I think you may have feed them too early and they were burned. You switched to regular water like it should be for the first 2 weeks and they are recovering. To avoid ph/ppm/temp meters just use distilled water from the store. Do not feet at all for first 2 weeks unless they show deficiencies and then only feed a 1/4 of a tablet to start out and then slowly increase every week. And also clean your reservoir every week. There is a section for Aerogardens on this site. https://www.rollitup.org/aerogardeners/

I too started in an Aerogarden.
 
thanks guys, I appreciate the advice.

They are still alive, I added a couple lights (1 2700k and 1 photosynthesis bulb t8) figured it might help to have all spectrums. Going to invest in a ph kit asap. Also going to invest in an air pump and feed into areogarden. Not using any nutes right now, a week ago I used a little of the "Fox farm Grow Big" but thats it and I read up and think this is only for soil use so I'll have to buy some new nutes. I am going to switch these all to a hydro setup in 5 gallon buckets. I think I have some nutes that came with the aerogarden but didnt know if they were compatible for weed plants.

Get Botanicare's Pure Blend Pro and a quart of Calmag, follow label instructions which are fool proof and you're done. Of course keeping in range your temps and ph.

I think the aerogarden SUCKSSSS, sorry but I actually know how to properly feed and adjust pH and I couldn't get a clone to stay alive or even a seedling..

stfu!!! I hate to read crybabys!
It's alright. I don't need you anyway. One less douche on my reader list. Check.

Edit:
Yeah, hey, look... I was gonna delete that shit, but decided to amend it instead. I typed it so I'll let it stand, guilty as charged.

Sorry to the op for being so harsh. That was uncalled for. And sorry to this guy too for calling you a douche. I admit it, I am a crybaby sometimes. Happy Holidayz...
 
ok so they are still going strong, one of them is one of the healthiest looking plants I've seen in a while. Still no nutes, I was looking into the nutes you said (botainicare). But I also found recently that I have a brand new quart of Fox Farm Grow Big Hydroponic. When should I start using this? temp is perfect, right around 71. Ph is good as well.
How long should I wait before transplanting to actual hydro setups (5 gallon bucket, hydroton)

Found a seed of Blue Dream in some bud I was smoking, barely burnt the seed before I found it in my bowl...trying to germinate it..we will see
 
what is a good reliable digital PH Tester to use for hydroponics? I've searched all over amazon and they all have mixed reviews unless I spend $80+

another question is, will I be able to transfer these plants no problems or will the roots grow together in the aerogarden? I'll post a pic of the roots, they are growing like crazy

I can't find any reliable one.. Hanna's would work about a year before the probe goes crazy, 2 tops if you treat it right.. I wanna be wrong about this one ans would like to know other experiences as well on this subject.
