my question is once the rez starts to fill up with roots and you need to clean it out how do you remove the root zones with out destroying them.

how do I tell if its male or female??

I am using Hydrofarm's EMSYS which has a drain tube. Directions say take the plug out of tube and drain into a bucket. Refill through the planters. Don't know if that is going to take a lond time, haven't gotten there yet! But I would think, no matter what system you're gonna use, if it doesn't have a drain, you could add one yourself. Even tho I'm a Noob, seems like common sense that you don't want to move the plants every time you changes the nutes! Hope that helps a little! I'm learning as I go, so I could be wrong.

ill give you guys an idea of what is possible... Aerogarden DWC is not too shabby, but its way too much work. id never do another grow unless it was only 1 plant

Got any pics of the roots on those babies.

nah, but there was way too many. i couldnt even close the lid fully. i had to tape Mylar all around the edges to keep out the light

What about a journal for that grow?

i actually have an old journal, but its on another site. you would have to register in order to view it. pm me if you want the address.

+ rep, very useful. havent decided yet on soil or water but this AG seems so easy

Its pretty easy, as long as long as you're prepared, you should be fine.

AG is great. Once you figure out your nutes and PH and stuff. I think I am doing good so far. I would only recommend one plant at a time though.

what is the wattage and k of the stock light in the hood of the AG?? anyone?

I think they're like 24 watts each or something, you're going to need more lights tho.

ok thanx. for a closet grow CFLs should do? id say 2 on each side?

Yeah that would be good, just depends on the wattage of the CFL's.

ok, how about 2 of 125w
