Lion's automated aeroponic garden pilot

Hey bro

This is thrips, which are attacking your plants, about 3/4 weeks ago I had a lot of problems with this, my grow was getting infested, they reproduce very fast, you need to control it soon.

Here I removed the leaves attacked by thrips, and I use a foliar with garlic extract, in 2/3 applications the thrips disappeared, if you take a look at my diary, you will see what they did to one of my plants, in question of days.

Along with the garlic extract I also use a bio-insecticide, I’ll send you the link to the video so you can take a look.

the garlic extract I’m using, I got this garlic tip from chive producers in Santa Catarina who lost an entire crop because of thrips.

Definitely thrips, been there for a while most likely. You will make it to harvest.

Here is an excellent presentation for the identification and treatment for thrips.

Looking forward to watching your progress. In the future, is this a model that can be scaled down in size? Possibly so it fits under the grow space or under the grow bin?
Also, I’ve never run aero myself but hope to get something setup in the future…I’ve been wondering about organic nutes or more specifically micro orgs. Is it feasible to have 2 feed lines, one with aero pores and one that can accommodate micro orgs?

Hi @LionsNaughtyBeans,

Hope you’re making progress with your system!

I remember where I saw something similar. When in the subway in Barcelona an Israelian guy gave me his card. He had a startup company for his system. Check it out, maybe it will give you some ideas.

Hey @Kabuddha, thanks for the visit. I’m not a specialist in nutrition, actually i am really newbie in all of this, just very very curious, lol. But I guess in the aeroponic systems you need treat it like a normal hydroponic environment, then I belive organic nutes can get rot fastly in the water and the plant cant absorb the nutrients because it isnt ready for the plant absorption, like we can see in the picture bellow:

Hey Stinky, happy to see you here!!! Thanks for the positive vibrations!! fortunately I doing progress but more slow than I expect… I have other responsabilities to get done, so… Im doing my best… thats the reason I dont spenting much time here… But soon as I can I will post some news here about the project and try to envolve the overgrow community in our building process!

Heeey everyone!! really busy months those last ones.

@Hydi-Idan Hey bud, how are you? Thanks for taking a time to visit my thread! I am suspect to say… I used to take my toys apart to make new and exclusive ones since I was a kid… nothing has changed, lol !

I loved the product you made, quite inspirational! I still working on mine… finishing the AI part soon… I will update here when be the time. We focusing on the software part… maybe we can share some opportunities with you about automation… thats not our strenght.
Hope you’re enjoying overgrow… I love this community… another great inspiration in my life :slight_smile:

@Stinky good to see you around again :slight_smile: srry for didnt update here often… I trying to keep my 2 jobs while Im trying to create my 3th, lol. Without left my babies die of thirsty. :crazy_face:

Guys. I am in doubt about one thing… these leafes which are burned by deficiency, they still do the job ? absorb light and etc or its better to remove them to keep the energy going to the new ones ?

That is the result of high prices of nutes :stuck_out_tongue: I saved on the nutrient and almost starved her to death… poor thing.
