well after alot of smoking and thinking I have abandoned the AG project it seems hydro/aero just isnt for me, maybe I will use it to clone in the future in the mean while I am going back to soil and cfls, both my plants got worse they were developing brown spots and very droopy I changed the res had some ph problems I wasnt using any nutes so I dont know what happend but I built a grow box I transplanted the 2 plants into soil, lets see if they can make it, I had 2 seeds germinating in the AG so I put those in soil, and I had 2 other bag seeds in some water I tossed those in lets see what happens I will just continue this journal instead of starting a new one I will post the details and pics of the new set up in tonight wish me luck

this is the new box

2 rubbermaids I had left over from a failed diy bubbler set up
currently running 6 cfls 4 26w warm and 2 26w day I can add up too 4 more bulbs whenand if I need too, the inside is lined with emergencey blankets for reflection, it is bright as all hell in there , i vented the rubbermaids by drilling small holes in it, I also have a fan on the very top blowing air in ( question should I have it blowing in or out??)

I have 6 small pots in there, the 2 plants from the AG, I hope they make it, and 2 seeds that were germinating in the AG and 2 bag seeds, the plan is to see what sprouts go to 12/12 eliminate males and then maybe a scrog, I will use the AG to try and clone someone please anser the above question for me

If you want to follow my new grow I started a new link I figured keeping this one going would get too long and confusing

I would recomend puttin it in germination mode to start, you select strawberries then hold the select button for 5 seconds the lights will blink and now you have the pump and lights going 24/7 make sure you have water that is the proper ph that has been the source of my problems
