Autos in Aircube system

[Driver77]

Current grow is at day 62 RQS autos....1 Mimosa takes up the right half of the tent....on the left are 2 Fat banana autos.
Using Jacks 321 for nutes
MH fc8000 with uv/ir addon bars for light.
I'll try to update till harvest and begin from seed on next auto grow.

Day 75....I harvested the tops off the Fat bananas on the left. The bottom buds can go another week or more....tops were harvested at day 73. I'll report back with dry harvest weight on them. The monster Mimosa has weeks to go yet.

What is your view of the AirCubes?

What is your view of the AirCubes?

First run with them and I'm very impressed. Hardest part was figuring out how deep and often to flood....once I got that down it was off to the races.

Do you think they perform better or much the same as deep water culture, SUPS (bottom feeding, such as AutoPots and AC Infinity wicking reservoirs), EarthBoxes, etc.?

I can only speak for this system, soil, and AC infinity wicks...the wicks work great and you can keep soil as a medium for terps. Again only my first try at hydro other than feeding through the wicks. This being the only pure hydro I've tried. I say hands down if yield is what your looking for this would be hard to beat from what I've seen. I do believe you give up terps in pure hydro and I will be looking into trying some things to help that in future grows. I'm sure genetics will play a huge role also in that some will perform better in hydro...the Mimosa is pretty gassy but the Fat banana has almost no smell at all....early tests seems like it did just fine on thc levels though lol.

Looking quickly at the Web site I didn't see it mentioned: How much soil/media do the cubes hold?

5 gal.....I would recommend coco or hydroton for medium...soil kind of defeats the purpose.
