@Steven you don’t have to worry about oxygen not being available in the aeroponics, it’s quite abundant due to root mass not being submerged during growth.

Oh heck yeah 
I’m really looking forward to this, I was going to do the same, run @SweetBuds nu wave oven along side of the hydro and see how each cake is, did you see that post on the auxiliary light? I’m digging it

@Steven i did not see that. I’m a real believer of under annd interior lighting. More resembling of what natural light does. Kudos to you for that extra step.

Hey hey @IRDuH our current net pots are 8 in. Yours appears to be 4 in. and much shallower should we switch to the smaller net cup? In the hydro the drip rings keep the clay pebbles moist how is that achieved in your system? Will the pebbles wick moisture iff the roots or…?

@SweetBuds which ever works for you guys. I only do 4 in net pots because I do clone runs in 5 gallon DWCs sometimes and will run 3 per 5 gallon because once they root in my cloner I give them 3-5 days to get set in dwc before flipping to flower and running about 12-16 5 gallon buckets at a time under 2 4800 FCE Mars Hydro lights.
Only have one setup at the moment to get spring plants set for outside finish.

@SweetBuds sorry it took so long to respond. My father went into surgery to have his cancerous mass removed and 30% of his right lung as well. Been a little stressful today.

So everyone knows how much tiedown I had on my plant. It was 38"x38"x 11" in cubic setup. Without tiedowns, it is 31"x31"x 26" in its cubic setup in the 55 gallon container. With 5 days of outdoor space. Wanted to give this perspective so everyone knows how it’s doing during the transition. Pictures will follow in post for perspective.

@Steven most stems, including secondary stems, are size of small highlighter pens, side branches on all main/secondary stems are sizes of thick tooth picks. My expectations are that the plant will reach a maximum of (in two to two and a half months of veg) is 52"x52"x63" with constant growth in a “Virginian” isc… setup of sunlight.

@SweetBuds thank you ma’am. He’s out just (he doesn’t take pain well as a construction worker for 30+ years) very well. His attitude is “f them all”, this isn’t right type of situation. But he came out fine. Thank you for your wishes. He’s not happy to be dealing with sub-par food, as well as, having to stay at a hospital for a night or so.

Current branch count, 38 main branches, 120+ secondary branches, and 300+ side branches of main/secondary branch count. Will be thinning out side branches when closer to end of summer “sales” of growth.

@Steven Just wanted to show you a good comparison of the amount of change that happens in a weeks worth of time. Still running the same reservoir of nutrients I was using that week I sent the picture and from this photo, this is how much it’s actually used. It’s less than half a gallon to reach these results.
