Nice one man :) got to get me some aeroponics some time :) I first saw aeroponic growing for the first time on youtube a couple of years back. The guy had a 6 x 4 ft area, 100 clones. If i Remember correctly he grew them to about 8" high and then flowered. Produced about 10 lb of Bud, 2 Large log baskets full :-) The root systems on the small plants were incredible.

Getting kind of foggy in here...

I'll be phasing out my 400 watt HPS with these... I have two on the way for starters.
If they work out, I will get two more.... They will replace the six 400's that I have right now.
I also got the EL2 controller.http://growershouse.com/gavita-pro-600-750e-flex-de-120-240v-fixture

Here's a picture of my night time parameters, and a snapshot of the grow after an hour and a half in the dark.

 

[ken dog]

Lights on a moment ago, no signs of gutation.
PPM at 140...or .2 EC
ORP is 312 Mv...pH is 6.3
Water temperature is 72-73 Fahrenheit... or 22 degrees Celsius.

 

[ken dog]

Two weeks tomorrow... Just finished tying them down again.

 

[ken dog]

Here is a morning after shot... today is the end of 2 weeks since introduction into the system.

 

[ken dog]

Dropped my water temps back to 68 because the roots were getting a little brown for my taste, and I think the Asos and Mycos have already established themselves... I also decreased my relative humidity to 65%... And my air temps are at 80.
My EC is still a little bit less than .2, at 130-140 ppm's.
Still running CO2 at the maximum setting... Anywhere between 1350 to 1500 PPMs.
The ladies are drinking about 1 gallon a day, maybe two.

 

[ken dog]

Two and a half weeks... I will tie them down again tomorrow.

 

[smokedareefer]

have the roots whitened up since you lowered the temp ?

 

[ken dog]

Yes...

Hey Ken looking good your going to need a whole wall for controllers lol i went with iponic 600 controller its Wireless and sends me alerts when something is changed
You can pretty much program every thing I went with UV ,ozone combo 
Only thing i plan on doing is running a sand filter just before the chiller thinking sand and coal mixture with a drain to waste set up etc But that will be fall project Just hoping it does not take out or lower my EC

Thanks:)

Just a heads up. ..
I wouldn't use that unit for ozone... There is no time for the ozone to react with the water, and there is no provision for destroying the ozone off-gassing.

That unit should not be run indoors without ventilation to the outside, and any indoor use should be monitored for ozone contamination.

That's humidifier appears to be doing its job quite well. You have it rigged into the autopilot controller I assume?

 

[ken dog]

Actually, the unit comes with its own digital controller.:)

[Savage Henry]

That's really cool, I looked at that unit while shopping around for one, ended up ordering the diy kit from house of hydro because I'm cheap.

How often does it kick on to maintain 65-70%rh?

 

[ken dog]

About 5 minutes on, and about 6 1/2 minutes off.
