Currently growing Green House Seeds Green-O-Matic in an aerogarden 7.
It about a foot tall and has about 2-3 inches to go but my aerogarden cant go any higher and do not have any money for the extension.
its about 5 weeks old and i been using the tomato seed kit nutes and its been working fine.
just on the lower fan leafs the 2 sets on the bottom the single blade and the three banger they are starting to wilt and get yellow and brown spots.
i'm wondering if im not giving it enough nutes or overfeeding it.
i cant give any pictures right now i will tomorrow but i would give rep for good advice.
currently giving it 2 5.5 mL nute packets for tomato seed kit.



also i will be running out of those nutes can i put BioThrive in there?
i got bloom and grow.

well im not sure about the ph i use sink water and it been fine i know its not the water. the spots started recently like a few days ago.
im not sure if its heat stress its in an open area.
the lights are pretty close it cant move any higher and it can only probably grow another inch or 2.
just the default AG grow bulbs
not sure what ppm's are im new to the whole hydro/aero water systems

Flush with ph'd water...water from the tap needs to sit for a day to remove chlorine and you still need to check the ph and back off on the nutes....I start 2 weeks from seed giving 1/4 strength and go up from there. As for lighting...cfl bulbs are cheap....2700k for flowering...

You're still gonna want to get a few more lights on that to produce heavier buds.:weed:

Nice little set-up you have there.:blsmoke:

That's really weird...I'm growing GOM in an aerogarden and it has really stopped growing vertically at about 20-24 inches in the 2nd week of flowering. I definitely think you need to add at LEAST 2 26W CFLs since it looks like your plant is stretching quite a bit.

Definitely supplement your light. Those aerogardens are neat, but they lack the lamp to git er done.

day 59 of the 60 day strain.
i know mine could have had better lighting but i was just using the aerogarden and letting it grow.
i can see most of the hairs are orange and im going to wait till they turn yellow or wilt before i chop it.

Hi guy. Just to get you going in the right direction. You want to get a Ph test kit. Below is a chart to show you what the right Ph is doing for you. Hydro is 5.8 and dirt growing is best at 6.5. You will also want to consider adding a air stone, and air pump. If you add the extra air bubbles. The roots will love it, and so will the rest of the plant.

Good luck, and don't give up.Peace
