Well, since I've got a few irons in the fire, I wanted to have one thread now dedicated to my grows. As some know, I grow for patients, not so much myself. I make tinctures from the big fan leaves that get trimmed (not the sugar trim, but just the big, seemingly useless leaves) to get me to sleep through the night. That stuff works wonders. Bye bye sleeping pills.

So, some shots:

My nutrient lineup

A couple clones of some deep chunk crosses (Krush and Blowfish)

The sprouts from my other thread will go in here soon. Fun times ahead as my patients are getting anxious for some meds from this system.
 
One thing I noticed when pulling the starts out of their rapid rooters to go into the small aero tote was the length of the tap roots. The Onyx tap roots were very, very short compared to the Sour60/Blue Streak tap roots. As in, the S60 tap roots were around 4cm after 9 days from putting them into the rooters. The Onyx ones were half that. What was on top, though, looks exactly the same. Pretty interesting, thought.
 
Some root pics for ya'll.


In this one you can see the major difference in the tap root length of the Sour60xBlue Streak (much longer) and the Onyx (not even through the cup). On the top, they're the same size.

And here's a HBD at just about 3 weeks inside the cloner. Getting some fresh nutrients today, and a much bigger light tomorrow.

That's interesting about the roots!

Love the setup mate. Nice and clean!

Yea, I thought it was super interesting. We'll see how things progress over the next few weeks.

And some pictures...

HBD from my aero setup:

Many autos in aero. Aerotos. :)

looking great bro
keep up the good work mate :)
 
So, one rez has been holding stead at 5.9ph for over a week without adding a thing. The other rez rises pretty quick as high as 7.4ph. This happens about a 12 hour time frame. The one that rises real fast has the seedlings in it, and has a much smaller amount nutrients in it (about 600ppm vs the other at around 1900ppm). Any ideas what might be causing this ph flux?
