what do you guys think the limit is, i know i cant have all 7 slots filled up, and i know my roots will get bigger, but how do you decide whats too much????? i have enough lights but i think not enough room, in the reservoir that is
I would go 1 fem or auto and that 1 will do better or about the same yield as all 7 pods!

I started 3 plants in the extra LED 7 pod. 1 fem northern lights & 2 reg. Afghan were doing great till 1 of the Afghan reg turned male removed immediately now just 2 plants in unit at last water change this morning I removed top cover and roots were full but didn't look overcrowded I would say 3 should be max but 1-2 is probably better

So, I just got a new AeroGarden Harvest Touch. I have been doing a ton of research into how to use these to grow some MJ, but I wanted to check in this thread and see if any light supplementation is needed? This new model has a touch screen with built in timer and light controls. I am planning on getting the DIY blank seed pods for my seeds, a PH testing Kit, and an air stone for the reservoir. Any tips or recommendations are appreciated!@

I learned about hydroponics from growing northern lights in my aerogarden extra led. The only thing i added was an external air pump with a couple stones in res. I did a water change every week. Id use a nutrient package to start after ph test and fix kit. I started out with a recipe for success promo starter kit from technaflora. Around 30 bucks on amazon and enough nutes for about 6 plants a full season. I also added 6 cfl bulbs around sides while growing. I also added the mylar light boosters. As plants grew too tall i used those sticky hooks from 3M and disconnected unit led light and hung from ceiling first batch gave me a yield of 3.32oz from one plant. One plant is about the limit for an aerogarden i tried 2 another time and still ended up with same yield not enough room in rootzone for more than one.
Ive since moved on to building hydro systems.
I currently use a super recirculating deep water culture system for 4 plants in 5 gal buckets but im switching to 8 gal buckets now.
Good luck growing.
Find a good growing source
I personally recommend grow weed easy dot com youll find anything you need there great place for beginners and long time growers alike.
Theres a ton of info here on this site you just have to look.
Heres a look at my system. I use now.
Again good luck and dont get discouraged best advice i can give is check your nutes and ph everyday since its a small resivour its easy to get out of control.

Whats happening to myAuto royal dwarf. I just changed reservoir with new nutes Dyna grow foliar pro Dyna grow kln root concentrate and pro Tek with half teaspoon of great white root stimulator. Ppms are 420s.she popped in 2 days on pH water and the AG Liquid food one teaspoon per gallon, ppms were 375. I added another 120 watt LED light but I Putin the wrong one ( had 2) and was too bright and too close so it made her droopy so I took it out added new water new nutes and I have been struggling to get her back on track and her lower leaves are dying and turning yellow

What's wrong with her? I added another light I used bf and it was too close and stressed her at day 11 so I turned it off and she started looking color day after so I changed reservoir with pH distilled water and great white root enhancer, dynagrow root kln proTek and dynagrow foliar pro ppm is 368. With air pump running airstone. Plus I just got the black hole covers so this will be first night the water is covered completely I had the empty net cup it came with in to cover some of the light. I think it should pick up by morning.roots look great.

No. These things are not good for growing cannabis. They're overpriced and not worth buying.
i have a similar unit called a power plant mini (no light). it fits 3 rapid rooters and is the best seed starting method i've ever tried.

but yeah, to grow anything of any size, they aren't good.
 
Check out my grow in my sig labeled "AG - Round 2". Just finished it up. Check out the AeroGarden outlet before you buy, they are usually cheaper. Also, check out stealthhydro.com for an alternative idea that will give you bigger results.
I have been working alot with ultrasonics and wondering about using the transducers from the ultrsonic mistmakers as droplet size seems smaller and is electrically more economical and may even stop bacterial growth
