So I have lurked on this sight for almost a year now and never had any immediate grow plans but over the last 2 weeks or so everything kind of fell in line to do an experimental grow. Here are the specs.
I'm growing in a 7 site aerogarden I got for Christmas. My only plant is in the front middle site. Its just a bagseed from some heady NW stuff. I got 2 tiny little hermie seeds in a half zip. I recently upgraded my aquarium system so I had an extra air pump around and I bought a tiny little airstone and turned the thing into a little bubbleponic system. I disconnected the light reflector and attached a lamp cord so it runs independently of the hydroponics. I also added another light its actual watts are 68, plus the 26 on each of the stock lights gives me a total of 120 actual watts. I am about twelve days from seed the first pic is 4 days ago then yesterday and today. It stretched a bit before i modified the light so it could be lowered enough. I think this will be ok because i plan on FIMing and then a little LST under a screen. I have been rolling the stem in my fingers to strengthen it up. It is in a 24in deep x 26in wide x 30in high cabinet. I haven't put in any ventilation so I have no FAE and it gets hot fast. I just put this together tonight. Until now it spent its life on the fridge behind cereal boxes. On Tuesday morning I plan on adding an exhaust into the basement and an intake fan through the upper cabinet. I also plan on using an aquarium pump i have laying around to bring the water to drip through the plug so i can remove the base and gain an extra 2.5 in growing height. the reservoir is 4in tall and holds roughly a gallon. The light is almost 5in tall so I am left with roughly 20in of grow space. Until then I am putting frozen 2 liter bottles in the cabinet and keeping it open while the lights are on. I would like to switch to some decent nutes I can get for cheap. I'm 30 bucks into the project and don't want to go over 100. Any advice on nutes, stuff I am doing wrong, any foreseeable problems or advice to make this work better and produce more. I plan on updating this with pictures every few days. I have a couple other seeds from random places in case this one is a male.
