I don't have any problems with my plants but heres some pics of my aeroponics grow
This is the grow I am designing the light for

I like the chicken mesh to give them something to work around and not just get all balled up

There is a purpose for that. The center is hollow and I have a mister spraying up in the center

gotcha I like the design. I did a aeroponic build once.. I should of keep all the same strain in it.. I had one sweet tooth and 5 XXX420's.. The sweet tooth blew up so freaking huge it blocked all the light to the other 5 lol
Freaking Louise and Lucy Look beautiful!!!!!!!!! well they all do but those two would be my favorite by how they look .. what kind of smells did that gold leaf giving off? and what's the parent lineage??

Thanks for the compliment. Not bad for my first grow.
They started smelling around 30 days old. At first it was a skunky smell, but as they are getting older there is more of a sweet smell. I live by myself so the smell is not a issue. I kind of like the smell. I'm building a grow room in my basement so it has a iPower 4' fan and filter when the smell gets to strong.
I don't know the genetics, when I was looking for seeds I just bought what was on sale and was rated for beginners, I would like to try some Autos but the yield is only 2 or 3 oz
Would like to try some different strains. Maybe something with a high CBD for my cancer

new blood is always a good thing... I like a good mix of cbd (or maybe its cbn) with thc.. I always let my one strain go 80-85 days even though it's suppose to be 60-70 because I like more amber.. which I'm hearing now is thc breaking down into cbn.
I would like to run some autos outdoors.. because we don't have much of a season here... I'm sure its not much different in MI unless your a Yooper
a good site for finding out about strains that I love is http://en.seedfinder.eu/
two awesome looking CBD strains that I want to try are Pennywise by TGA ( sub cool) http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Pen ... ool_Seeds/
and this http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Can ... _Genetics/ or anything by that company.. they all sound good.
https://www.cannabis-seeds-store.co.uk/ has both of those in their bank plus many others... I have ordered a few times thru them and never once had a problem.. I always just send cash certified mail and wait 15-20 days for it to arrive... that's not bad for going across the pond and back.

Great info. Still haven't decided what to grow next. Still have 7 seeds from last order, but wanted to grow something for pain relief that doesn't get you to high. Then theres cloning which I need to try too.

Having to manually control and adjust pH twice a day sounds like hell to me. The first couple of weeks of the first grow, when you're marveling the beauty of nature a couple of times a day anyhow, might still look alright. But not being able to be away from the house for more than 12 hours for three, four months? And when growing becomes a habit, not going out - ever? I'd highly recommend either getting yourself already now an automated pH adjuster (those aren't cheap) if you plan on continuing with aeroponics or switching to a different growing technique for future grow cycles.
(As for the pH, growing in coco/hydro the recommendation is to keep it at 5.8 with range going around 5.5-6.5. Perhaps with aeroponics it's different, but otherwise I'd try to keep the pH closer to the middle of the range. Also: is the air bubbler necessary? I'm guessing the micro-droplets are aerated enough as it is, and it only contributes to pH going up.)

That problem was corrected a while ago when I raised the PPM level above 600, It's stable now. I try to keep PH at 5.8. The air stone probably isn't necessary, but as you also put a fan on your plants to provide co2, I also wanted a way to provide fresh oxygen to the plant roots
If you're good then it's all good. I'm just giving you a heads up that in the long run small nuisances become a pain, and that anything you can do to simplify and automate pays off. My personal quest is towards complete automation of everything besides plant training and potting
