Cherry Gar See Ya Aeroponic

Seeing nice growth on both. The smaller one was a 2 days later to germinate, and took some nursing to get established as a hardened seedling. It likely will not reach the potential of the other, but should still yield plenty of bud. I will be topping the bigger one this week for sure. Will update. Replaced the pump for the smaller plant, it was using a 480gph before and now it is 850gph. As hydroguard is not available in my state, I had opted for FF microbe brew... For the first 2 weeks I had brown slime in my rez, on my submerged hoses, in my pumps, sprayers, etc. I believe this was from the FF. I have read somewhere before that using organic products in hydro can cause precipitate to form in the water, and sure enough the FF has worm castings, bat guano, etc. What I have replaced it with is Southern Ag Garden Friendly Fungicide. Available easily through Amazon. It has bacillus (the same type found in hydroguard) and is extremely concentrated. Sterling reviews and hydro safe from everything I've read, and is supposed to be a great preventative for root rot. Update: I defoliated the bottom leaves and branches at the first node, as they were touching the sub and those branches wouldn't amount to much come harvest time. The plants both dropped for a little while after (man they are sensitive) but perked back up after a while. I also added an oscillating fan. It is a bit powerful for this stage, so I have my exhaust fan running full time and the oscillating is on the timer with the pumps so they get a nice breeze every few mins. Wednesday update: I topped the tall girl today! It doesn't seem to have stressed it much thankfully. The smaller one is making good progress and will probably be getting topped as well in a few days. The new bacteria supplement seems to be working well, pH has been stable, and growth has been excellent. Sunday update: still seeing daily growth, now the smaller one is really starting to get bigger thankfully. Both have been topped from 7th to 5th, and both seem to have taken to it very well. I can definitely say that the brown slime was caused by the FF microbe brew. Since switching to southern Ag my rez has been nice and clean. Probably will veg for another week then flip.
