Hello all,
I am growing a few local strains of killer bud, I currently have 19 sprout's had a few here and there that didn't make it out of the original 22. I am going to be growing them in my Botanicare Turbogarden Aero. They are 15 day's old from seed and are all doing well, as for lighting I am useing a few CFL's and have a HPS for when they get a little larger. Picture quality isn't the greatest is from a camera phone. Also this is the first time I have used Aeroponics so any input would be greatly appreciated and I look foward to your comments.

Nice setup. I have the turbogarden and it is simply amazing. Check out my thread and you might want to think about how many plants youre going to have in the end. My system got real crowded real fast. I ended up with 8 females and now I have wall to wall canopy. I vegged for about 35 days and when I started flowering they were all almost 3' tall. Well Good luck with your grow!
 
Thanks for the advice glad to see someone else with the turbogarden, its a damn nice machine. I too was concerned about them getting crowed but though I would tie them and bend them a little idk just an idea.
 
So here's a little update they are 3 wk's now and I'm going to transfer them over to my turbogarden :hump:

looking good and healthy. So whats going to be your plan of attack? Are you going to squeeze in a bunch of small, single-cola plants, or go for a few monsters?
 
I truely haven't decided, tomarrow i'm going to flush and maybe set up my little dripper tray that should hold about 4 plants, i'm thinking the strongest will make it or someone is getting a plant for christmas !!! lol

Just a quick update, had a few problem's with high temp's (got that taken care of) also bumped my nutrient strength up to 50% which they didn't take too well, so next change I am going to change to 1/3 strength.
