Aeroponic Grow -- Kurry Kush

@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks for stopping by! I used the H2O2 method for a while, but it got expensive. After doing some calculations, I went with calcium hypochlorite as a reservoir sanitizing solution. Only 0.15 g / 50L reservoir build to get 2 PPM means my $14 will go a long way. I chose their answer because it is definitely the most informed input I received, and I can verify that it effectively treated the cause of my root zone dankness.

@ThatsMyPurse, thanks a lot! For my first one (inside at least) she turned out really well. Buds are starting to swell up and the main cola is just a real stunner. In terms of smell, she has a real nice strong Skunk smell with hints of sweet aromas, makes me salivate every time I open the tent to look at her.

@Anxious_Passenger, Thanks for the love! Today is my first day of flower, flipped last night. The girls are covered in pre-flowers, so the future is bright as long as I keep all my parameters dialed in. Your Purple Skunk looks good too! Hows the smell factor? I've got a skunky one next grow, hoping it absolutely wreaks.

@AlpineGoat, Thanks for the kind words! I look forward to the final cured product. I still have about a week and a half, but the end is in sight! I'll be sure to update.

@Wachsemilian, Thank you, it means a lot. It's my first time seeing any of this. Thinking I might chop today, going to start week 12 and post some trich pics! Please check it out and help me decide if they are ready to harvest.

@ChefDan420, This is really starting to feel like it will never end! Thanks for weighing in.

@Wachsemilian, Thanks! I'm excited to check the plants every day when I get home from work, this has been so fun. Edit: Wow! I just checked your diaries -- Your plants are beautiful! Thanks again for stopping by

@The_Projexx, Thanks for watching! Pretty hands off right now. Installed a dehumidifier in the past week as insurance against mold. Found a good price on a 50 pint model, and it does not disappoint. The water has really low TDS (~10-15 PPM) so I've been using it for my reservoir. Should help cut down on the water bill even though it's taxing on the electric.

@S_V_F_O, FIRST GROW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

@Dedon,Thank you! I just finished hacking everything together today. Filter installed, and drainage solution plumbed/programmed. Looking forward to topping and training sometime in the next week!

@ThatsMyPurse wow im looking forward to see your results, great work man..

@mariothejerkpalma, Thanks for the love! I'm in the middle of harvesting everything rn, and I've got two weeks of update coming soon. Trimming allllllll day tomorrow.

@MaryJaneUSA, Thanks! It looks like you know what you're talking about, you're grows look great. I'll post some trich pics, I think I'm getting close but could push a little further.

@BodyByVio, Thanks! I'm getting madd thirsty for this bud now. You gotta wrap that shit up B.👹

@OntarioBigGreen, Thanks for the good vibes! I've been battling heat and some humidity issues in this 6th week of flower. Gotta keep these girls going for at least three more weeks, I'll need those good vibes!

@@Buddeegrowers, Thanks for stopping by! Buds are really starting to put on some weight and I'm watching for more frost to develop. I'm learning about how cannabis grows, and hoping these ladies put out more trichomes after the buds fatten up a bit more.

@Cheezy Thanks! This has been a fun experiment. I have not had any algae issues. I would recommend either getting something with a black lid, or spraying this one with a couple coats. Taping it was a pain and I'm not particularly happy that there are a bunch of criss-crossing channels under the duct tape on my lids that cannot be cleaned out or dried if necessary. Not my favorite thing to think about. Besides that, these totes have been pretty great for this project. I don't want to go to 5 gallon buckets, but I am thinking about individual containers for the next go-around. My roots are so tangled up in the base of these. I had to leave the roots behind when removing males, enhancing my risk of root rot. The reservoir does get a little funky over the week. Something is growing, but I don't know what it is. Looks like gray gunk on my little submersible pump intake. Bought some pool shock this week, heard running chlorine at 2 PPM is perfectly safe and slows down the development of cultures. I change out the reservoir 100% every 5-7 days; slowing down the rate at which microbes multiply should work for me.
