i'm sory i dont meant pot....
do i put my seed in Rockwool aftar it germinated, and go as usual for aeroponic (growing 18/6, and then moved to biger netpot for flowering 12/12 with an airstone)

wot system u using?
if its your first time growing i wouldnt bother trying aeroponics, its very very complicated, well can be. an im not saying you defo will but youl more than likely fuck it up more than once.
anyways be better to know wot system your using but the general idea when germinating is the same as any other growin method, pop the germinated seeds in ph adjusted rockwool an place them in the system, might be a better idea to root them a bit first.
i dont use aero or even hydro for that matter i use soil but i have looked into aeroponics a hell of a lot but to be honest i have zilch experience in using an aero system. im thinking of switching to it in the near future though. (only one system to go for an thats the atomix but it aint cheap)

Hey GW,

I went to check the Atomix website and it's blank (not dead).

I was hoping to be lusting after some new kit there! lol.gif!

Wonder what's going on there?

IMO you would be best off growing out your seeds first in the space you have available, say in pots in compost and sorting through the females. Once this is done you can clone from the best mother and do an aeroponic grow with the clones as personally I find clones tend to take off and root better in hydroponic/aeroponic systems as opposed to seedlings.

hey man, tnx for the answer,
well actually aeroponic is a very simple TEK, basicly its a pot full of water+nutes with a countinius suply of air thrue the water using air stones and an air pump.
regarding the system i'm going to use, well i'm actually going to make one (home made) and i'm going to use "Sera" or "Tetra" two way air pump for yeach pot, and a 400W HPS lamp a HP meter and some nutes... a few years ago i builed one of thoes for a friend and he told me that the results was far then briliant, since i never growen it for my self i was not sure how to act with the seedling....
if u can get your hand on a "Weed World" issue No-"The Very Best of Weed World" thers an great review by judge dready for an "oxy pot" and its a very simple system that any one can build.
and now back to my qwestion just let me see if i get it right, after the seed is poped out i need to put into a rockwool and to give it bout 7~10 days for rootings to apear and then to put it into a larger netpot....

hey man, tnx for your anser...
well actually its the first time that i'm going to grow and i dont want to start cloning at this stage couse theres to many things that could get wrong for a noob...
can i start in soil and then change it to aeroponic???? it sounds like a very stresing xp for the litle plants.....

Hi tipi, I admire your enthusiasm but I think you should have a good read of some of the diarys here before sprouting some beans...aeroponics is fun but very overated in my opinion you get just as good results from a far simpler set up...
taking clones from a good mother is easy (especially compared to aeroponics) and is one of the most important stages of growing (find the best plant then you'll always have good yield and quality)
whatever you decide to do I hope you get good results wink1.gif

hello prawn tnx for ansering me!!!!

well i actually have reade tons of articles and guides and some books, and latly have read some of the diarys here (some of them its a real killer stuff!!!!) but its not posible for me to get clones here (i'm not from the u.k) as the thumbs rule says "keep it descreet and dont tell any one...." and i'm not going to break this rule and never has!!!!!
so the best way for me is to use seeds, since i have lots of xp in growing aqua plants and exotic fish i know how to work/set up a water base enviroment, the only thing is that i'm not really familiar with hendeling with canabis in a water based setup (i used to grow in a simple soil in the back yard no nutes no lights no nothing lol.gif).
so if u can pls give me some tips for the first stages i will be very glad!!!!!!!
tnx in advance......
PEACE&LOVE

Fair enough Tipi, go for it wink1.gif ...
not done a full areoponic grow but I do veg my clones in aero before putting them in a flood n drain tray of pebbles... not alot I can tell you that isn't in peeps aero diarys - if it was me I'd pop the beans using the 'paper towel' method, then stick em in some 1inch rockwool till they show roots then put them into 3inch rockwool cubes then once showing plenty of roots again I'd put em in the aero... one thing I know in aero is that you don't need as much nutes as other methods of growing, so underfeeding would be preferable to overfeeding etc... happy growing mate thumbsup.gif
tipifree
tnx allot man, will do it asap........
i'll try to make a diary and to keep u updated........
and if u'll ever came up with some new info pls let me know!!!

cheers guys, and take care!!!!!!
