Dude, just DO NOT use the nutrient tabs that came with it because those will harm your plant as they were meant for the seeds that came with your Aerogarden.

first off, don't listen to that guy, has no clue what hes talking about im using the tabs, there perfectly fine, obvious other hydro nutes are better cause those are for actual plants no veggies.

I was told by multiple people that those tabs can hurt it, who knows it can be a 50/50 but try it.

Ok... so it's been 3 weeks now since I started my grow... for the most part its been smooth sailing.. My only issues have come from lack of water in my REZ. I'm using a 8inch Airstone in there and my plant has started drinkin' ALOT more water. The roots are CRAZY right now. IDK how people get 4 plants in that fucker... I'm think 2-3 max is more realistic for the AG i have. Anyway no more incoherent babblin'... HERE ARE THE PIX... ENJOY!:leaf:

Does anybody have any suggestions regarding adding nutrients? I was thinking about putting the nutrients in a gallon of water and just adding to the res whenever it's needed. Anybody got any thoughts on that?

thats exactly what i have been doing the last week. i had been adding fresh water to top off but i felt like i was just diluting my ppms. some people say it will create more build up. but if you just clean every thing out every two weeks or so, youll be fine. check out my babes, they are lovin the nutey goodness.

you should definitely definitely utilize some low stress training on that plant. with no other plants in your system if you just tie those branches down it will let light get to all the precious nug sites. you will have a big bush of nuggets! did you top or fim this? if you havent and havent started flowering you should!

Hey! JUST about to start to grow in the AeroGarden SUNDAY!

Two quick question - Im starting from SEED - what setting would be best? 24 hours of light?

And other - I heard alot of people using spring water - Could i just use tap water? I heard if you let it sit out for 24 hours the cholorine will evaporate (and be at room temp)

Thanks!

Other than that - It seems I've read about 500 pages of info on this thing....I plan on just growing to about 14 - 20 inches in this thing and then transplanting to soil - hear that really works....

But yah....GOOD LUCK TO YAH!

I germinated in a papertowel first and then planted the sprout into the AG sponge... I used a 24/0 light cycle for the 1st 2 weeks.. some people use 20/4....

The tap water in my area has really high PH so I dont use it... the spring water ususally has a lower Ph level... this is crucial to the plant.


You sgould check out the AG GUIDE/FAQ.... it's linked at the bottom of my signature and will answer most of your questions...

Its only 3 weeks old.... I think its way too soon for flowering?? Im not sure what you mean by "tie those branches down" how would I go about doing that? Do you mean those ginat fan leaves that I have all over the place?? There seems to be alot of growth underneath them anywayz... Im curious.... let me know and I might do that... this is my 1st attempt so I'm not too sure what I should be doing.
