Growing Incredible probably an inch a day. She’s really drinking the water now. Hope get some really frost nug 💨 This one was popped from seed, I have other clones going aeroponics also. Glueberry OG, Banana Blaze, White Widow.. Comments welcome. Also check out my YouTube.com/MisterAeroponics 🔥🌱
You can see before I broke the branch how wide she is. I dont use coco or cups i use rockwool cubes then once big enough they suspend off lower branches and I move them around so they bush out drastically this helps a lot with reduced air flow because you build branches
Here’s some of my notes to help others-
Nitrogen and potassium need a
1:1 ratio on mothers
To increase Brix decrease nitrogen or increase potassium or make adjustments to both
Brix is the sap measurement of stored sugars in leaves which indicate the healthiness of plant by measuring sample from both bottom and top leaves
Nitrogen as nitrates during veg the higher the brix the faster the transition into flower will be
The plant uses sugars (energy) to process the nitrogen in veg when it needs to be stored in the leaves for flower. That’s Why nitrogen stays in lower end during veg then spoon feed after stretching first weeks in flower
Lack of sugars/starches will lead to roots not being able to absorb phosphorus
Phosphorus increase flowering sites but can also hinder terp production if too high
Molasses at end of flower makes plants uptake iron and is beneficial the iron increases chlorophyl and the chlorophyl increase photosynthesis..
Microbes can change amino acids to ammonium nitrate to nitrates for nitrogen uptake
Microbes eat first the rest goes to the plant
Excess nitrogen causes large cells with thin cell walls making susceptible to pests that suck nutrients from leaves
Calcium and silica increase cell wall density
Silica increases protective coating on leaves also, increases flowers, and stock strength
Amino acid glycen increases calcium ion channels and calcium is the glue holds cells walls together, promotes thick vascular system, better water flow equaling better nutrient and mineral intake
Microbes will make amino acids on the roots
Potassium takes starches and sugars to plants leaves from roots for storage and flower development
Potassium toxicity shows up as a magnesium deficiency
Cat ions + charge are calcium potassium and magnesium
Calcium in excess can cause a magnesium or phosphorus deficiency
Don’t flush your plants. Nature doesnt flush plants. Flushing reduces terps significantly, causes increased chlorophyl which tells the plants to veg again
Manganese creates the enzymes to help create terps
High humidity will cause a calcium deficiency
Calcium deficiency can cause a phosphorus deficiency
Organic nutrients arent ionically charges and cant be absorbed or detected by ppm meters via runoff until broken down by microbes into ionized forms via mineralization
Blue light spectum is responsible for chlorophyl production and growth. Also can be used to increase purple hues on genetically purple strains. Also increases stigmata production and CO2 intake
UV light causes plant to make antioxidants to help to protect themselves from the UV light increasing pigmentation and medicinal properties (thc cbd)
Photosynthesis and co2 intake at leaves create sugars that are
1 used for energy
2 stored in leaves for flower production later
3 used to transport phosphorus during flower and or to leave storage
4 leaked out of roots to soil to feed the micro bacteria in the soil
Cell division is highest in the middle of night so sugars are used in high amounts 24/7
Oxygen is absorbed via roots for respiration
When you overwater your plants the soil gets anaerobic and is susceptible to anaerobic fungi that grow in stagnant water with no oxygen
Oxygen is used to burn the stored sugars which are used to ionize nutrients and transport nutrients, low o2 will lead to nutritional lockouts as well
Organic nutrition needs to be ionized to be utilized via mineralization.. mineralized nutrients are readily available for plants to uptake
Phosphorus is the energy element it energizes rooting energizes flowering by converting it to ATP
Mono ammonium phosphate is idea in first 2 weeks of rooting
If a plant is deficient in a certain nutrient.. increase the nutrient by 30% then once signs of deficiency subside, keep the increase at only 15% thereafter. Or up to 2 increments of 15% then back to only 15% to be more cautious
When measuring your brix you want your line high as possible.. if the line is clear and straight it has only sugars, the line needs to be fuzzy meaning it contains minerals elements and enzymes with the sugars
The lower the nutrients in soil the more veg growth youll get to an extent
Clones humidity 90-98% until rooted. Low nutrient mix 1/4 strength with little extra phosphorus. Plant will absorb 65% percent of phosphorus storage in first couple weeks
Rooting tempature 68-75 too low get lockouts too high 78 and up the less dissolved oxygen the water will hold leading to unhealthy roots and root rot. Oxygen is crucial for the plants metabolism
Zinc helps create auxins which are rooting hormones
Microbes eat b vitamins
Seaweed extract has natural rooting hormones
Mycorrhizae should only be used for phosphorus uptake, to unlock phosphorus.. if there is an abundance of phosphorus the mycorrhizae is actually like a pathogen consuming 20-30 percent of photosynthates produced during photosynthesis
Silica works along with calcium to strengthen stems and leaves.. plants able to transport silica to infected area and crystalize around the area stopping the infection of mildew.. silica is ph neutral and increase beneficial bacteria in the rhizosphere.. Silica is sponge-ant and able to capture and hold minerals and nutrients for microbes and plant to take up
Yucca is good for a wetting agent also good for flushing. Helps bio stimulates spread out to root hairs
Iron helps increase thc and increase enzyme production
Potassium helps make sugars, helps release sugar, and helps store sugars
Magnesium is central element to produce chlorophyl
An excess of potassium will show up as a magnesium deficiency
PH is determined by the amount of protons in the form of hydrogen ions.. The higher the hydrogen ions are in the soil or medium the lower the PH will be.. The presence of the charged hydrogen ions releases nutrients and minerals from soil particles to be absorbed by the roots ion channels..
The process pf photosynthesis produces ATP from ADP to Pi (inorganic phosphate) by using the energy from light to excite electrons that are passed along an electron transport chain.. Coupled with the transfer of electrons is the pumping of hydrogen ions and splitting of water molecules.. after 2 molecules split 1 molecule of O2 is released
Inorganic molecules break up and create charged particles. Positive charged the ion are called cations, the negative charged particles are called anions..

If you have any questions about anything shoot me a message ill be glad to help out
Thank you appreciate it 😁 Happy Growing 🌱
That sounds awesome I just started growing a few different strains from Spain lots of fun next year I think I’m going to get into the greenhouse seen I think that’s definitely the way to go.
Your plants are looking great
Its very interesting way to grow! I would like to improve myself in the future with areo/or idro, what do yuo think is better for a begginer? Very Great garden bro! 💪😺🧑🌾🌱🌿🌲💖
