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:
