Hello everyone. This is gonna be my first Aerogrow but i have grow hydroponically in the passed. :peace:

My grow set-up is using the Standard Aerogarden (7 hole) with two deluxe bulbs inside a "Chest of Drawers" with the dimensions 2'(Length) x 1 1/2'(Width) x 3' (Height). I have actually cut my plug from the Aerogarden light setup and rewired it so that my lights could be placed on a timer. (IF YOU TRY THIS MAKE SURE TO ONLY CUT THE CORD EXTENDING FROM THE LIGHT);-) I also have a Co2 setup I have made from a Co2 bottle I jacked when i had worked at a restaurant. I have placed two bubble stones inside which in the passed i have seen some improved growth and higher yields over-all.

bongsmilie In the passed week I have noticed some yellowish-brown spots starting to appear on one of my plants (PICS BELOW), If anyone can give me some advice to maybe remedy the problem let me know.

Am limited with space but do not want this to limit my yield to some extent ... Any techniques for higher yield would be greatly appreciated....Am up for all IDEAS!

:eyesmoke:Have also Included a pic of the nutes... "General Hydroponics" Maxigrow and Maxibloom LOVE THE PRODUCT!

Oh yea... I forgot to mention, the fans that I have inside of the setup are only temporary and the lights as well. I plan on attaching the fans on the outside back panel and plan on experimenting with 4 LED panels.

4 LED Panels (EBAY):

225 Blue and Red LEDS each panel totaling 900 LEDS.

i have added nutes... thx for the replies i plan on keeping you posted for the learning purpose of this site.... Any techniques or ideas would be appreciated because honestly i have never grown with this tight of space (2' X 2' X 3') so i dont know exactly when i should switch to 12/12 or adding exact amount of nutes....

as far as the amount of nutes i am now using:
~ 2/3 teaspoon GH* Maxigrow
~1/3 teaspoon GH* Maxibloom

Thanx Flipity for the input on the nutes, i have been looking at the ultra grow series for some time but have not tried, the price just seems like it wouldnt work as great as some of the more expensive stuff you know... but hey it's not price that counts, it's quality.:joint:

I also have an update on the babies::peace:

I have been giving them nutes for about a week now and they seem to be thriving. There was a single plant though that had trouble rooting at first (as you can tell in the pictures it's the little retarded looking guy). Weird as it sounds, the plant didn't grow any initial roots. I had to get some root growth solution and actually dab it on the plant, which worked well.

CHECK OUT THE PICS ( 2 WKS OLD)::hump:

Thanx Seanery, airflow is def. key. I actually leave the growroom open to get fresh air for on average about 6 hrs. a day. I have just made it so when i do have it closed my intake/exhaust works prime. Also I have a home-made Co2 Diffuser which when I have the room closed for prolonged amount of times(Class, Work, Etc.) The plants are not starved for Co2.


At this point the plants are growing at a pretty fast pace. Every time i open the room they have grown with noticable difference. My only problem now is not to outgrow myself.:lol:

I am also started to smell the plants a little bit, so i am going to have to take care of that with a (DIY) carbon filter i will be making this weekend. If anyone is interested I can post several pics describing how to build this cheap inexpenseve carbon filter....:bigjoint:

Enjoy!:peace:
