This was the hermie mom 1 month into flowering.. had to chop her due to bud rot.. I'm hoping that I could get more than a month with these girls.. but so far with my weather 1 month flowering is my max.

Curious to see how this goes.

I tried aquaponics at my farm with tilapia - It was a miserable failure. It seems to me like the needs of the fish and the needs of the plants are somewhat similar, but not close enough for it to be a closed system. The amount of fish you need to produce waste to feed the plants is pretty high. And then with the pool being open to the air / sun - you add nutrients and they almost before your eyes become algae. It's a balancing act for sure.

I'm following along because I hope someone figures this out - might as well be you! Good luck.

I've been told that you keep your tank covered. No light in and the algae does not grow. And keep a pleco or 3 in the tank.

When we lived in Hawaii, a friend ran an AP farm. He used to show me his setup all the time.
My wife and I like to homestead, but we are getting too old to make everything anymore, so we are planning on building an AP soil based system into our greenhouse when we move to a bigger place. Not exactly soil, but a pH auto adjust system like soil. It will minimize a lot of upkeep.

Sounds like you have it figured out. And you are right. For AP water to be viable it needs to be ph controlled to around 6

The only thing I've figured out is that I haven't figured anything out. Just ask my wife.

Then you on the right track with Aquaponics.. that's literally how everyone practicing feels like daily.

Day 13 of veging. I decided to top all 4 plants. They are really taking off in those small pots. Will be transplanting and moving them soon. The cucumbers wants that extra space lol.

ALSO DAY 8 of flowering.. things are looking good . What are your thoughts. Flowering normal for day 8?. I'm not to familiar at the Flowering stage.. still a bit new to me.
