New Aerogarden GrowJounal **First Timer**

Will be posting new pics of setup tonight. I left those pumps on for a few hours and i noticed that my plants were starting to droop. really depressing. lol i think what was happening was the nutes that settled at the bottom of the res were getting kicked up with the bubbles from the airstone.. The plants are defenitly still growing.. just not as fast as before i think somethings up. the plant in the front has some nutrition issues going on with it i suppose its got some yellowing / decaying leaves. the ones in the back are still pushing. is it normal for the stem to have a little discoloration/wetness? back to the books lol need to do some more research.

hope you find the solution, will be waiting for the pics

Great news! The babies have bounced back. I turned off the bubble stones and let the roots settle back into the res. since this is a closet grow i figured it also might be a good idea let the plants get alot of fresh air over night, and it worked. Today they look MUCH much better. the decaying leaves on the front dont look so ill anymore and their is new growth. Is light green coloration good or bad?? ill be posting pics of last night and tonight to show the difference

LAST NIGHT
*********

Yep this is today looks much much better.

good to hear things are picking up,

Well guys i had to make a tough decision today. I finally decided to kill off the plant in the front middle of the AG. it had the worst nute problems (again probably because thats where i usually dropped in the tabs.) but i rearranged the smaller plants to give the 2 in the back more room. I still havent turned the air stones back on yet, the babies are sleeping. New pics coming soon. they are growing so fast. anyway ive been debating killing the plant since the start.. its so true its so crowded with more than 3-4 plants i got excited and germed too many when i started. Again its light out right now but ill take some new pictures when they wake up around 7:30 tonight

2 3/4's week since start and the back right plant is about 5.5 inches tall.

Thanks so stopping by my thread!

srry to hear you had to kill one off, i germinated 5, max im going to keep is 4, good luck, i will be posted

Is what they say true?? about fast growing plants being males?

I'v heard it but its just a crap shoot, roll of the dice

but that thing is huga haha

Yo was up ... Nice looking plants ... Jus recently started my AG grow too ... They are probably 2 weeks old .. But I'm only using the the plain old AG as a test run...

Thanks man they are coming along nicely whichever AG your using this thing is like guarenteed success compared to soil grows ive tried before. Its never been so easy, and they are growing damn fast too. its been less than a month and my plants are huge. Should i send them into flowering early??

Pics coming within the hour! it'll be lights on in about 45mins

they will triple in size when you flower then so just calculate that into how much space you have

What SICC said...You wanna see fast? What til you go 12/12. I just go 4 1/2 or 5" and flower. The AG is a very small unit.

mabye ill start monday then.. 3 of the 4 plants are atleast 4 inches tall

the two larger plants have 6 nodes

that's kool mine are like 3 inches tall
And pretty wide ... They kinda look like yours just a little smaller .. But really green .. Yeah its slot easy I have a couple in soil and they are growing really slow .. But with many nodes and leaves they are also short.. But like I said I only add miracle grow..

Last night I noticed that the stems of the plants had some fungal shit going on with them, infection perhaps. but the plants still seem to be growing well i did a little research and have my fingers crossed that they arent dapering off. So i hooked up an oscillating fan to keep a breeze going through the leaves of the plants and the stems have certainly gotten a little thicker but the fungus stands.

I realized that me foiling all sides of the plants is the reason why they are stretching out and not up! its working great besides the fact that now the plants are trying to over lap eachother. the plant on the back right has 9 nodes im going to send them into flowering early i think, this is just a test grow anyways

lookin nice and green, how tall are them ladies?

they look good what nutes r u using ..

aerogarden nutes i used 2 small tabs at germ at 2 small tabs at 2 weeks
