Aerogarden Grow Journal

This is my first grow ever. I’m growing in the Aerogarden and it’s been really easy. I should have taken some earlier pictures but here goes…..












I'm using the small nutrient tabs from AG. I started with one every two weeks but It looks like I'll be needing to give her one every week.


Any advice AG growers? This is my first grow so please be kind.

damn b i didnt think an aerogarden would work that nice

Thanks Fungus! It was pretty easy really. I can't wait for her to start budding up really nice. I've heard others say that the AG is a ripoff and that you don't get much bud from it, but I don't need a ton of weed.

looks good! Might want to start the 12-12 cycle soon though cause its going to grow a lot when you do and will out grow how many lights you have on it in those pics.

She's been in 12 - 12 for a few weeks now and is starting to bud. I think her growth might be stunted due to me fucking up the first part of the grow (I waited too long to add nutrients).

No your fine. What nutes? It also might be taking a bit to start flowering even though you have switched to 12-12 if you are flowering with 6500k lights. I found this stalls the flowering but helps if you turn it back on after a couple weeks of real bud growth and it helps fill out the buds.

the thing i don't like about the AG, is that you can't have a separate chamber for vegging/flowering.
but tha tlooks good, and if you don't smoke that much, it's perfect for you

I've been using the nutrients that come with the AG. They are the smaller of the two tablets. I started with one every two weeks but now I've switched to one tab per week. She drinks a LOT of water.

Here's some close up pics. She's starting to get buds. It's amazing how fast the buds fill out. Any idea how much longer I have to go? I was thinking that by mid November I should be drying.

How is that different then any other op? A typical DWC needs 2 set ups.

I had to off the little guy on the right side of the pictures. It turned out to be a hermie' or a boy so that's all she wrote. Hopefully I caught it in time to avoid any pollination but I could use a few seeds anyway. It sucked killing him. I might have waited just a bit too long but I wanted to be sure I had a boy.

I got two more lights to help her do her thing. Here's some of the latest pictures. I've read that going with 1 of the AG tomato tabs every two weeks is the way to go but my plant seems to be loving the once a week diet I'm using. Is this OK or am I missing something?

Hi guys. What's a good time to start the flush? Is there anything special you need to do in a AG setup to flush properly? She's growing fine. More pictures to follow.

Here's some recent glamor shots

Thanks dogglet! This is my first grow and it's been great fun. The AG is pretty brainless once you get it started.

I'm still a noobie and didn't have anything to clone in so this is all she wrote for now. Next grow I think I'm going to try some Lowrider fems.

10 weeks for flowering and the last 2 weeks dont use any tabs

[quote="SICC";1490655]10 weeks for flowering and the last 2 weeks dont use any tabs[/quote]

Thanks SICC! Got it, so no tripping for the last two weeks of flowering

Seriously thanks for the info. I'm assuming this is just to get all the crap out of the plant before smoking it right?

Here's my setup:
1 AG-Deluxe
5 Hampton Bay desk lamps (model 1127) from Home Depot ($20 each)
1 Timer
1 power strip
1 Air stone and pump
Small tomato tabs from AG
Shit loads of distilled water.

Yea exactly, good luck

Two new shots from this week.

The main cola is starting to fill out nicely.


This is the 9th week of the grow. 3 weeks veg 6 weeks flower.
