You are not the first grower to get the cart out in front of the horse. Extra pressure for sure. I am sure of a happy ending. C'mon delivery guy.

It's not the delivery guy..I think my friend that bought me the aero got jipped..I hope not though considering I'll have to transplant some to soil if the damn thing doesn't show up soon...

OMG....so apparently the guy off ebay that sold my friend the Aerogarden used it to grow...guess what. Well, the dumbass didn't take the time to CLEAN the Aerogarden before shipping it out and it set some drug dogs off which is why shipping took so damn long. Anyhoo, it FINALLY gets here, I've lost 3 plants due to a mixture of my cat, dog, and just some damn bad luck. IT'S NOT THE RIGHT FUCKING MODEL!!!! The asshole on ebay advertised the WRONG MODEL! And LIED to my friend because I had told him what to ask to make sure it was the RIGHT model. The guy lied and said it was an Aerogarden 200 Pro. Nope. It's one of the ORIGINAL Aerogardens, like back before the Aerogarden lights were flat original. This all wouldn't be such a big deal if I didn't need the light arm to extend to 24" or the fact that it doesn't have built in baskets...so it can't hold my plants because I don't use the stupid Aerogarden pods. On top of this, one of the lights broke during shipping and the bulbs have OBVIOUSLY never been changed..like..the remaining bulb is on and it's barely producing any light. Currently I have jerry rigged it to hold my plants by wrapping the rockwool with wire and suspending them in the pod hole openings. For some reason my light timer isn't working, so I'm trying to put them in 12/12 but the timer isn't turning them on and off and I can't figure out why. I've moved the plants to my closet so that they can have the total darkness they need for 12/12 flowering.

Anyhoo...pics...I have my 2 biggest plants in my Pro 200 Model because they clearly need the room and height:

This crappy white model that ebay asshole shipped out is holding my plants that aren't doing as well. The really short one is actually from a bigger plant my dog destroyed, but I managed to save a clone of it. The middle one has been growing really slowly due to lack of light, and the other plant is just really droopy and not happy:

And before anyone says it, I know I need to close the remaining holes so light isn't getting the reservoir. Already doing it. I JUST set-up the shit Aerogarden and transferred the plants, now to close the remaining holes...

looks good man. i currently have an aerogarden 200 and it is working miracles. i started with three plants, one was a male, another was a hermie that i executed yesterday and the third is a beautiful female that is completely covered in crystals and has 4 main colas on it. she just hit her one month anniversary yesterday and i plan on giving her another month of 12/12. from what ive learned with this grow is that you need to keep an eye on your pump. aerogarden pumps go out very easily so you should keep that in mind. i checked and i think you can buy a new on for $10 if that happens. also, my main colas are shoots from the bottom few nodes. i would recommend that you trim the lower shoots and allow the ones closer towards the top produce your thick buds. one last thing, when i had three plants in and started flowering they were a little crammed. once i removed the male i realized that there was no way possible to fit 3 budding plants in an areogarden, at least comfortably. one i removed the hermie my baby girl took center stage and i can already tell how much she loves it. although it may be hard for you to "thin out" one of your girls, i would strongly recommend that you just have your 2 best plants in the aerogarden as it will allow those two to get what they need. all in all, great looking grow thus far. keep us updated and ill let you know how much my nugs grow in these last 4 weeks.

It looks like you have been dealing with adversity from the start. Way to stick to it no matter what. EBAY is not always the answer. I only by brand new stuff from there especially if it is for my grow. +rep for lessons learned the hard way.

ebay is not a good place. i have ripped off lots of people for my own benefit. i made a couple thousand dollars of junk shit b/c of false advertising. it is very very easy to rip people off. there are almost zero reputcusions for it too. i have also been ripped off on ebay. i like to get on there and look but i have learned my lesson about ebay and i just will not purchase n e thing from there.

also i saw someone reccomned to trim the undergrowth. i woulnt do that imo. every leafe is very very valuable and it pisses me of when u see (not nubes) but dumbasses who obviously no NOTHING about plants in general. you dont have to harvest yoour plant all at once either. if the top colas are finished clip the but allow the undergrowth to keep budding. that way you get fat top colas and fat bottom colas!

your plants look great even though the cat and dog got ahold of them.

Yes, being ripped off sucks, has happened to me more than once now. I've also ripped people off and felt like shit about it so I made it right. Anyhoo, I trimmed my plants, but not all the undergrowth xD, I had to trim a few of the huge leaves because they were shadowing the undergrowth too much. A healthy plant is one that has even vegetation :). My timer started working again, so in a couple weeks I'll finally know what gender(s) I'm dealing with :D!!
