Pics of Buds from the Aeroponic Grow

Well to those who are regulars you know Im an aerponics guy.I built my own 28 plant setup and posted a grow log for this last grow.Speed is great.I took my clones put them in the setup for 10 days then flowere with 3 4oo watt hps lights and harvested at week 5.Yield wet trimmed and manicured was right around 90 ozes from this setup.I figured a few pics would be a nice addition to the site so here are some rando pics of cut buds,buds i bowls and some showing some drying...

These are buds shots right after cuttings and shows some manicured

Ok heres a few shots of a couple bowls of the buds as they were getting manicured and readied for drying...Just a couple of the bowls.These bowls are about 20 inches wide and 10 inches deep

And here are a few quick shots of some going to dry on screens with fans blowing under and above them as the process then off to jars...

Breakfast of a pot head little of these few pizzas and pop mmmm

very nice by the way


so how much dried do you think?

whats your guess?

how big is the areoponic system by ft

Thanks .Im guessing around 2-3 lbs dry basically I'll loose 70% weight drying and curing.The actual setup is about 6-7 feet long and about 4-5 feet wide.Its made out of 4 pvc fence posts similar to some designs sold at stores for around $800 but I made it for about $145 with pump.In my gallery is a picture of it.

you made your own aeroponic system? ok, that caught my attention.

do you have a link to a post or can you divulge some more details? what are you using for spray nozzles? how many plant sites in this system? pvc and what else. very curious.

thanks in advance.

couldn't see the pics in you gallery.

Well, Filthy, I guess your math is dirty, too. You said 90 oz wet, that would compute to about 20 ounces when dry. Even with your guesstimate of 30%, it will come to 27.

My experience is 22%.

Still a very nice yield for 1200 watts. And you flowered for only 5 weeks? Did you think they were done?

Well the total dry is guestamate.I still have the lower bud sites going.I cut the finished upper stuff out trimmed back unneed leaves and stubs and let the rest go to see if it would keep going and fill in some before cleaning them completely off.I figure what looked to be left in the grow to about 4-6 oz dry so my guess of around 2 lbs is close.At 5 weeks I know they were done.I had 75-80 orange red hairs and trichs under 60% magnification lens showed almost all trichs turned milky light cloudy.This particular plant has always finished in 6 weeks flower in ebb and flow setup for my buddies over last 12 years and the aero grow knocked about a weeks time off.The next time out I will keep some of this stuff going but also mix in BlueBerry and Sweet Purple strains for some variety.I havent grown those 2 before so time frame may be different but hopefully somewhere between 5-7 weeks.I have never had to go above 7 weeks but that was a pure sativa strain and sativas take forever lol

hmman the pics start on page 1 in the gallery 12th down and continue to page 2.I have promised to post the how to build of this setup for about 2 months now and built a new version and got all the pics and stuff for the post but Im a big liar and been real lazy lately and just havent done it.Check this journel in next week and Ill see if I can get my shit together and leave a link for a how to setup..

do you find it pays off to flower the lower buds longer after the tops are harvested.can you see the buds gain size and weight.thanks.

I find its worth it.I tale all the big colasa and major buds off then I clean off the branches that dont have buds and some of the yellowing or unneeded leaves.From this grow I d say after the harvets then the trim and the burst of more nutes the tiny sites that were just showing or tiny buds now have food and light they have quadropled in about 2 weeks should yeild few more ozs in a week or so.

So you are telling me that this particular strain you have is ripe in only 42 days, and somehow just because you grew it in an aero system it finished in 35 days?

Sounds like magic.

shit my bb line nneds 10 weeks just to get semi cloudy 35 days wow!

Well not much more I can do to show it beside the complete grow journel from day 1 to finish I posted with pictures and details.This particular indica strain has been grown in this small circle of growers for about 2 decades at least.I have always seen the other guys who grow it with flood and drain table pull finished plants at 6 weeks mine in the aero setup came out at 5 weeks and 3 days of actual 12/12 light,I cloned them they rooted in 3 days then into the setup for like 10-12 days so from start to finish 53 days.Cant do much more to show ya it though.Im not here to brag on it or prove anyone wrong but this is what my grow did and the trichs are great and its the 1 bowl your done type of indica so sorry if it seems too fast to you but for my circle if you ever go over 7 weeks you did it wrong lol with exception of sativas them bitches take forever.

Very nice nuggz!

Hey Fletch, I'm not saying you're wrong, but I find it difficult to think that only your group of friends has such a strain. And I'm from Missouri, y'know? So I would have to grow her out for myself to actually "see." So if you would be so kind as to send me a cutting... I've flowered about 25 of the 'named genetics,' and I've yet to see one that was ripe in the time that even the seedbank said it would. And the least amount of time that I've seen advertised is 45 Days, and I've got one of those, and she takes 60.

Or it could be that flowering for more than 49 days is not actually "doing it wrong."

@ a rate of 35 days of bloom until finish, you could pull up a chair have a cold one, and watch buds grow! Sounds great!

damnnnnnnnn nice greenery. I have an aero system i just got a house to ut it in as well. How much did you yield?

peace

really nice dude!! well done!! i would be so proud lyk, thats a nice havest!!
