Funny, it states the title of the posting as "Starting with Aerogarden (my first grow, advice appreciated)".dude i didnt know shit about indoors until i bought the aerogarden, then i ended up finding this site and knew i could of saved money making my own but whatcha gonna do. and there cool to grow with, growins sick now matter what way you grow man, this aint a thread for your opinion on the aerogarden its a grow journal.
Hehe, thx for backing us up dave. I actually posted this in the hydro/aero section instead of doing a formal journal, and in my first post I asked for everyone's comments and opinions... so it's all good. I knew those kinds of comments would be coming, and I like objectivity. Even if this is a cheap piece of crap, I like to hear why...it's all part of the learning process.
I have two AG deluxe's. I am using one to start seedlings and and veg clones. I am using the other one to veg a few mother plants. I have a ebb and flow tray under a 400HPS for flowering. Using this method is the only way i could see to get a size-able harvest using the AG'S.
You'll probably still need more lighting, but I dunno you may be able to pull it off if you flower early. I would recommend using supplemental lighting like the one me and dave have (or something better). Or you could just try your stock lighting and when they start to get too tall, make a run to home depot. The light fixture i made was cheap, and it works great. As far as nutes go, you should start your seedlings with NO NUTES, just the water is enough and you'll get nute burn if you start nutes right off the bat. Then after 1-2 weeks, start to add your tablets or your fox farm GRADUALLY. I've been using the AG tablets for now; I have some FF stashed away though. The good thing about the AG tablets is that they will adjust the pH for you, and if you have the herb kit, you're good to go. But with FF, you'll want to keep a close eye on your pH and you'll want to buy an EC meter. Good luck with it man, I'm sure no matter what you do you'll be fine.Ive decided its finally time to become self sufficient. I dont want to sell, only to not spend ass loads of cash on good weed every month. So I just bought a deluxe AG for myself Ive been reading all the posts here, and it seems perfect for the casual smoker/project enthusiast. The biggest complaint people seem to have is that the lighting on the original is not strong enough. In addition to the longer neck and a few control changes, the deluxe model also seems to have more lighting than the original (3 bulbs instead of 2) Will this extra bulb get me at least close to what i need to do 2 or 3 plants ? I will be starting from some mid grade commercial seeds from a friend. From what i have been reading, i think im going to germinate in a paper towel for a day or two and then transplant them over to the sponge. The root enzymes seem to have a general thumbs up around here, so ill probably grab some from home depot and throw a bit in the water supply. I have also seen lots of back and forth on the AG nutrient tablets vs fox's. Im thinking Fox's are the way to go? Anyway, enough stoned ranting. This should be a fun project. All the pics here look awesome, i cant wait to jump in myself (the deluxe model is currently on backorder though gotta wait till next week for it to ship)
yea thats cool ide like to see some pics of that new ag, take some pics man and post 'em or start a grow journal and throw us a link to check it out, and whats the lumen amount on each bulb? and wattage?since me and weedcraft are old schoolers ide like to see this thing in action. goodluck
