New Aerogarden GrowJounal **First Timer**

lol yeah i didnt think u could over water a hydro plant either lol

very nice thread! ive always wanted to get an AG just to grow some cooking herbs..reading this has encouraged me a little more beause the growth looks very fast and healthy..i doubt i would grow weed in one of these only cause I have a grow box...but you never know..my grows have all been soil so far..so I'm not much help with it comes to hydro...but so far your plants are looking really good..the only thing i would suggest is following the AG as it recommends for nutes...over feeding nutes always seems to be a pretty common issue..other than that I'm subscribed and look forward to keep watching..

as far as for you Markofdon...once you harvest your plant its pretty much over..all that cutting puts a lot of stress on the plant..so for best results most people just harvest and start over again..the only thing you can do..especially if they are feminized seeds..which not all turn out female..but most do..is keep that as a mother plant in a veg room and take cuttings off it then veg and flower those..cuts out a lot of time..but not everyone has that kind of space..

sorry for not posting hte pics last night guys i dont know what i was thinking i had a small catastrophe yesterday those 2 large nutes actually ended up locking up/drooping my plants.. so i spent a good hour flushing them. they look better this morning, pics inc today. Also i keep hearing that drooping plants are a sign of overwatering.. But how can you over water a hydro plant??? lol

You can't over water a hydro plant. lol
But yo can give it nute burn. Which you might of done. As long as you flushed the reservoir. You should be good. Remember you can always put nutes in, but its a bitch to take out. So be careful !

when u gonna put up some new pics?

WewP - INC

Lookin good, nice and green, some thick ass fan leaves too, keep it up

yeah man im pleased so far. AG nutes + Brita filtered water + 16/8 veg and im manually pulling the power for 12/12 going good so far >=D also using a large oscilating fan every other day to thicken the stems.

Going to take some more pics in a sec to show the different stretching of the strains. / the fan leaves are rediculously huge.. but the leaves in the shading arent neccesarily wilted they are just not getting enough light i dont think.. next time i will grow less plants. i started with 5 total and got rid of 1 for space purposes. next time im going to do 2/3 max just so they have enough room and can get adequate light

P.S. the pic on the left was after my nutrient mishap last night.

So i made an executive decision and killed another plant off .. it was the smallest out of the 4 and the other 3 towered it. it wasnt getting enough light nor was it growing properly. hopefully now, atleast 1 of the 3 will be female and there will be enough room.

you should loweer the light, there look a lil streched but not too bad

dude im impressed, whats the power of ur aero lights? have you got any other lights on that thing??

every pic you have put on i havnt seen any other lights, pretty damn good if u dont have any other lights, keep it up

A few questions for ya...

1. Where do you have your AG set up? like in a closet? room? also, do you use and exhaust fan?

2. Do you change your water at all throughout the growing process?

3. Did the AG come with everything you needed right out of the box? If not what did you have to get that wasnt included?

4. what is your expected yield?

I was gonna say the same thing.I would also recommend paying very close attention to your nodes for sexing at this point, You really don't want to wait any longer than absolutely necessary to get any potential hardlegs out of there. All in all man, they look really good. I think you made a good decision in letting another one go, sometimes we have to make small sacrifices for the betterment of the whole. Keep up the good work, I hope you've got a harem there... I look forward to seeing these 6 weeks into flowering (sex permitting)


P.S. get us some pics up so we can be helping you with the sexing

I have my AG set up in a closet and I don't use an exhaust fan but I do have an ocilating fan I let run every other day.

No I don't change the water at the stage their in right now. They drink enough water to where all I have to do is refill it when it's low.

Yes the AG came with everything I needed. I didn't add anything but optional air stones and I only run them for 30 min when I refill the water bc they seem to make the plants droop.

I have no idea on the yield. I'm just hoping for the best

lol thanks alot man, i appreciate the feed back and am interested in your post.. You talk about sexing, what are you referring to exactly?? are you saying to let the male (if any) pollinate the fems?? or to find out whats what before they develop and get rid of them??

**sorry its been a long ass day at work lol im like.. not all here right now**

Bow Chicka Bow wow


Looking good .. Keep Growing

OH and to reply to the previous question about the lights, Im really just using the AG lights mostly Aero pro 200 "twice the light and twice the height" lol going to lower the hood tonight when the babies wake up.

just wondering what your gonna use for ph and ppm control?
