To all my aero-growers

Doing my first grow currently, and I am not entirely sure as to what kind of feeding ratios i should be giving my plant. Ive only got one auto growing right now in a aero set up. Im about a month in and have encountered the signs of over feeding twice already >.<, thankfully she is still growing very well. So any suggestions about what the ppm should be (and if anyone uses FlouroGrow A/B, what kind of measurements they use w/ that) would be greatly appreciated.

NTGZZ: one plant? Are you an aero-grower or an Aerogardener? The latter uses the patented, compact, complete table top growing system and you can grow a couple of plants in it if you bought the right model. From your post that was my guess, A/G. If you are growing with an A/G here's my two cents worth: your reservoir only holds 112 ounces. Buy a gallon of good water and mix your nutes according to the manufacturer's specifications. You'll have 16 ounces left to top off your reservoir during the week. If you haven't decided on a brand of nutes let me put in a plug for Technaflora's, "Recipe for Success." I've been using it for about for or five years now and I never regretted it. I also haven't had any of the nutes problem you commonly see here at the forum. Technaflora's $30 sample/starter kit will last you a long time in an A/G and it has everything you'll need from seed or clone to harvest.

Use good water and check and balance your pH back to 5.8 daily. It usually goes up. Change your nutes weekly and rub a dub dub and scrub your reservoir every time you change your nutes. When you change nutes to a new formula give your plants a half strength dose to see how they like it. That policy has served me well.

Read everything that A/G has to say in the materials that accompanied your unit and at their web site but don't believe everything they say. Don't forget the A/G was designed to grow culinary herbs not what we're doing. Memorize everything Cervantes and Rosenthal say about hydro in their books and you should be happy with what you get. I hope this helps. Hank

Ok yes its just one plant, but the system that it is in is fairly small in comparison to many I've seen on this site ( I believe it holds about 32ounces give or take) , so as to scrubbing the inside of it, I dont think i could b/c theres a sponge medium above the resovoir that the jets shoot water into and below the sponges is a plastice mesh piece that would prevent me from getting in. But on the next box Im getting I will certainly keep that in mind. I have been getting a gallon of water and mixing the nutes to the spec's that are suggested on the nute bottles, but tinkering with it just a bit so as to keep the ppm of the water leveled out. My main concern was that I was not sure as to be adding nutrient added water to it every time I add water (about every night or so) or alternate by giving it distilled water, and then nutrient water. Which would you suggest?

Oh and for the Nutes , I am currently using FloraDuo A/B which seems to be doing well from what I can tell. But I went through a couple periods of over feeding early on >.< I will look into TechnaFlora Nutes, ty much for the feedback!

NTGZZ: how about some pictures? A 32 ounces reservoir capacity? Wow! HSA
