good looking pics man.

I had an aero system a while back but the popo put an end to it while i was sexing.....

For the people considering the pipe:

I did mine in the 6" pvc pipe. that was a pain. we eventually left the pipe open and let it drain right into the rez. we couldnt get the drains to connect to the curved pipe, they kept leaking. it worked well, but since the rez was getting hot, we wanted to move the rez and we couldnt. We started freezing several milk jugs and tossing them in the rez..LOL

we never had an issue with the netpots though. they did teeter since the cup only rested on a VERY small portion but we never had an issue with netpots filled with lava rocks.


Tbug, I looked and couldnt seem to find where you showed the actual misters you were using. where did you get them? I used the misters from home depot that shot out like 12 streams in 360 degrees. seemed to work well.

How did you come up with your watering cycle? From what i remember, a period of about 45-60 seconds on, and a period of 5 minutes off was the optimum cycle. It was explained that the roots can only soak in a certain amount of nutes at one time, so anything longer is just wasted. no offense man, your grow seems to be doing great.

I was wondering what type of isssues you've had with the system? Especially the feeder pipes being IN the tubing and if the roots are growing around and blocking the misters? DO you have access to the misters now?


aeros great aint it? looks good man

High yama! :wave: Im not sure if I adressed this yet???? First my misters are similar to what youve described. the roots cant block because the water preasure is great enough to push the roots away.
Actually, I run that sucker 24-7 now. since it recircs, nothing is really wasted. the D.O. level and O level are at optimum ALL the time so lettin' it run does not hurt. If I had a timer that did those incraments, itd be nice. But running 24-7 seems to be working just fine. also, "soaking in" nutes is MUCH different than soaking in water! they need water alot more as they grow.
But Thanks for the thoughts and welcome to my closet. Enjoy the harvest and peace,TBug

High -VT-! :wave: lol, I was thinking of you when I posted those.."Volumptious Trichromes". The top is the hashberry which is just sticky as hell, and the lower is the Dreamweaver. There is a really nice dreamweaver in the back that Ijust cant get a decent shot of.

Its behind the left-most chain..and its literly "off the chain"lol
Anyway two more weeks and ill have decent mugshots of most of em. I believe the Satori will go longer. Peace and thanks, TBug

Nice setup TBug.
Curious where you got the bulkhead drains from? They seem fairly hard to track down. Thanks in advance.

I've been a Hashberry fan for sometime now...I am really liking the Satori....is yours smelling citrusy? I have some of the Dreamweaver.....I like that Satori....I wish I had room in my garden...I'd give the Satori a run maybe...lemme know if that shit is as potent as c99...

What's your take on running multiple strains? Been a smooth run? I always have had issues with that

Lookin' good Tbug :wave:

High -VT-! I probably wont do a multiple strain grow again. nute requirements were a slight issue, but the uneven growth rates were the biggest prob.
-never had c99, so cant help ya there. im not a big "day" smoker, the satori is just a "fling expeirment". i want that hashberry to put me nighty-night. Peace, TBug

High all! anybody still out there? well I started chopping the dreamweaver. here's the first. should be 2-3 ounces dried, it was a bit smallerthan the others and WAY smaller that both hashberrys. :yummy:
I dried and sampled the dreamweaver, and it is sensational! ...was floating after only 3 hits. A nice easy "float" high that sets in quicklyand leaves you comfortable. I shared some with a friend(which he took home to sample). He just called me at work and said "Damn that shit made me crossed-eyed!"

Very nice! Got a pack of GB x DW as well on my last order, and looking forward to it!

Do you have any pre-harvest pictures of them? I didn't see many...

How's that new aero system coming along for your organic run? Or are you waiting to harvest all your plants from this run and modifying the current system?

Nice looking buds! So you didn't do much in the way of curing??

High grow! Not much. a day in a fruit drier, and 2 days in a paper bag. a little brutal, but wasnt a very harsh smoke, really. Peace, TBug
