Lion's automated aeroponic garden pilot

Hello guys… i’m here to share my efforts in my new indoor garden.

i’m using a DIY LPA system.

i have 6 seeds of Colombia Gold (aka santa marta)
4 seeds of Lemon Haze

and one Critical+ by TrikomaSeeds ( tragic, i put 4 seeds to germinate but only one has growth)

later i will send some pictures.

Happy to be here!

The 4 fem seeds of Critical+ (Trikhoma Seeds Barcelona) dont growth… i will try the last 2… they’re already on water.

Tragic :frowning:

I put an air pump with 3 air rock in my water reservoir. Lets see if the girls will like.

I’m some worried about the roots… my sprinkler is too stronger for the roots… thinking about substitute the sprinkler.

i’m using this black one

and thinking to substitute for this:

the water particles will reach the roots more gently.

The first troubles just appeared.

I dont closed the light entrance near the netpots and i’ve envolved the netpot with a coffee percolator, just to keep the perlites inside the netpot… the result:
FUNGUS.

i removed the perlite, filled in with phenolic foam and now i’m begging that fungus dont come back.

i will put some “EVA” paper ( i dont know the traslation of this) to keep the light away from the roots zone.

the cover of netpot is improvised and i will change it too…

and i did activate the anothe chamber, change the water pump and the sprinklers for nebulizers… the system is getting mature and i’m so excited with this :slight_smile:

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at 3-5% dilution just like you can get for cuts.

@George suggested it … i’m going out to buy it just now and some rubberized board to put on netpot holes to stop the lights entering…

hope my sweeties will get well !! :crossed_fingers:

@George @ChemicalDependant can i add the H2O2 on my water solution (with ferts to misters) ? or it’s better take the diseased plant and wash it separately ?
