Yea I saw MrAlex's 1st grow with just one plant and it was a monster. But I already had planted the three so... we will see. If it gets too crazy Ill axe one. One looks a lil bit weaker than the other 2 anyway.

I am going to use the stock AG nutes but have not used any yet.

I am on Day 3 since putting my 3 germed White Rhino seeds in my AG Deluxe. all seeds are feminized from marijuanaseeds.nl
I got the AG on a table in a medium sized closet with fans blowing to keep the temp down.
got a 6 in airstone providing my bubbles
Lights - I accidentally broke the middle AG hood grow bulb (opps) but im still using the other 2 stock bulbs in the AG hood.
I added 4 Dual spectrum II Vegetative CFL lights (85w 6500k each) that I got from Stealth Hydro
Im on 20/4 light schedule right now and will switch to 12/12 when I reach 11-13inches tall.
when I flower I will swap out the 4 vegetative CFLs for 4 Flowering CFLs (85w 3000k)
So far all 3 seeds are trying to peek out from the edge of the plant label. 1 seed is a lil slow and if things get too crowded it might get axed.
All questions and advise are welcome (except for the "dump the ag right now" comments. I have read the arguments for and against the ag)
Ill update with some new pix either later today or tomorrow.

Off to a sweet start! I am hunkering down and watching this thing grow!
Seems like you read up on what to do. Nicely done.
AG is fine. Its a fun tool to work with. Plus afterwards if you want to keep going,you make a DWC system and use the AG for tomatoes and other stuff. Thats the fun in it! Way go to man!
I found out the main thing is keeping that pH level constant.

Yea if my 2-3 turn out like your 1 Ill prolly jizz in my pants lol
Unfortunately I can tell you now your 3 won't turn out like cardinals because of how many you planted your plants will most likely be stunted due to lack of root space in the res, but you should have pretty good results but 3 plants in the AG is pushing it the res is just over a gallon(barely) so your 3 plants will most likely not reach their potential height and considering their not autoflowering plants you may have trouble with space all together because once you switch those puppies to 12/12 they grow like the plants did in jumanji, and don't take this the wrong way I'm not trying to put you down I'm just trying to be realistic, everything looks good so far though keep it up!

ey ninja... things arent looking so good for me, my plants looked really healthy in the first week but now my babies leaves are starting to turn yellow and curl. so i put some nutes in there to try to get the plants some nitrogen because i herd that its probably the problem. i also need to check the ph in the water or maybe just try putting new water in it. hey i was also wondering if that website actually sent you real seeds. what do you think? im using shitty seeds so if these ones die i wanted to have new dank ones.
there's your problem. Don't put ANY nutes in there for the first 1-2 weeks, after that start at very WEAK nutes, slowly moving up.
Too much nutes, too early, and your plants will get nute-burn, which is exactly what it sounds like youre describing

I would never let my plants go on straight water for 2 weeks in a hydro system without any nutes, NEVER

nah not put down it actually calms me a lil cause seeing his made me nervous
as far as yield. I dont care.... if yield was really serious i wouldnt be using the ag...I would have built a more efficient set up. 1/2 an oz per plant dried would be more than i need for personal use.
yea i know its gonna be a bitch keeping water in there when i go to flower. but its all good. thats part of the learning experience

thanks for the heads up on what you are going through. I just got a new camera and will be posting new update pics first thing in the morning after I get home from work.
yea marijuanaseeds.nl was real cool. I was nervous as hell order that crap online. I was gonna go with nirvana since they promote in on here but they wanted me to sign up and that did feel right to me.
I ordered 10 feminized White Rhino seeds and got them in exactly a week from the order day along wit 5 free seeds. I emailed them asking what they sent me and they said it was super silver haze. all 3 that I tried to germinate did so... good seeds so far.
delivery was quick & stealthy and they responded to my email within 20 mins. I recommend.

Im doing straight water until their leaves pop out of the seed shell only after reading several grow reports on white rhino about it being real sensitive to nutes. but im a rookie and dont know what im doing or what im talking about just playing around and seeing what will happen lol
Im 4 days in since poppin the germed seeds into the AG and havent had any problems yet. they seem to be enjoying the fresh water & the bright lights. nice and green so far no nutes.

HOLY CRAP!!!!
so I get home from work this morning, let my dog out and check on my baby girls and the middle one jumped out of the f-ing sponge.
WTF!!!!! i really dont know what to do or what I did wrong
. the other two are looking healthy...but shit the dumb ass in the middle looked healthy too
I kinda just placed it back into the sponge. lol
She couldnt have been out for too long cause she was fine @ midnight and I found her at about 7am. she still looks green and just shed her seed cap. Im at a loss for words What should I do to try to get her in there and rooted? or should I just say f-it and stick with the other 2 that are at the farthest sides of the AG?
last 2 pics are of the 2 on the sides of the AG

I got 4 CFLs and the AG hood....couldnt figure out how to put my bulbs over the plants
Agreed completely about the yield thing, I too am growing in the AG and as long as I get something out of the grow I will consider it a success, as far as your plant jumpin outta the sponge, I've never seen that before that's crazy!nah not put down it actually calms me a lil cause seeing his made me nervous

Ok so I took a nap and that middle plant does not seem to be re-rooting. and on top of that the plant on the right (pic # 4) seems to have yellow tips on its leaves. I have to wait till tomorrow to test the PH cause the test kit I bought is useless (6.0-7.0) and i had to order the right one from online. Temps have been hovering between 70-85 , lights off temps drop to 65 sometimes. Like I said I have not used any nutes at this stage.
Should I just wait till tomorrow and just test the PH? or should I just go ahead and add some nutes?
Please let me know what yall think I should do I got one plant that prolly killed it self, one runt, & my healthiest plant has yellow tips and this is all from last night.

Your healthiest definately sounds like a ph problem especially since you haven't added nutes, so I would wait til you get your ph kit test it adjust and then add nutes after you get that fixed or else the nutes won't do anything cause you can lock nutrients out of your plant if your ph isn't right.
