so i decided to use 18/6 lighting in my aerogarden, should i use it all through 8 weeks or should i go 12/12 after the 8 weeks?

If it's the autoflowering one, then you will wanna go 20/4 the entire grow. That means seed, seedling, veg, flower, all of it! If it's not autoflowering, then follow what Alex said.

the water sensor is this litlle piece of plastic with metal in it.... it bobs up and down in that little tube in your rez... its probably just stuck and causing the sensor to go off... happened to me before.

it's autoflower.. no need to change photoperiods.. it will prolly be done in 8-9 weeks after they sprout .. my first grow was a autoflower Lowryder dwarf mix.. and i went 18/6 the whole way .. got jus over 3 OZ dry!! under a 400 watt HPS

Make sure there is no buildup on the contactors on the back of your res. If that doesn't work, try taking your pump out and cleaning it a bit. Other than that, I have no idea.

pH is a scale from 1 to 14, 7 being neutral. Anything below 7 is acidic, while anything above is basic. You want the pH to be around 5.7 to allow all nutrients to be available to the plant at all times. Anything else can cause nutrient lockout. This means the plant is unable to uptake nutrients.

A good rule of thumb is to keep it between 5.5 and 6.5, but as close to 5.7 as possible.
