so my sees finally arrived today after a long time of waiting. got like ten free and a wallet tho so its all good haha. time to take out the tomatoes and clean that baby out and grow something worth growing!! anyways i just put em in a ziploc bag for now wrapped in wet paper towels to germinate. as for my current setup its going to be the aerogarden pro200 with the stock lights for now, a airstone in the tank, and a temp gauge to keep an eye on it. i also have ph up/down a ph test kit and have used black gorilla tape to cover all unused holes . im also using white paper on top of the empty spaces to keep it cooler. well sorry for the long ass post but im baked. any help is appreciated

ok one of the seeds was big enough to plant so i put it in one of the sponges and put the little plastic cover over it for now, i have the two 6500k bulbs on as well as the aerogarden lights . i think im just going to run them all 24 hours a day until veg stage, maybe threw that also as the are short rider autoflowering seeds.

I think u only need the ag stock lights for a week or two... I have seen If u use extra cfls for your seedling you might end up causing some burnage on the leaves. Just a heads up. Good luck! im germing 2 blue mystics right now =)

Quick question please help !! So my sponges weren't gettig wet so I moved them closer tothe water drip thing. I'm assuming the water is supposed to run onto the sponge keeping it wet the whole time right???

right thats how it works.... I dont have a grow journal yet and someone stole my digital camera =( When the roots touch the water u want to turn of the ag pump and just use the lights and incorporate an airstone or 2. Or else your sponges will get mill dewey and get moldy... An u dont want that =)
