a few things:
1) nice grow man, looking great
2) i realized u used foil to cover up the unused pods. aluminum foil can cause hot spots. if u havent had a problem then it may be fine, but if something goes wrong keep that in mind
3) do u use one nute a day?if not, how often do u put in a nute

Thanks for the feedback guys! Yeah ive been using aluminum for a few weeks now it hasnt had any negative effects on the plants, and for the nutes i've been putting 2 small tabs in every 2 weeks.

Should i be able to tell if they are male or female yet?

do you put one in a week or two at a time in two weeks. u should be able to know if they are female soon if not now.

About 2 weeks after you switch the light to 12/12 you should be able to tell, remeber the last two weeks before harvest dont use any nutes so you can flush out the plants, In the old growing books they actually recomend using tin foil, if you smooth it out with no winkles it should be fine, it just that the security blankets with the mylar work alot better

only using the AG nutes thus far, have been using 2 at a time every 2 weeks, letting them desolve into the water im feeding them


what are the early signs of budding?? and (god forbid) if they are male are they of any use?? ive gotten mixed reviews on what to or what not to do. I've been looking for Female indicators.. I do see lots of pistals on all the plants but no balls and no real hairs. i'll post new pics tonight.

If your using the small tabs. use 1 a week for 9 weeks. if your using the big tabs use 1 every 2 weeks.

if their males get them out as fast as you can :!:

sorry for not posting hte pics last night guys i dont know what i was thinking i had a small catastrophe yesterday those 2 large nutes actually ended up locking up/drooping my plants.. so i spent a good hour flushing them. they look better this morning, pics inc today. Also i keep hearing that drooping plants are a sign of overwatering.. But how can you over water a hydro plant??? lol :confused:

Hi

First of all great thread, I'm hooked. As a noob looking to start with the aerogarden this as been a great thread to follow what I should be doing step for step, so first of all thanks for all who have contributed.

Secondly sort of jumping the gun a bit as I have long way to go till I get to this stage! But once you have harvested the buds how long is it till the plant is ready to go through a 12/12 cycle again? So basicallly what I'mm asking is with a mture plant can you continue with the 12/12 cycle forever and just harvest the buds when ready or is there a process I need to go through to prepare the plant for flowering again.

And just out of interest as anyone in th uk ordered before from picknmixseeds.co.uk ?

I've ordered some feminised seeds - 1 x skunk#1, 1 x Wonder Woman, 1 x Dutch Delight. Any feedback on these?

thanks again

MD
