After reading much and spending money i dont have i have managed to turn my girlfriends aerogarden, some bagseed and my closet into what looks to be a fun little experiment.

Ive got about 2x3x6 for space surrounded with mylar. a 5 head lamp fixture (the heads are all individually positionable) with 23w 6500k cfls. a co2 tank hooked up to a soda keg full of watter (to bubble) and a fan. Fox Farm trio for nutes.

The babies just turned 2 weeks today (started from seed untill germed then put into aerospnges) and have been on 24 with no nutes yet. i also dont have a ph kit yet (tm) but i havent started adding nutes yet either (tm). i will have pictures up soon for feed back but the last 2-3 days the babes lowest little sprout leaves have been turning yellow/wilting. PH issue? im using activated carbon filtered water. Heat issue? it doesnt seem like those cfl's get too hot. i plan on starting them on 16/8 and giving them their first nutes, and phing the water tm. hopefully that will correct the problem. Also noticed the roots not lookin so good, the ones in the water look fine but the shorter ones coming out of the sponge are brown and a little burnt looking almost. any help?

Thanks so much to everyone for all the great info SICC & Home Grown Hairy, you have helped much, hopefully more. thanks y'all.:weed:

also any input on my co2 set up would be great. does it all just leak out any way? how often should i do it? should i use a fan over it? is it even worth it? thanks!

So nutes have been added and water has been ph'd. i also changed to distilled water and added an airstone. its really only bubbling in the front so im wondering if the back plants are getting the o2. the babes are still looking pretty wilty and not very happy at all. hopefully they just need some time but i feel like they should be doin better. ive got a few more pics of them and the set up. any help would be great!

lookin good man, jus give them some time, you need to glue those plant labels on the grow nets, you dont want to promote mold and what not, i broke the AG off the extension bar and hang it above the plants, i would suggest to try and rig somthing up, so you can get those CFL's over the plants too, good luck, mine got burnt in the begining too, they will amke it!

so the kids are looking much better now. going on almost week 3 of veg. the PH has definitely stabilized out, haven't had to adjust it in a while. done just a tiny bit of pruning to some of the really sad leaves. seemed to perk them up a bit.
i just topped all of them today, except for the big one on the left in the 3rd picture, which i did yesterday.
i have 2 in 1 seed net in that 3rd pic and they seem to be doing all right for now space wise. although they are the biggest and seem to be growing the fastest they seem to be having the most problems. some real brown mushy looking spots on the rootmass and some wierd coloring on the leaves. pics 4 and 5. any idea's on that? i want to get some hygrozyme just to keep out any nasties and give them a bit more help.
the girls(hopefully) in pics 1 and 2 are lookin good (still a few brown root spots but new white happy growth). some of the first fan leaves are kind of retarded and spotty. keep um? cut um? i dunno.
this is kind of a seat of the pants grow so i appreciate all the input and help.
WORD NUGGS:leaf:

so going on the 3rd week of veg. changed the res water out on sat. think i added too much nute tho cause they seem to be gettin burned a little. doesnt look too bad and i topped up the res to try and dilute it a little bit. one of the leaves is really dry/crispy and dying. a friend said they were for sure going to die and they were just taking their time. i have a little more faith than that. any way, ill get some better pics of the plants up this week, but here is the leaves with the problem. any input would be awesome.

So i reworked my space a little bit today. i added a couple more CFL's although they are 2700k and not 6500k. i figure im proly gunna throw them on 12/12 here sometime this week or next. did a bit of pruning and bending today, went to bend one and the stem snapped, or mushed rather. it looks like some white shit is growing inside the grow sponge and there is a brown spot on the stem where it bent. the plant still looks healthy but the mushy bend dont look too good. there is a spot kind of like it on the plant next to it in the same sponge. i dunno, i guess we'll see how they do.

pic 1 is doin fine lookin good. pic 2 is the one that got bent, the two plants in one sponge. the bog one on the right is the super mushy bent one. pic 3 is the one on the left that still seems to be ok. pic 4 is the whole garden far right is def a girl and lookin awesome. pic 5 is the mushy spot with the break on the left and on the right just a bit up the stem is the spot that concerns me with that plant, which im almost sure is also a girl.

should i just take both those ones in the same pot out? leave um? just take the one thats broken? i need some advice on this one.

Those roots are going to be all intertwined, you are going to have to cut it at the top of the roots if you want to get rid of it.

the brown mushy spot doesnt look any better and its still broken and leaning. the plant isnt really showing any signs of stress though aside from stunted growth. i cant tell if the white shit in the grow sponge is mold or root mass. i just dont know weather to chop her or not!

anyone think its worth using a dose of H202? i read you can put in right into the grow sponges to help kill an infection?

well i chopped the bigger one of the two in one sponge. the one that had the most fucked up mushy stem. im kinda sad i did it, as it might have survived but now the healthy one has more room. the one i chopped was kind of stretched out anyway and im really trying to keep these ladies as bushy as possible. i have one definite girl (her pre flowers are showing) and i cant tell yet about the other two. no balls yet so thats dank. cant decide if i want to let them veg another week or switch them tm. i dont have a lot of room but i want to get the max yield that i can. was maybe thinking of doing some paper clip training but im not sure which branches to hook.
ill get some pics up later. its not workin right now.

So I added a hash plant clone that i got from a friend yesterday. going to let them veg another week to let the clone develop some roots and let the skinny one in the middle get a big bigger and stronger. they seem to be doing well. drooping just a little but i added their week 4 nutes yesterday and topped up the res. they sometimes droop a bit when the res is full.

pic 2 is the clone and 3 is the middle smaller one thats left. still cant tell if its a boy or a girl yet. all the other im pretty sure are girls.

now its just time for the waiting game i suppose. i keep going in there looking for something to do and end up trimming something that doesnt need to be. im just gunna let um grow till next weekend. update to come then. (unless something terrible happens)

H2O2 sounds like a good idea, but I'd be hesitant to try it myself.
