Im a newbie and this is my first grow. I purchased an aerogarden with the hopes of making it simple. It is housed is a 40" tall, 30" wide and 18" deep painted white closet with exhaust fans.
I planted 6 northern lights seeds that had germinated and I now have 3 strong plants and 2 not so strong plants growning 18/6 under the aerogarden classic lights and 2 suppplemental cfls.
This is my goal: I want to keep it simple and I want to maximize my chances for a successful grow. This is my question: the roots of the 3 strongest plants already are getting pretty long (10 inches in some cases) and I am wondering if I am better off sticking my 3 strong candidates in a single waterfarm. Based on my reading, it seems like the real problem with the aerogarden is the size of the resovoire (about 1 gallan). I guess I don't want to turn to flowering in a couple weeks and kill the crop because the roots have no where to go.
I don't mind the $50 for the waterfarm...im already in it for a few hundred $. The question now is what increases my potential for success.
Thanks
