Hello All! This is my first thread and post here at rollitup. I just started growing in my aerogarden and honestly have no clue as to what im doing. Ive been using the stock lights as well as the nutes that come with it. i grew up to 5 leaves on the herbs setting and then switched to flowering. i also have no clue as to what seeds these are. You can say it, im a noob when it comes to this sort of thing. Tips, advise, comments?

You need to think of what you are doing now an experiment and the goal is to learn as much as you can from it. Briefly, which AG do you have? If not a 3 bulb light it isn't so good and will need more light later. The AG nutes are not very good either, use them sparingly 1/4 to 1/2 the recommended. Put it on tomato setting and run the lights 24 hrs till they show sex.

I had problems with the AG and am getting away from it. Tank is too small, pH fluctuates wildly. If you do a serious AG grow you need sidelights, pH control, better nutes, and you should start with an autoflowering strain for small size, pre-fem is a big plus. Two plants max in an AG so you want them both to grow and be fem.

Read the FAQ at the top of the AG threads...do what that tells you and you should be fine. Plant looks nice n healthy so far, but if you don't do anything else...aka add lights, airstones, nutes....your gunna run into problems

oh and I see a miracle grow bottle....BAD BAD will cause ph problems and a list of others...don't do it. I use the foxfarms line...its amazing.

alright, just read the FAQ. going to get a cfl to add between the other 2 lights. Thanks for the help so far guys, i appreciate it.
