So i read your first post and it kinda don't make a whole heck of a lot of sense, you say you grow in an aero system but use 100% organic nutrients, I'm pretty sure no bottled nutrient is really organic so what do you mean?

Im sorry, i dont know where you read 100% organic? i just read my post and didnt use the term anywhere?

Hey stinkbud, i am in the process of building my own aeroponic NFT system. I Have 4 plants on each fence post and decided to use a 5x5 inch instead of the 4x4 inch fencepost. I am also using a Platinum LED P600 light and all your recommended botanicare nutrients. I have attached a link to my new thread and any advice for a beginner is much appreciated. I have been following your post (read up to page 120) and over the last month slowly building up my system. Here is a link that has all my pictures. Thanks for your time!

Hey Ben! I'd experiment with your PPM to see what your plants like best. It can vary quite a bit. My last batch was a perfect example. I had some plants completely bird-clawing on me from over-fertilization. Right next to it the Grape Ape was starving! Half the plants were happy so I just picked the average.

Start at 400 PPM and keep it there for awhile. Some woody strains like a little more Cal-Mag. You may have to double your Cal-Mag in some cases, depends on the strain.

Organic based nutrients are what I recommend but I like to try different nutes. I'm always experimenting. I've been breeding lately so I'm back to old-school soil.

The Botanicare line of nutrients is, "Organic Based". It's not completely 100% organic. When I think of "Organic" I think of soil using natural fertilizers. Botanicare is close and in some ways better than soil. I can say that when you combine the Botanicare nutes with soil you get award winning bud and winning here in Oregon ain't easy!

Read the first post where this guy explains everything , here it is

Outdoor growers are heading inside now so I thought if might be a good time to start a thread on how you can harvest a pound every three weeks from a 7x8' closet.

I'll take you through my process from start to harvest.

What is different about my system vs. others?

1) 3 separate Aero/NFT flower systems allow me to run a 9 week flower cycle. This allows the buds to fully ripen and also allows me to run strains with more Sativa in them.

2) I use 100% organic nutrients for the sweetest tasting bud you can ever imagine.

3) I take my cutting from my veg plants. This way I can run 10 different strains without having to keep 10 mother plants.

4) My system is all Aeroponic/Hydroponic or Aero/NFT. Each system uses the same sprayers and pumps. No medium is used. Basically the plants grow in air.

5) I have a 100% success rate with my cloner. By far the easiest way to take cuttings.

6) I always leach and then flush for at least 2 weeks for buds that burn and taste clean.

7) I run a three part cycle. The plants stay 3 weeks in the cloner, then 3 weeks in the veg system and then the move to flower for the last 9 weeks.

Anyone can do this! If you can read a number you will have the same success as I do. Everything is measured and it is as easy as baking a cake.

If you follow my instructions you too can harvest a pound every 3 weeks.

So here we go...
I underlined it so you can't miss it, kinda doesn't make much sense to me. Also from what i am reading this guy is using botanicare hydroponic nutrients, those aren't even remotely organic. Finally i'd like to say real organic growers don't flush that's for salt based inorganic growers (like you are)

Understood, I am still going to go ahead and continue the instructions he put out considering all the positive reviews. From the articles is hightimes, 420mag, and reading through this thread, it seems like he knows what he is talking about. Im not really here to argue over the semantics of organic/inorganic nutrients at the moment considering this is my first grow with more than 2 plants. I enjoy growing hydro so I think I am going to continue for now. As far as i know, I haven't heard of a 100% completely organic way to grow hydroponically (I may be wrong). If you have any suggestions please feel free to share the knowledge!

Use a SIP , 100% organic, i'm sure this guy's methods work to grow decent quality but it won't measure up to properly grown organic buds.

Ok sounds like a plan! I have Girl Scout Cookies and Gorilla glue, are you familiar with growing these strains and the PPM?

There are hundreds of brands of nutes out there and they all work fine. I wouldn't get hung up on what it's called, just follow the instruction. I used General Hydroponics last time with great results. I know guys that grow 100% organic, they make their own tea from the left over leaves and stems. They win awards every year here in Oregon. I have all 23 of their strains in front of me right now. Out of all the strains the Headband 707 is the best. Not because of how it's grown but because it has the best genetics. I'll say it every time....It's all about the genetics.

Just flipped my veg to flower but not after battle with the tangle roots. Ive done a thread search on the topic of the tangling and transferring and so far it's unclear.

I went ahead and cut the "at the hips" but towards the end of the shift, they didn't look too happy and we're drooped over.

How do you guys work with the tangled roots from veg to flower?

I move them all to flower together in my dwc type system.. once those roots grow together I feel like it does more harm than good to seperate them.
Have you already explained your setup? I'll go back and look if so

I'm using the two tier veg system along with the post pole setup for flower.

I have this issue frequently also when I move from veg tub to the flower rails.

The best way I have found to solve this problem is to lift the net pots up a few inches out of the veg tub every couple days.

I have torn the roots apart quite a few times when moving them over and have never had any negative affects that I've noticed.

I veg for longer than I should in the stacked double set up and roots grow together. I just cut the and have never had any issues although I try to stay on top of it so i cut them frequently since I so,etimes veg for two months, but try not to cut roots the week prior to flower transfer
