Is that really your third or fourth cycle. I know you mentioned this is your 4th cycle. Usually most have advanced beyond your results in such time. But some take longer than others!!!!!!!!!
cause aeroponics isnt advanced at all or anything, pretty basic simple stuff there, that i also mixed with coco and learned how to grow in coco right here from aqua.
back to the perlite drying out, yea it dries fast, dryback is a bit more critical there, but seems to grow faster due to more gas-exchange as stated above, and i like the challenge.
my only issues have been algae and automatic watering, not in my budget right now for that, and algae is simple fix, not letting the light in
im not trippin about it, just want these to finish so i can reset and go to the next grow, which will be aimed more toward Yield.
