Yes however you could only do Lowryders however if you are going to grow it in a Aerogarden make sure you get "The Classic Aerogarden" because it is much taller.

Yes you can. That being said, you're not going to get a lot of weed out of it. I have one (see my journal below) and I'm happy with it. It's my first grow so the AG is great for learning. If I had it to do over again I might have gotten the Stealth Hydro Bubbleponics system SH Hydroponics, Inc. but the AG is great to learn in because it's so simple for an aeroponic grow.
I really depends on how much you need. I only need enough to keep myself happy so it's perfect for right now.

I think you want the Deluxe Aerogarden (24" tall). You can do other strains besides Lowryder but you'll need to start blooming much earlier. I'm growing Northern Lights but my plant is only about 18-20" tall right now. Once you start the bloom your plant will double or triple in size so that's something to keep in mind.
whulkamania is right though, Lowryders would be perfect for the AG. Small, auto flowering, and fast. That's my next grow for sure.

LOL nope. for about $50 more than the AG you could get this SH Hydroponics, Inc. > Multi Spectrum Bubbleponics Complete Kit
but it would require more space. Seems pretty simple to use though.

The Deluxe looks better however is it necessary to spend the extra money when we know for sure Lowryders are short?
Better be safe than sorry so go with the deluxe.

I think LR can still get 24" so the Deluxe would be a good idea. You're also going to need some additional lights so be prepared for that expense too.

STOP!!! I agree that the ads look great; that's why I bought their system. Do a little research and you'll find that SH sells crap - especially the hydro unit. I lost my first 15 plants to this piece of crap - not to mention all the nutes, wasted lighting energy and love I put into the grow. Stealth Hydro SUCKS!

Ever notice how when something goes wrong the person blames it on the company?
Ever think maybe YOU fucked up the grow?

What do you recommend as an alternative? I'm still an newb so feedback is much appreciated.

There are several ways to go; just don't use this particular one. Do some research on here and find something (else) that suits you. Go to the hydro section and look at peeps grow journals and see what they used; there are some impressive grows being done by some here. There is NFT, DWC, and any number of variants on hydro. Sorry to burst your bubble; I just hate to see someone else waste their money on a worthless system like I did.

Quick question can you plant the aerogarden nutes in dirt, and have it work that way to???

You are way outta wack ..
all you need to do is top your plants early and tie them down some..
and the aerogarden Classic is the lowest one .. you need a pro 100 with the deluxe light upgrade Or the pro 200
Here read this and then decide

Vette's the AG master. Read his thread for sure.
I'm growing Northern Lights with no problems. I didn't even need to top it. I just started the bloom early. Listen to Vette though, he's got the shnizz going. Good to see some great looking grows with the AG. There seems to be a lot of AG haters on these boards. I'm not trying to grow a pound of weed so the AG seems to be working out nicely for me.

No, they're really designed for a hydroponic grow.
