Aeroponic Update Day #5

Though the plant is doing well I needed to re-change water VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

The plant has done well after being given flowering nutrient ratios – I have changed the water due to excess dirt coming off the once soil grown plant. I did not want my only pump to clog and break ; so I changed it cleaned out the pump and water.

Notice the Dirty water I cleaned out last night!! VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

I also Noticed that my pump wasn’t set to its highest setting not allowing the sprayers to mist effectively.
I have cleaned out my pump notice the dirt residue on the outlet – here are the new white roots being added after 4 days of aero switch.
*** Always check the consistent function of your system pump and misters will from time to time build up nutrient salts that need to be removed.There are special additives to prevent salt buildup but I have never had much problem with it if you clean at least once a month.

The plant is doing amazing at day 5 - I will next walk you through how much should be added – If you compare how the plant was at the start of the nutrient change into the bloom phase ; you will notice that the ratios and PPM were very fitting and it is showing no signs of over fertilizing. We now know that the plant can handle 1080 PPM of Advanced Nutrients Sensi Bloom. The advanced nutrients calculator is helpful allowing you too change your reservoir size and shows you how much of base and additives you can provide.
** One rule of thumb with advanced nutrients is I reduce it by at least 25% of what they said for hydroponic/aeroponic systems just to be safe and I have found plants don’t need that much food and it will slow them down to provide more than is necessary.
I will now need to add my nutrients……
