Fire OG: High Pressure Aeroponics

[Ogiesel]

How's those roots? It's been 3 days since a pic I'm sure they've doubled in mass?

I'll snag a pic right now, they're taking off!!

 

[Ogiesel]

They're growing pretty damn fast now... Here's the root shots

They're all a nice bright white, they just look pink from my leds. After today I'm not going to take any more root shots during the day. Only low light shots from now on, can't take any chances.

Definitely have to try high pressure eventually. Amazing

I highly suggest it, its a lot easier than everyone thinks, as long as you take all the necessary precautions that is

Noticed the tops are starting to look a tad bit yellow this morning, I'm going to investigate the ph levels. If the ph is good, I may need to add some calmag . It's just kinda hard to tell the p.h. because I'm using those damn paper strip testers. I just need to buy another ph probe dammit, there goes another 50 clams does anyone know where to pick up cheap hp probes for the red HANNA. I can't remember the model number off the top of my head.

Here's what I mean when I say yellow

 

[Ogiesel]

The ph is somewhere between 6.0 and 6.5, I'm going to try to bring it down to in between 5.5 and 6.0

 

[Ogiesel]

I added a shit load of ph down and it's still in the 6.0 6.5 range lol I'm going to let it marinate for about 30 min then check it again

Hard to see the yellow with lights on. Hows the pH swing going now?

Just checked it and it's sitting somewhere between 5.5 and 6.0. I raised the lights a little bit too

 

[Tunkers]

Hard to get an exact reading with those bloody strips ay? Sounds like nothing to worry about though which is gooooooood

 

[Ogiesel]

I'll try to take a pic with the lights off so you can see what Im talking about. & yeah, the strips suck ass haha they only get a rough measurement.

 

[Ogiesel]

Well no pics with the lights off yet but I managed to snap a couple this morning

 

[Scrogdawg]

They're sure given'er now. Looking good Ogiesel.

 

[Tunkers]

Wowzers! They're shooting up quick!

 

[Ogiesel]

A little too quick lol

Todays photos, I'm going to a small trim down low probably sunday. Gotta prep em for the flip!
I also bought a small screen for them to grow through. FirSt time I've ever used a screen so we shall see how it works out, any tips/ pointers? Like , when I should start tucking them through it? My guess is around the flip but I have no idea haha

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Looking fantastic! Loving the HPA

 

[Scrogdawg]

Set the screen 8"-9" above the base of the plants and start tucking. Move them around as necessary to fill the screen and keep the canopy level. When the screen is about 70% full then flip to 12/12.

 

[Ogiesel]

So I'm way to late for the screen idea lol they're far too big now. I'll have to try it out some other grow. They look amazing right now, I'm getting them ready to flower.
I'm going to mix & add ten gallons of grow nutes tomorrow. They've been drinking quite a bit lately.

Taking a look back at today's weather in the tent we have range of 66 degrees at night and 90 degrees during peak hours. Humidity has been in the range of 41% to 66% Current temp and humidity is 84 degrees at 41%.
I'll upload pic's taken just now
