Unfortunately I had to chop earlier than I wanted but I am still satisfied. There were some problem with mold and bud rot so about half of the buds were lost. I might try to grow in a different location as there was little air circulation and it was humid.

I used recharge through out the whole grow and my plants always looked healthy.
I bought this later into the grow it's hard to tell but it might have helped the buds pack on weight.

This grow was better than I expected. Controlling the water chemistry with only 7 gallons was very hard but I kept the plants alive. Unfortunately I lost the first school of tetras but the guppies were hardy and are still alive. I would like to attempt a larger aquaponics grow using maybe 25 gallons and possibly indoors if I can control the mold. The container was about three gallons and I only had four small fish so was not expecting great results. It was a pretty small yield but I am still satisfied.

Great work! How do you like the aquaponics growth rate? I have an aquaponics system setup with Tilapia right now and am growing veggies but was considering running some cannabis in it. I was worried there would not be enough nitrogen and minerals to keep the plants happy. 👍

@noble5052, Thanks for the heads up- I saw there is a viable aquaponic safe option to add liquid kelp/sea weed to help with the possible mineral/nute deficiency and not hurt the fish. Looks like the most effective grow method would be a hybrid like you did - transplant it with soil into the aquaponics medium. The tilapia definitely put out more nutrients than a few guppies 😁. I may try a clone cutting into the aquaponics soon. Thanks for the insight, and keep on experimenting and sharing your results!

@Beangineer, The cannabis is in a container with soil and clay media separated by burlap. I've been adding flowering nutrients and compost tea to the top. From what I understand soil is needed for microbes and to add minerals and other nutrients besides nitrogen. Also I'm sure tilapia could yield bigger plants than four guppies.
