First AeroGarden Grow!

I also added the 2700k cfls totalling 150w (actual wattage, not equiv) in around day 14 of actual flowering, prior to then there was only the stock AG bulbs, which would probably explain the slow development. I have been using distilled water and added 3 large AG nute tabs per gallon of water, for the last 2 weeks. I flushed the old water and cleaned the resevoir and also added an extra airline which has shown to be an advantage.

lookin good about how tall is she?

she is just under 3.5ft

alright so here is an update. it's approximately day 36 of flowering. Temps are averaging around 80F/45-55% humidity during the day and 73F/55-60% humidity at night, Soon I will lower the temps around 5 degree to help get some thicker buds. I have been super cropping the plant because i have the lights raised up all the way and the plant would be about 6 inches taller if i didnt super crop.

Anyways, the plant is starting to smell skunky and the buds that are growing in smell soo fruity if i get my nose close. haha. For this being an apartment grow I have had minimal odor issues. I use this stuff called FreshWave which is an all natural odor absorber, its about 15 dollars a jar and last around 60 days if there isn't tooooo much air movement, it evaporates and leaves the odor molecules in the bottom completely odorless. It contains 100% plant materials and is made with a polymer food base. It is safe for humans and animals. you can literally eat it and it will cause no harm. they also carry a whole line including spray, additives, carpet shakes, candles, sachets. all having the same ingredients and there is also no chemicals used to transition to different forms. basically this stuff is amazing and kills any odor without masking it with a fragrance.

I do have some leaves with burn spots from hotspots. but I eliminated the homemade reflector that was causing the issue.

Really nice looking plants!

yeah looks really good man

Lookin good.

lookin real good man...

Excellent man. Your putting my first ag grow to shame lol. Subscribed.

hahah thanks guys. and BluCat this is only one plant lol. Everyone wish me luck I have an inspection for Radon gases today. I'll have to have the lights off for about a half hour. Just hope nothing is wrong and everything goes smooth. I hate living in apartments where they only give you a 24 hour notice before they enter your homes!

ok so its been 73 days of flowering, I haven't had much bud development due to pH issues and ppm levels being off constantly, I have purchased both a ppm meter and a pH test kit, I just believe it was too late in flowering for it to be entirely effective. I have been using dutchmater one for the last 3 weeks. I am going to harvest in about 6 days after i flush with water starting last night. If anyone has any opinions let me know because it seems the plant isn't near the end of its life but it hasn't developed much, I do not have a nitrogen defiecieny like most plants would at this time. I do not have a microscope or have the ability to obtain one at this time to check trichome color. here is some pics of the plant around day 70 of flowering. I had also only vegged for 1 week then switched to flowering.. could this prolong the flowering stage? I do believe that the leafiness of the plant is due to the CFL's.

Lookin good. I think it is too early to harvest. You should give them more time to fatten up.

Damn, those buds are looking good.

Looks like another 2 weeks to me.....

ok so i decided to wait a week and harvested four days ago, I got 32 grams dried.. and that is not including the popcorn lower buds i trimmed off for the use of making hash. not bad for cfls, and according to you guys i could of went longer but i didnt really want to flower for like 90 days. i was already at 75 days of flowering(since i seen sex) and 90 days of 12/12. I have to say that the samples i had taken from the curing bud are absolutely amazing. the bud isnt as dense i would have liked it to be but overall the bud is really good and it is honestly better than most 50 an eighth stuff i've been buying lately. Ill post pics here in a few of the yeild.

Hell yeah man. I hope you took a bunch of harvest pics. Im a few weeks behind you.
