    Default Diy Aero-Hydro grow w/CFLs

    Back 2009 I had researched growing mmj using an aero-hydro grow system. I liked the concept of oxygenated fertizer, water and nutrients being sprayed onto the suspended roots of the plant. It's extra work maintaining an aero-hydro grow checking PH levels, PPM levels and fine tuning the nutes per say. I find that one can achieve great results growing aero-hydro imo..

    Thanks for stopping by. Yes, in fact I did. I use rubbermaid tote boxes. My 1st grow the totes were 32 inches long, 28 inches wide and 28 inches deep. This last grow, the grow-box was 40 inches long, 28 inches wide, but only 7 inches deep. My 1st grow the plants got huge due to a deep grow-box. So this grow I used a much shallower box or tote. Keep in mind that the roots are suspended inside the grow-box w/o any light, they must be in the dark....Search diy hydroponics and you'll find an aero-hydro diy step by step instructions. If you decide to grow this way, I'd be happy to help ya get started...thanks again

    Burping jars for an hour per day gets little old, but has greatly paid off. The Gold just got sweeter and sweeter, much more potent. The high is now more intense than ever, not to mention the sugar leaves trim made excellent hash oil, “honey oil”. Been using the oil, gonna try to make some more w/some of my 1st grow, indica dominate, it should kick ass as well...

    The Blue is simply awesome as well and smells like juicy fruit gum and taste like fresh blueberries. The nuggets are real hard. The buzz is even better than the gold. Both strains are simply awesome....Only problem I have w/both strains is they both keep me awake at nights, so I need to finish the day w/indica strain to sleep...find a balance so to speak...

    The re-vegging process is going very well. For a few days I had thought it would not take....but they all came around nicely, so another grow is on!!!! Photos soon..Btw what’s the best indica strain right now???

    amazing plants bro. So you used the small CFLs for those? like the 20 or 30 watt ones? or did you use those just to add extra light and had a 200 or 250watt mogul base CFL?

    I've always been interested in aero, the time involved would be good for me, I need a good productive hobby. I may have to take up this style of grow

    torxxx Hey thanks for the stop-by and comment......

    Actually I use nothing but spiral CFLs in my grows, no mogul base CFL. My closet is 4' x 3.5' x 9' or just under 12sqft. Right now I have 3 landrace colombian gold and a single blue widow in my 1st re-grow using 1290watts, 82,000 lumen of CFLs. The smaller 23watters I use for mixed spectrum, but I am also burning five 105watts, five 65watts, four 55watts, and four 42watts, w/ five sets of dual 23watters.... In flowering stage I move the CFLs each day....which really helps...

    Aero-hydro growing is awesome, your plants are always healthy, you can get Grade A bud each time, regardless of the extra effort to keep things balanced all the time, it's worth it....believe me...last harvest got 15 pint jars from these 4 plants, plan to exceed that w/this re-grow

    Let me know if and when you start your aero-hydro grow, would like to see how it works out for ya....thanks again
