Volcoms first aerogarden grow

[UnderPhire]

hey bro i'm growing in the exact same setup, is that the 200 pro? mine are the same size too. lmao...

Ha lakai, i think thats awesome, i love lakai's, well anyway im about to do what your doing with the aero garden and this is very helpful. Is yours a aerogarden 100 or 200? also whats a nute and where can i buy them locally?

yea lakai's r one of my fav shoe companies. I have the Aerogarden pro 200. And nutes=nutrients, you can get them at any hydro store. I use fox farm grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom. I haven't used them yet, waiting until Thurs the 2 week mark. I hope I helped out good luck with ur grows. Make sure you get a ph tester and keep it between 5.5-6.0.

Alright it's been 13 days and everything seems to be going good. Cleaning the rez seemed to work, no more brown spotting on new growth. Pics tomorrow for week 2. But here's a pic if my buddies outdoor bagseed grow. He got lucky with 2 females we pulled one out of the picture cause it's real stretchy were just going to let it mature a little more and them make hash brownies out of her while we wait on the pictured one to be rdy.

Alright, here they are pics!!!! They are looking good just flushed the rez and started my fox farm feeding schedule used half of recommended amount. I also started foliar feeding today, i used 1/4 strength nutes for the sprayer i bought today along with a fan to blow onto plants. In case you forgot I installed a bathroom exhaust fan in the ceiling it seems to be working pretty good it's quiet too can't even hear it with the closet door closed. I will see how it goes until next rez flush, then I will prob go to full strength. The pictures are from left to right.

Day 1: 8/14/08
Today: 8/28/08 (Day 14)
PH: 5.8
Air temp: 73 F
Water temp : 69 F

Your a shame to volcom. Although we smoke weed, the company doesn't promote growing it. Make up your own name buddie.

Why are you flushing the res ? Your stressing the plants doing that ... Ive have 3 good harvests with an aerogarden and I never changed my water or did i check the ph .. and always used spring water .. here is a 16 day old grow

 

[volcomi18]

your prob right but I switched to using fox farm nutes instead of the Aerogarden ones. Mainly because I'm planning on building my own system my next grow this is kind of a learning experience since my garden was a gift. I do plan on using it for lowryder strains in the future. This is more of a hobby and chance to smoke a more diverse selection of bud, so the more little things I can do like check ph daily is fun to me. I'm rehabing two torn ligaments in my knee so getting out doing stuff is kinds hard so it helps with boredom. And i'm going to keep the name Volcom I could careless about wether or not they support growing I like Volcom jeans they r the only jeans I own. If I wanted my username to be abovetheinfluence (antidrug campaign) it would be and I'm pretty sure they dont support growing.

So I'm guessing you work for Volcom? This post has left me a bit confused..... You say they smoke weed but do not support growing it, well from who do they acquire their supply from? Seems a bit strange to endorse supporting local drug dealers rather than sprouting a seed. And what does this have to do with contributing to his aerogarden grow?

thanx, you have a nice point haha. I think I'm going to Volcom out my aerogarden with stickers. Hell might take a clone and cross breed it with my buddies orange crush and call it Volcom. No but really it's just a name.

any employee that smokes has to be mmj, unless they want to be fired for a fail'd drug test. Legal growing is different. Just get your own name, stop using a business as your grow name.. thats it.

cry me a river. I've had this username since I was like 15. It's just easy to stick with it. Not really using it as my grow name just a forum username. The only reason I'm even making this journal is for future references for future grows to see what I did right and wrong. And I'm sorry I live in Florida no mmj use I could get one if I lived in Cali for pain relief (torn acl & mcl).

theres a really nice skate park overin the warehouse although Im not currently employed, I still get the perks from working there. I eventually might go back after all the repossessed homes are occupied. Right now im making thousands off each.

today I picked up some fox farm beastie blooms and a light timer for 12/12 for later use. Tomorrow new pics/update. I didn't think they grew really until I just looked at last weeks pics.

Good looking plants...

Have you come up with a plan to keep the small?
Or are you going to let them fly?

My garden may have some suggestions...

Peace!

I'm planning on training them as soon as they hit the light for the first time and I will top them soon I'm not really too worried about height I plan on raising the hood past the 2 ft and adding extra cfls during flowering.
