    Yo yo,
     
    sap sap, aaam, just got a Aeroflo 28 system from General Hydroponics few weeks ago, and while I was on the forum all the time searching for usefull stuff, I mean this forum is heaven, I figure out, that I might put some work here too.
     
    So my setup:
     
    400W HPS;
    GHE Aeroflo 28;
    2x 100W Air Cooler;
     
    Nutriens & Additives (GHE):
     
    FloraGrow;
    FloraMicro;
    FloraMicroHardwater;
    FloraBloom;
    BioBloom;
    DiamondNectar;
    MineralMagic;
    Ripen;
     
    I also have some GHE pH Down & FloraKleen.
     
    .................................................................
     
     
    Not sure about all, maybe some of it isn't neccesary, but had a good deal on those, so why not.
     
    My girls are 26 days old and they are 11th day in the Flowering cycle if Im not wrong, Im kind a high, so not sure, but I give them some good water with pH from 5.8 - 6.1 all day & all night long.
     
    ok text is booooring as a mofo, let's see some pix

    I run 60L ressy
     
    EC: 1,75
    pH: 6.0
     
    I use pH meter & EC meter.
     
    Water temp is from 20-22C at night 20-24C thru day.
    Room temp is from 18-20C at night to 23-28C thru day.

  4. nice setup! i just ordered a 10 site aero setup, cant wait for it to come in.
     
  5. Had no chance to use other system, than aeroflo, but I must say, it's pretty good. My ladies are growing like crazy, should a add one more 400W light, cause they're not getting enought light on the sides.
     
    See some pics from the end of 2nd week of flower.
     
    Budz're starting to show, and ladies are getting sticky ikki.

  6. & some pics from today, just added some water & nutriens, EC is at 1.85 pH at 5.8.
     
    Nutriens & additives from GHE only. For nutriens Flora Series.
    I Used Diamond Nectar until the first week of flower.
    Also BioBloom for better activation since first week of flower too.
    Some other additives like Mineral Magic I will use all the way thru the flowering.
     
    Every week I flush the system with Florakleen for few hours & then I mix the fresh nutriens with fresh water.
     
    Had no pH fluctulations thru the growing period.
     
    Today is 3rd day of 3rd week of flower & my girls are looking better & better everyday.

  7. Also did some major trimming & super cropping yesterday, so it doesnt look like a big bush, light's penetrating better thru cannape & budz are getting more light too.
     
    FYI - I am using this formula [found it on this forum I think, not sure now]
     
    So OK - feeding schedule week by week. This is the GH weekly feeding program, slightly tweaked. I will only call out the volume of each part per gallon of water in the following manner: grow, micro, bloom, ppm range. Example - 5-2.5-2.5-400/800 would mean 5 ml grow, 2.5 ml micro, 2.5 ml bloom and a ppm of 400-880. Remember it's per gallon.
     
    Veg
    week 1 5-2.5-2.5-400/600
    week 2 10-5-3- 600/800
    week 3 12-6-3 800/1000 (continue week 3 formula if additional veg time is required.)
    1Gal 3.79L ,, my res 15Gal.
    Bloom
    week 1 6-6-10- 800/1200
    week 2 3-7-12 - 1000/1400
    week 3 3-8-14 - 1000/1400
    week 4 3-8-16 - 1000/1400
    week 5 (discussed in detail below*)
    week 6 0-7-20 - 1000/1400
    week 7 0-6-20
    * During week 5 if not using a booster like Superbud, Bushmaster Kabloom etc. run 2.5-7-18. I use MOAB (Mother of All Blooms) or BushMaster at 50% of recommended strength, and use 1.25-3.5-9 for the fert base.

  8. Ok guys & girls,
     
    me and my ladies are looking good, smelling good. Just added some nutrients and Mineral Magic today.
     
    my EC is at 2.0, PPM 1000 & pH 5.8
     
    ............................
     
     
    Is anyone using the Mineral Magic as well? And what about the BioBloom, is it helping the budz that much? Sh*t is pretty expensive. I would like to get some feedback on it. 
     
    ............................
     
    and now few pics from todays morning 4th day of 3rd week of flower:

  10. Watch the leaf tips closely those ppms may get to high in aero. If you see the tips start to yellow cut back on nutes.
    Have been running aero for a while and I run 500 ppm max, as nutrients are taken out just add back a small amount
    at a time.
     
    Thats a lot of additives for mine i use dutch master gold flower a and b, gh floralicious flavor enchacer, gh dry koolbloom, and
    thats it with great results. Gl OG
     
  11. Thanks for the feedback,
     
    Some updates:
     
    Today is the 27th day of the flowering period, I added 1 CFL 125W light, because my ladies did not get enough light penetration. I know, that it's not that good as HPS, but I have no HPS around.
     
    EC 2.0
    pH 5.7
     
    I do not see any burning caused by nutrients.
     
    few pictures:

  12. More:
     
    Ok little talk. I am using the GHE BioBloom activator as a only additive thru the blooming cycle. 
    Don't know if it's working properly [1st time], but sh*t is pretty expensive so it better be working muhehehee.
     
    Anyways I grow Jack Herer & Big Bang. Ladies 'r looking great & smelling excellent (just a beginning), the Big Bang smells fruity, kind a melonish smell.

    I see many things, that I did wrong as I go thru the grow. Will mention some later & will work on improving the next Grow.

  13. Ok,
     
    Day 32 of flower.
    EC 2.5 (1200PPM)
    pH 5.7
     
    Jack Herer & Big Bang
     
    Buds'r getting pretty dance, got some fat ones, can't wait. Ladies smells amazing. Fruity.
     
     
    I finished the GHE BioBloom today. & toped up the EC from 1.9 to 2.5 [ 1200PPM ]. Might add some nuts tmrw, could be up to 1500PPM.
     
    Some trimming was done today also.
     
    Let's see some buds.

  14. I run 1200 ppm now, why do you run so low? I use the GHE Flora nuts, I am giving them as much as I can, still can go up to 1500 pmm now. 
    Maybe for some systems it's ok, not sure what u have & use.
     
    Seesomebuds soon
     
  15. CL, I use a home built system but pretty much the same. Running at low ppms with nutrient and ro water
    addbacks helps to keep the ph from doing extreme jumps makes the ph very stable.

    Do you notice your ppm's rising at these high levels? I did when I first started hydro this way and the
    ph jumped extremely. If the ppms are rising the plants are just using more water than nutrients so what a
    way to sell nutrients. Also I use gh liquid bloom floralicious and gh powder koolbloom in flower as boosters. Running lower ppm's allows me to add the products inbetween my 2 week res change schecule.

    You grow looks great, GL OG
     
  16. Thx for the tip, very useful. Yes I did noticed that, just added more water into res.
     
    My pH is at constant 5.8 - 6, with no jumps or what so ever. After flush I only add tap water [pH 7.5] into res., mix the nutrients, let it run for few hours and pH is at req. 5.5-6.5 level for hydro. GHE Flora Series. Then pH down or up if neccesary.
     
    No pH jumps in your life anymore yo. 
     
    ..................................................................................
     
    Back to me 
     
    buds are growing like crazy (Aero<3)
    I run some around 1200PPM.
    pH 5.8
