I think Al B Fuct uses the canna line but he is only harvesting about three pounds a month, from a 10' by 10 room. Every month. He has a how to, is not called that, Get a Harvest Every Two Weeks VV

I am new to growing and using the Aerogarden for cherry tomatoes. Its worked pretty well without much fuss. My question is: I've been turning the light off at night to give it the 12/12 hours for flowering. I'm in my middle to last stages of flowering and I have to go away for a week. I don't have anyone to come and turn it off. Will a 16.5/7.5 hour light schedule ruin anything for about a week? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, with 3 posts asking about Canna nutes, which I've never used, I must ask, have you checked their website? That's where you'll find their feed chart.

And an aerogarden light cycle question for tomatoes, I can't imagine that a tomato plant is photoperiodic, so I have no idea.

Hey purpdaddly, you've got the canna nutes, so use them. If the website doesn't have a feeding regimen, then ask the store. If all else fails, read the label, and use half of what it says.

Your plants look fine, much too stretched from too little light, but healthy. Your main problem is you are using an aerogarden.

HTH :mrgreen:

I used to hang out at CW and OG-----great loss of archived info when those sites went down.

Dycans----nice to see you're still around----ever run across my friends Lucas and ph?

Didn't read this thread all the way through but I'll add a little now:

1) minimum 25 gallons per 1K of lighting. Obviously---- how often you flush depends on rez volume.

2) keep your nutes below 75f and moving-----doesn't have to be constant--I run aero in 10' x 6" tubes with microjet sprayers and NO MEDIUM TO DEAL WITH. Here in the hot south I'm forced to run a 1/4hp chiller to keep nutes around 70f-----will throw up some pics if any interest.

3) Eliminate everything in life that ain't fun (as much as possible).

A~~

my rez has been holding at about 80f. should I worry about it any? should I think about investing money in bringing it down to 70-75f? my plants are doing ok, but if it would help them, I'll do it. no problem with root rot. roots are looking great :D
