I removed three males and re positioned two females.

So I now have four females which is the right amount of plants for this size Aerospring.

The first pics are the male pollen sacks. The second two pics are the male roots and then the plants themselves.

The pic just after the root pics is a plant I think is a female, but I'm not convinced yet.

The plants look a little wilted cos I was bending and touching them before I took the pics.

I also topped the plants again tonight.

When I culled the males and repositioned one female I seem to have left some root matter in the res.... This is a huge problem for the misters.

I have cleaned the misters four times since this time yesterday. This morning I flushed the system and refilled with plane tap water, hoping to flush the remaining root matter out.

Then I went and refilled my RO water bottles, re-flushed the system and added RO water with nutes, and one mil H202...

The plants don't look too bad under the circumstances. I will have pics when the lights come on tonight.

The timer I had the MH light on seems to have gone bad. The light was still on this morning when it was supposed to be off. I hope this didn't push back the flowering time.

Am I right that you went to flower on Jan 18? I do not know but would expect a few days delay but no more than 28-18 or 10 days.

Yes I went lights out on the 18th.

The lights have been out for ten days. The plants are seventeen inches tall. They have grown seven inches in ten days, but I did top then two days ago.

The plants are looking good.

I dropped the Ph down to 5.5 last night. It is back up to 5.9 tonight. I will drop it back down tomorrow or the next day depending on how fast it continues to rise.

I am adding one ml of 35% H202 daily. I might increase this in the future.

I still have a little root matter in the res, but it isn't clogging the misters...yet. I might flush again soon.

Instead of having two timers for the lights, (dumb idea) I plugged both lights into a power strip and plugged the power strip into the timer. Which is what I should have done in the first place.

The system is working as it should except the tote leaks. I'm looking for a Rubbermade and will make the switch asap. I might finish this grow first. Haven't decided yet.

Have you ever thought about growing in the tubes? Might not have to contend with as many leaks.

Yes I've thought about it, but I haven't gotten into the construction. Plus I like the tote design.

Looking good Them!!!

I have a quick question(s) that has kind of been itching at me. I will start with the obvious observation of two rows of pots/nets. What I am interested in knowing is why the nets are close together (3" nets??) on each row, but each row seems to be fairly far apart? Is there a reason for this? Or rather why not just measure and dividing your space for each net evenly?


Thanks!
