Hey All,

Been a while since I started a thread so here goes..

I switched to aeroponics earlier in the year and finally feel like I'm getting it dialed in on a more consistent basis. I'd like to get a thread going to talk about what has been working and what didn't. From an experience level, I'm into cultivation for about 2.5 years now and relatively anal about doing things accurately when it comes to mixing nutrients and water.

My approach to aero is fairly simple; I used the HT article and grow on another board claiming to produce 1 pound every 3 weeks for the basis of my design.. Where I take exception is the dude who wrote the HT article (same guy on the thread too, I believe) claimed he was hitting the plants at 3000 ppm!! Totally unnecessary and a waste of nutrients.

Process is basic: Mom -> Cuts -> Clone Bucket -> 3" Net Pot (or to a new mom in dirt) -> Veg System -> Flower System -> Harvest. Repeat Often.

Regenerate your mothers when needed.

Keep some plants in dirt/soilless mix until you get really good at growing using areoponics, because when something goes south, it can happen fast.

Nutes - I like them on the weaker side and generally use the following:

Clone Bucket - 400 ppm bloom, ph 6.0 - 6.3, keep water at 75 deg. spray 24x7, will get me great roots in 2 weeks.

Veg Sys: 500 - 700 ppm, ph 5.5 - 5.8
Flower Sys: 600 - 900 ppm, ph 5.5 - 5.8

I swap reservoirs every 4-6 days.

I know a lot of people out there like to "super crop" and do a shit load of plants, flowering them quickly. Not my thing. I like vegging for 3-5 weeks dependent on how healthy the roots on the cuts are. This has changed my schedule a bit, where I try to do a harvest monthly, either 1 or 2 systems (each having 6 plants).. Believe me, when it's working right with no issues this will produce quite a bit.

Here's a few pics.. The bud shot is from a plant in soilless mix that kept me in bud after loosing a system to root rot during hot weather.
