The 30 minute 6 plant aero build

In tckfui's situation the slime on the roots caused from too warm Rez temps?

too warm?!?! I thought warm was good? what temp is too warm?
silly tomatoes salvias for peppers!!!

I dunno. I thought Rez temps above 80 could cause the slime? I thought maybe the pump was generating heat. Have you gotten rid of the slime?

no. I tried and its not really slime, its this dark shit thats on the upper half of the roots.

ok,ok... I have built probably every kind of aero/hydro systems known to man (ok , maybe not all of them...) Now, what I really NEED to know is....whos the girl in your avatar?? what country, "race"? tell me now goddamnit! im on my way to the airport. Im getting married!!

hahaha one of the best first posts I've ever read!!!!!!!!
I think he just took a pic of some random hot chick of the net man... not sure.

Thats an old fling of mine you probably know her from Disney.Vanessa Hudgkens.On the resw water temps you wann keep them no warmer then 75 tops but best at 65 degrees F so the water hits the roots at about 70

I just read that roots will get a dark rot and leaves will dry and or yellow from salt buildup...I think this might be my problem.
how do I reduce salt buildup besides doing a res change?

a salt leaching agent like Clearex would clear up the salts....how old is the plant again? Also some pumps really do raise water temp, just freeze some water in a plastic bottle and plop it in there whenever the water need to be cooled. Depneding on the size of the res. it might only need it every couple of days. Also if the res is dark it will absorb heat and heat the water up.

all good, looks a great setup. going to make one today fingers crossed

this looks pretty complicated =/

Its actually really really simple if you understand the basics of hydro or aero.If you need one built and shipped let me know I sell complted units to go.

ohhhh I know your zip code!!!

How long does it usually take to go from seed to harvest in a aeroponic system? I imagine it would speed up the process quite a bit eh?

I dont know about from seed to harvest, but I put a few clones in there that were 2 inches at the time, and they harvested in what the strain called for 50-55 days, and when they were done they were just one big solid 12+ inch buds

It just seems like a shitload of trouble to maintain one of these systems. I keep reading about peoples plants withering up, and just giving them trouble.

I'm not going to lie, I am having a few minor problems... but I would be with soil as well.
it really dosnt requier much work at all once its set up. just test the water every other day, and fix whatevers going wrong if anything is. and by fixing I mean adding some water, adding some nutes or adding some PH up or down... sometimes its alittle more complicated... but for someone who started using this thing only a few months ago, and knew basicaly nothing about hydroponics, it is easier than soil in a way... I dont have to water them, or anything like that, just test the water... and add some things now and then. and watch the rapid growth... I am doing a graph of hydroponic vs soil tomatoes, the hydroponic tomatoes plant is 3 1/2 feet tall while the soil is 1 foot 7 inches... not as big of a diference with the ganja so far... but certainly a noticable one... jost not 2 times as big...

See, if the pot grows that good in a hydro system, then thats what Ineed to be learning about. A friend of the family has killed a couple plants in the flowering stage, with bad resoiver water or something to that extent.

these systems are high maintence. for example yesterday i dropped my ph meter in the water. nothing but trouble imo. im going back to growing in my computer case
