Setup: Stocke Aerogarden Classic w/ aquarium pump & airstone, mylar survival blanket, and general hydroponics florabloom and floragrow. extra 50w cfl w/ reflector for flowering and vitalsine ph tester in the mail on the way.

i planted 7 seeds from maybe 4 different bags of funk from the last month last friday after doing a test run with a male for 2 months to get the whole aerogarden grow thing down. as of this morning, 5/7 are out of the domes, while 1 didn't germ and came up thyme (didn't get all the seeds out of that pod i guess), and 1 didn't germ so i dropped another seed into it on sunday.

i'm running on tomato setting until they're old enough to top, then i'm going to wait a week or 2 and flower with the new light and the stock light.

i started with the stock aerogarden nute tabs and am waiting until week 2 to start the floragrow. i'm keeping it at a steady 80 degrees on the grow surface so far. i live in the states so i'm kind of sketch about puttin up pics, but once i get something more than sprouts, i'll post. any and all input is greatly welcome. thanks and stay tuned...

hey, has anyone ever considered being able to tell a male from a sprout by the fact that it's more spindly and taller than the others that popped at the exact same time? just curious b/c the last one, which was male looked just like one i have now that's way tall than the others.

I'm not sure but I have heard that males tend to grow faster then females, but you always have to try to have a good ratio, I'm going to germ 5 seeds when I start to get at least a 50/50 chance bongsmilie

No it really dont make a difference how things go this early. Once they get bigger its how they take to there environment which really factors the sex of the plant. Also an overstressed plant more than usual turns out male as well. At least in my experience it always turns out that way.

yea I said I wasn't sure haha, it was somthimg I have heard, over stressed plants do turn out male, and the conditions do factor but it's still basically a crap shoot

hah, nice! I just started my new grow journal on sort of this same kind of test.. crappy bagseed.. you went aeroponic.. I went hydro.. it should be interesting seeing how 'funk' grows in a decent environment.. do you have any idea what strain they could possibly be?

what do you guys think of using a screen on the ag? i was thinking maybe put one up almost to the highest reach of the light so that the plants bush out. just looking for opinions. thanks!

you can give +Rep to anyone at anytime, it only makes you wait when you have already gave some 1 a +rep, it make you spead some around before you five rep to a person again, I made a basic grow sheet, i'll post it in here for refrence, it is in the AG Club Thread,


AEROGARDEN GROW SHEET
:leaf: BY "SICC" :leaf:​


light hours:​


1. 27/0 for seedlings
2. 18/6 for vegging
3. 1212 for flowering​



Grow Time:​


3-4 weeks vegging
9-12 weeks flowering​


Lighting:​


Stock AG lights for vegging. Add additional CLF's, total of 8-12 should be added throughout the veg-flowering stages. Connect a figure 8 cord (found at radio shack, or PS2 cable) to a timer to control light schedual. you can also change the settings to tomatoes. Daylight, blue spectrum for veggings, and softwhite, red spectrum for flowering. Mix of two should be placed throughout grow. or you can invest in an HSP/MH to set up, cheaper and better, but either is good :razz:​


Nutrients:​


Stock AG nuet tablets, 2 small tabs every two weeks, 1 big tab every two weeks. Or you can do 1 small tab every week for 8 weeks, last 2 weeks stop using tabs flushing before harvest. Dont using nutes until the plant is about 2 weeks old from the time the seeds were transplanted into the AG. Or you can use the Fox Farm line up, they have there own feeding schedule.​


Preparation:​


Fill to brim of AG, past the "fill to here" marker, once in flowering, the plants will triple in size and drink alot of water. Place and Airstone into AG, cover any unused grow spots, blocking any light from reaching the roots. Have a fan to keep rez water at a cool temp, and to strengthen the stem. A thermometer for proper temperature, and a PH tester. paper towel germination. Your plants will show sex after you put them into flowering, will show within the first month or about 14 days.​



:leaf: END :leaf:​

they're a week old as of yesterday. 4 healthy, tall seedlings, and 1 short, stout seedling that i may have to pull unless it can keep up. maybe i'll do lst to the rest of them so the little one can catch up? got floramicro in the mail, so next friday i can start my "aggressive vegging" stage according to general hydro. got my light and reflector in today as well. killer set up. can't wait to start flowering. i'll get some pics up in the next day or two...

on another note, buddy of mine harvested his white widow aergoarden grow today. 3 plants, 4 oz. wet. most beautiful thing he had ever seen he said.
