I will keep the 5 pages of story telling for myself and I'm going to be short and to the subject. I created an aeroponic system that allows you to grow your plants for their first few weeks and then move them unharmed and with no shock to any other aeroponic system or to any other medium you prefer. This way you can grow your clones(or seeds) for the first weeks of their life in a small space using only one light and then being able to transplant them into a bigger “production†system. Running the vegetating system in parallel with your main crop allows you to prepare the next crop. So by the time you will be cutting the colas, your next crop is already a few weeks old. That means that each crop takes a lot less time to grow. This is simple math and will use a graphic to explain(credits go to my gf for photoshopping skills). This graphic represents my setup, before the vegetating system and after it: *strain used: Critical from Royal Queen Seeds, selected mother.(flowering time is 49-50 days, low height) The outcome is obvious, instead of using the Aeroflo 60 for the entire flower cycle of 49-50 days I ended up using it for 28-29 days. So instead of getting 7.42 cycles/year I got 13 cycles/year. That is 75% more cycles per year. So no matter how much you are able to get out of your aeroponic system now, adding the vegetating system to your setup will increase your output by a lot, in my case 75%. This is no bs, you don't have to add a magical nutrient to your tank, you don't use special air shipped from the purest mountains and nothing like that, you simply get more crops/year. Technical details: Low Pressure Aeroponics 120cm x 120cm x 50cm 64 x 3†netpots 40L water tank 1 x 30-50W water pump I can't show you whats inside it, the technological details are patent pending so I don't want any big corporation to lay its paws on it. However I will show you some pics/videos with it: The idea is that now we have the possibility to keep the roots separated in a pure aeroponic setup. I know some of you don't use SCROG or SOG, people use their bubble buckets for example and they don't need to vegetate 64 plants in a square meter for 3-4 weeks, this system can be created to support 16-24 plants in one square meter for a longer period of time, 5-6 weeks or more. A site will be up soon and with your help I will be able to show a lot of great feedback to retailers everywhere. Please post your questions, requests, thoughts I would be most grateful to answer.
Sorry man but a fountain in a tub of water is less then magic. Who do you think you are bullshitting?
Questions: 1. It looks like your flowering cycle is not long enough to allow for fully developed buds, so how is it working in that regard? 2. How does the Areo 60 handle the increase in root ball size? Do the feeding tubes get restricted flow? 3. Are you sacrificing speed for quality? 4. Since your vegging in a separate system, do you run 12/12 or 18/6? I'm looking for a way to understand the process that seems to compromise mature bud formation......some things just take time. BB Great looking roots by the way.
I about to commence my aero sog perpetual. from what i can see its a net pot within a net pot. Don't think it'll go that big, but it is a step towards greater yields. Good luck with everything man. Wish i had the info for my own grow.
