I own four aerogardens but just grow tomatoes and peppers with them. All of mine are ag6 elite plus models. they are based off of the air pump design, but they need an extra pump to really get the water moving. Definitely get some side lighting with the best cfls you can get.
Growing veggies Gives me an excuse to have all the growing supplies on hand. I have a ph meter, a tds/ec meter and ph up and down. I use general hydroponics flora series, they are a good flowering nutrient. a 16 oz starter kit lasts quite a while in aerogardens. My last kit lasted two years without losing results.
I use park seed bio dome 60 replacement plugs, some use rapid rooters, which are also good. Just recycle every basket you come across. Then you have everything you need to plant your own seeds.
I'm a newbie MJ grower but your welcome to check out my Hell box 2010... why hell? cause its 93 freaking degrees in there. Check my sig for details.
