Start running in Aero buckets. Everything clean and rinse, tanks, chiller, pressurized tanks, lines and nozzles.
System pressure set to 98 PSI, PT @ 76 PSI pre charged
Solenoid valves open/close 1s ON, 4Min OFF......let work on this setting for a couple off days to see reaction. Will decries ON time when have establish sufficient root
PAR 250 PPFD, PH 5.89, EC 0.99, VPD 0.77, RH 63-68%, Temp Night-21c, Day-25-26.5c, Leaf temperature 22c, Light distance 80cm, CO2 1190 ppm
Today is actual 14th day from sprouting....

Roots are wet all the time, lots off drops on them. correct timing to 0,5s ON 7min OFF in Daytime and 0,5s ON 10min OFF in Dark period
Temperature is in range off 24,5c-26,5c, humidity swing is from 63% - 68%
23"00 Pressurized tank fill@ 98PSI - will see haw will last that amount off nutrient solution....hope till tomorrow

Girls stacking up nicely , from start really tight internodal spacing..
PAR 270 PPFD, VPD 0,6-0.77, RH 63-68%, Temp Night-21c, Day-25-26.5c, Leaf temperature 22c, Light distance 80cm, CO2 600-1200 ppm
PT-Pressurized tank - PH- 5.79 , EC -1.1, Temp-21c
NT-Nutrient Tank with stock solution - - PH -5.89, EC -0.99, Temp-19c,
Checking PH, EC and temp in nutrient tank and also in pressurized tank and tubing before solenoids. Slight different : Little higher EC (0,1), lower PH(0,1) and temperature in tubing around 21c.(+3c)
Recirculation buckets are collect around 4l off solution in 5-6 days , PH and EC are in similar starting position , solution is crystal clear and smell as it shod.
Pressurized tank fill@ 98PSI still in action and have more juice in it. Will check this and if so, probably gonna program Aquatec PSU or manual power up- no need to be powered whole day for no reason.

Reduced misting timings to 0.4s ON and 10min OFF time @ Lights ON
Roots start to show fizzy spider web like branches π
PAR 270 PPFD, VPD 0,6-0.77, RH 63-68%, Temp Night-21c, Day-25-26.5c, Leaf temperature 22c, Light distance 80cm, CO2 600-1200 ppm
PT-Pressurized tank - PH- 5.79 , EC -1.1, Temp-21c
NT-Nutrient Tank with stock solution - - PH -5.89, EC -0.99, Temp-19c,
EC and PH stabile in tank, thanks to AN PH perfect nutrient line, work every time

Three girls moving forward close to inch other, fourth which is sprout coupe days later progress up too. Put more power to lights - 390w@70cm distance
Tomorrow topping .

@FrontRowAG_BrianG,
30l White buckets are from corn syrup got it used for free, it cost in my country 1eur, wrap it with two layers off thermal insulation and white stretchy foil, all connectors are for RO water , and 14mm rubber gaskets around misting nozzles are from Ali Express. Everything is much cheaper than any hydro system to make and easier, first time no dripping at all
@WhiteEdge, Thanks for visiting my corner of GD. My ladies and i appreciate the love π. Apollo is so close to harvest. I think within a week. I get hit in the face with citrus diesel when I open the tent. And she is sticky.
@Golden,
Hello Golden, well i hope for around +-1000g from this 4 girls....In past with Nirvana strains its easily done.. Let see in new Aero watering..
Nirvana is great!
@WhiteEdge, YUP you are 100% right. Keep those temperature gaps close in VEG & EARLY FLOWER and we will get no extra stretch, Just what is within the genetic code of the cultivar being grown. Surprisingly you will find out with proper light intensity & temperature management, Not many strains stretch and get super lanky. Most all grow fairly robust and stalky
