  Smurfy's Aeroponics Garden (Avg Rating: 9.0 in 52 votes)   undisclosed
DescriptionThis was an aeroponics garden I built about 7.5 years ago after I attended a NASA seminar. I went to the seminar because of work and listened to NASA's detailed explanation of space travel and some of the ideas to realize long space journeys to distant planets. In their description, they were explaining the method by which astronauts would obtain their oxygen and food supplies if a trip to Mars was launched. This was the first time I was introduced to aeroponics. The NASA people went into great lengths about the speed at which plants grew, producing oxygen and a steady food source for their brave men and women. I flew back home with my partner two weeks later when the seminar ended and while sitting on the plane, my partner and long time grow buddy said to me, "wouldn't it be awesome if we could grow weed using that aeroponics technique?" Although it never occurred to me during the seminar, bells and whistles started going off in my head. When we finally got home, I quickly contacted the NASA people and had them send me everything they had pertaining to their aeroponics research. An orange box worth of files arrived on my desk about a month later and so began my research into the aeroponics technique. My buddy and I was using high tech water cultures then, now referred to as Nutrient Film Technique, and were no strangers to marijuana or the methods that can be implemented to grow them. We had tried every technique available or dreamable at the time but never attempted aeroponics. After 4 long months of debating and researching with my friend, we were finally ready to put together our first aeroponics garden. And so the journey began.....what you see here is my second aeroponics garden. It contains the newly available HPS bulb, new back in those days, three 1 horsepower jet pumps, 360 degree atomizing misters, CO2 controllers, and carbon hepa filters.

Tired of coughing up phlegm?? Here at GrowKind we switched from smoking to vaporizing 10 years ago, and our lungs have never felt better. In that time we have tried every vaporizer you can think of including domes, digital vaporizers, light bulbs, heat guns, and the volcano. Some work better than others but after all that time we still go back every day to our vape pens. Do yourself and your lungs a favor and head over to Vaporwarehouse. Don't Smoke! -- Vaporize!

4.5 Week of 12/12 No main colas in this garden, every bud is pretty much the same exemplifying SOG. The girls are consuming 130 litres of 2200 ppm. 11/26/03
5.0 Week of 12/12 Looking at this room was like seeing a room full of fuzzy pop cans with leaves. The girth on the budz was something of a spectacle to see. Each time I squeezed it, it felt like an extremely sticky rock. Fert consumption has hit a milestone for me as the girls were consuming 130 litres of 2700 ppm. Very amazed as the nutrient solution at 1500 is already saline. At 2700 ppm it would have been toxic in my previous NFT. 11/26/03
5.5 Week of 12/12 Time for the final flushing and the growing to come to a halt. 11/26/03
Group Curing Though the curing process shrunk the flowers down considerably, I was still able to pull off budz 4-5 inches long, 1.5-2.0 inches in girth. Average budz weighed in between 11-13 grams each when fully cured 11/26/03
Bud Posing Though a picture says a thousand words, pictures don't do any gardens justice. The digicam from almost a decade ago, though top of the line, still produced inferior photos compared to the resolutions capable by today's standards. This last shot, I remembered, looked liked the bud fell into a sugar bowl prior to the shoot. 11/26/03
