I know you guys are not 'inclined' to say how discreet the packaging is, eg (envelope or box) but Would it really make a difference i mean you lot always make reference to the websytes you get it from so how would describing the packaging make a difference if the feds wanted to do something about it they would bust the owners of the websyte.

Wow, great thread. I just got started with my AG and was about to buy fox farm nutes, but now think I will just go buy some ag nutes.
I will have to do a fun little journal as well.
Thanks Dave, also a couple pictures you took have a picture of you and your girl on them. It's in the background, but you can make it out a little. Just letting you know if you care. They are the pictures that have the refrig in the back.

Ok sorry if im repeating i searched for the answer but to no avail. When you switched your AG to 12 12 what do you do with the pump (the aerogarden's not the bubbler stone)

yea that does suck, iv just had mine on the tomato setting with the lights on 12/12 i think it run 18/6 but im using rockwool and it doesnt seem to dry out to fast
Hey dave,
Im a newbie to growing too, and i read one of your posts (https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/34120-daves-aerogarden-grow-pics-3.html) that said you used the nutes (i assume this means nutrients--see, i am ruly a newbie) that came with the AG. Like the title says, im 19 days into growing and so far have just been using just the stuff that came with the ag, except i did cover the surrounding walls in my closet with tinfoil. some more background info: ivev been using the 18/6 cycle; i used 2 of the small tabs when i first put the germinated seeds in the ag, and then 2 more after 2 weeks. Also, as i have the agpro200, the lmap hood extends to approx 2ft from the cover of the resovoir. Ive been reading a lot of posts in the grow faq, and since there are so many ways to grow, i am confused lol. Since i am a newbie, im not trying to invest a lot into growing yet, but will def do what it takes to get decent (smokable) results. Lastly, the seeds im using were ones that i got in bags throughout the last couple months (i didnt purchase them from a website) so i dont know what strain they are or anything
I have a couple questions: sincethe plants have been on the 18/6 cycle for 2 weeks already, do you think it would harm the plants if i tried to speed up the veging process by switching up to 24/0?? Along the same lines as that, could i add the extra bulbs (4 cfl's) now, or will it disrupt the process?
thanks so much man, as you can see i need all the help i can get.
peace
oh yeah, go sox

have the plants sprouted yet?
i ran mine 24 hours everyday from the start until i was ready to flower, then i went straight 12/12...
extra light is never a bad thing, so add what ever you can.
and aluminum foil really aint a good reflector, i bought mylar like shit for my walls. it cost 1.99 at walmart and it works good, its in the camping section and its called a thermal heat blanket, they work good. just dont ever nute them man, if you read through this thread then you can see my feeding routine... good luck

sup guys i have an AG set up exactly like Dave's. i put my AG on 24 hour lighting and then hooked the AG up to a timer so i can get true 12/12 lighting. My air pump is on 24/7 so the roots arnt deprived of O2. The AG is good for Veg and clones but for flowering, thats questionable. what i do is keep a mother plant on the AG in one box and in a different box i have a set up with 400w HPS (standard hydro set up). the mother has been goin stong for about 6 months now! i get a good harvest every few months doing it this way. i should have pics up soon but dont have a camera haha.

hey there,
switching to 24 hour lighting will not harm the plant (im pretty sure) ive actually cut a clone off a plant that was in the flowering stage and put itunder 24 hour lighting. this forces the plant to revert to the veg stage. and yes get more lights! more the better. get light closer to the blue spec for veg and red spec for flowering. if you can get a HPS for the Flowering stages that would be the best. way higher yields! i bought mine for $150 for everything(used) at my local hydro store.

i have one plant that is about 4.5 inches tall after just over 3 weeks..im goin to wally world now to get some cfl's and that thermal blanket thing..one question tho--you say dont nute at all?? i must be misunderstanding you. i went back and i thought i read through all the posts but the only thing i could find about feeding was in the link that was in my original post where you said you just used the nutes that came with the ag..could you clarify a bit?? thanks man, and sorry for so many questions, just tryin to learn
also, i'd give you prop's or points or w/e it is but i dont kno how to lol

no, use the nutes. just use half of what your supposed to... i nuted every 2 weeks i believe(its been a while i dont really remember) , and when i fed them i changed the water too.... thats what cost me the most in the whole grow was buying distilled water for every change.....

there should be specifications on the package but if not just ask someone who is knowledgable with that sort of things. all i know is that HID has more blue and HPS had more red.

Had bad luck with the pump, so several tries later with a break for summer travel, here we have some petunias and 1 very nice, healthy Gypsy Nirvana plant. Keepin' my fingers crossed for it to be a sweet sweet girl.
I was having such a hard time getting the plants stable and producing, so just for "mineshaft canary" purposes, I planted petunias in the aero. I don't know the science of it, but the combination actually seems to help reduce nute burn and help the herb grow better.

She's about 1 month old. Here's my problem, over the last few days she's grown quite a bit, (had to raise the lights twice) is getting pretty leggy and no signs of preflowers yet that I can tell.
I know I'm going to run out of space. I have a small closet in the basement I can covert and I'd like suggestions on low low cost lighting.. as in the kind that an unemployed person can afford and can be gotten at Fred Meyer

yeah that would be a waste of a nice plant to not get proper lights. well CFLs are pretty low cost but u might need a few of them for one plant. there are HPS kits (balast, bulb, reflector) on ebay for about 80 bucks i think. the plant will pay for itself if u get HPS cause u will get a way higher yield. id go HPS but if its too much then go with a few CFL. Also, be carful and keep an eye on the root ball. one of mine had a huge root ball and i had to force it out of the AG, it fucked my shit up.She's about 1 month old.
