but surely. pretty soon they will let me pet them.
