I have this love/hate relationship with plants in general. They hate me and I love them to death...literally. Every plant I've owned or cared for has committed suicide. So when the idea of treating Bipolar with Marijuana hit the fan, I had to give growing a try. But soil, for the love of god, we just don't agree on things. This lack of a green thumb propelled me to venture forth with my science thumb. She burns bright like Tesla so I decided to roll with a NASA-inspired, high-pressure aeroponic system. But I also wanted something that could do it all: seedling/clones, mothers, veg/flower. So this is what I came up with....
Storage Cabinet (20.6 x 29.1 x 71.1 inches)
10 & 14 Gallon Roughneck Totes by Rubbermaid
2" Net Pots with Neoprene Pucks

1/2" Clear Tubing
Inline T-Strainer with 15 Micron SS Filter Screen
Aquatec 8800 RO Booster Pump
Tank Pressure Shut Off Switch (80PSI)
Zen-Tek Glycerin Filled Pressure Gauge (160PSI)
Watts Pressure Relief Valve (50-175PSI)
SHURflo Accumulator Tank
110/220VAC Electric Solenoid Valve
Belkin 8 Outlet Pivot Surge Protector
2x Hydrofarm 7-Day Digital Timers
C.A.P. ART-DNE Adjustable Interval Timer
2x AC Infinity 120 mm Quiet Cabinet Fan (1200 RPM 52 CFM 23 Dba)
3x AC Infinity 80 mm Quiet Cabinet Fan (1000RPM 26 CFM 22Dba)
4x 120 mm Aluminum Fan Filter
Marineland Black Diamond Activated Carbon

Eva-Dry E-500 Mini Dehumidifier
Rope Ratchet w/Metal Gears
Growbright T5 2 ft 4 Lamp (8k Lumens)
AgroMax Grow (6.5k) and Bloom (3k) bulbs
Mondi 7" Greenhouse & Thermo-Hygrometer
Plastic "Shot" Cups
CocoCoir
4x 4" Bonsai Training Pot
Botanicare KIND Base, Grow, and Bloom Nutrients
Botanicare Pure Blend Tea Supplement
Earthjuice Double Down Ph Adjuster
Estimated Nutrient PPM breakdown
-Seedling — 300 PPMS
-Vegging — 400-600
-Transition — 600
-Flowering — 700-900
Water Reservoir 5.8-6.2 pH
Accumulator Tank at 50-80psi
Watering schedule — 1 second on/30 minutes off
Temperature — 82 Lights on/72 Lights off
Humidity — 60% Veg/30% Flower
Employing the supercropping technique
Currently, they are on day 38 of flowering, after 6 weeks of veg.
From seedling to transition, the nute ppms worked great. But as soon as they were into flowering mode and I'd upped the nutes, they showed a lil scorch action on the leaf tips. Nothing major but I'll be lowering them.
