Cannebi Lab, Aeroponic projects

Hello friends, I'm starting again with a few modifications to the hybrid Aeroponic home system that I made. This time with some improvements to the system and the lighting.
To start with, the changes to the system have been the following:
- Total water liters in the entire system 160L, between main tank, modules and drainage tank.
- High pressure pump giving 8.2 bars.
- A 40 micron filter at the pump outlet that this time I placed inside the soundproof cabinet since having it outside generated algae due to the light.
- Aluminum collector with distribution to equalize the pressures in each module.
- Two aerators per module and one aerator in the main tank.
- 5 baskets per module instead of 4 to fill a little more of the space that I had before.

Changes to the luminaire:
- Two Mars hydro FC1000 EVO panels, one of them mounted with the extension to 1.80m and moved with a rail 15cm to the left and 15cm to the right.
- Adlite pack of Mars hydro composed of deep red, far red and UV, to which I apply the times indicated by the manufacturer.

This time I'm starting with a new range of fertilizers, I've opted for Bionova with its Aeroponic range, let's see how it goes.

First I prepared the cuttings in the aerocloner and made the mistake of moving them into the system too quickly. I started with a rather low EC, which did not work out very well and showed calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Now they have finally stabilized with an EC of 1.3ms, so after the rooting period I start counting the growth from day 20.
Current state of the plants:

Current state of the roots, which I have managed to generate trichoblasts by adjusting the nebulization times to 3 seconds every 5.5 minutes:

And here is the personalized table that I made of all the fertilizers that I am going to use, which I will have to modify as I see fit. In order to add to the mix:

hello, happy growing.

What size boxes do you have this? First time try with 40x60x40 with 6 plants, and have bottom full with root, and now are buds so small compared to the soil. Grow very fast, even during flowering time. Now will try 55x100x40 box with 8 plants.

Day 16 of growth,
Well, guys, I have to say that I have had some problems again. To start with, I would like to tell you that if you are going to grow hydroponically, it is better not to use anything organic. That has been one of the main problems I have had, since the Bionova roots left sediment at the bottom of the modules, dirty the filters and in general left everything a mess. Apart from that, the roots that touched the water began to take on a brownish tone that I did not like very much and I think that some pathogens began to form in there. So what I have done has been to cut the most affected roots, empty everything, clean thoroughly with liquid oxygen, change the air diffusers and I have started the whole new water mix with Athena at 2.1 EC and Ph 5.7. I have also added a 1800L/h pump to recirculate water from the main tank to the modules every 15 min. The truth is that despite everything, the plants have continued to grow well. But just in case I'm going to give them another week of growth so that they can properly recover their roots. Here are a few photos so you can see how things are going.

Hello, they've taken on some pathogens and they're getting ugly. So I have to remove everything and start over. I'm considering this follow-up as complete and starting a new one with a different system. That's what comes with making homemade inventions 😅 .
Just so you know, the problem was stagnant water. Many pathogens are generated if there's no good circulation and oxygenation in the water.
