The ladies started showing pistils at day 12 which is about right after they were started on a 12 hour light cycle. At this point I started foliage spraying with Canna Bio Boost to give the flowers an extra jolt of potassium and phosphorous. I spray every other week until 2 weeks before harvest.
My aeroponic transplants have recovered and rooting beyond their pots inside the reservoir - as expected. While the plants in the coco medium require 5-10 gallons of water/nutrients every 4 days the aeroponic plants will excel without out added water for 2 weeks. Two weeks is my schedule for change out but it could go longer. Currently the aeroponic reservoir contains 7 gallons of water. At $31 for nutrients every 3 weeks I can realize a significant cost savings with aeroponics with my next crop. In addition, aeroponics are purported to have a crop that is superior to hydroponics with a medium.
