Quick question about the aerogarden pro...

Hey, was thinking of purchasing the aerogarden pro. The $200 one that's got like 24 inches I believe, I've searched the hell out of this site and I basically just want to know how much could I yield, and how often? It's an all-in-one setup, for only 200 bucks. I keep searching as well for closet setups and everybody is spendin well over 200$ it seems. If someone knows a cheaper setup than the aerogarden, that produces more, please help me out. I want something efficient that's not gonna cost me some ridiculous sum of money. Not trying to be a king pin here lol, just trying to save some money. And idk how to +rep, if u can reply with an answer to both I'll do it tho lol

Yes the Aerogarden works.Its a tool.Some people had some really nice luck with it doing SGROG grows. It can safely hold up to 3 max. But you can make yourself a DIY hydroponic system for alot less.Just read the boards for DIY DWC. Sure you will find somthing.

I got mine because of the neat factor of it. I like it. It has some decent lights at the top. Plus if you wanna make you're own system ,you now have a place to grow herbs and tomatoes!

BTW, i love my AG. But i had the cash to fork over.

Please. Somebody

Awesome. Thanks for the advice, but do u mean u actually don't use the AG for your grows? But only for tomotoes and vegtables? I like the setup, I'm not concerned about spending a few hundred, just actually wondering how the AG compares to a simple, custom setup in the same price range.

I'm gonna check it out now, thanks

I like the setup cardinal but I was referring to the aerogarden pro 200, I'm not really trying to build my own closet

Yes i have a AG pro 200. But mine is sitting in a small cabinet. If you are considering to buy one. You need to know the basics of how MJ plant reacts to light. So at some point in time you will need to consider a place to have it set up. Because you also need to have darkness as well. You cant just leave the Aerogarden on you're kitchen table. :> Well maybe you can. But i cant.

Maybe i am missing something. maybe not. Good luck on the purchase or not.

I am using an AeroGarden at the moment, but this setup will limit you on how much you will yield. This bubbleponics system is what I'm upgrading to next, but eventually I'm going to build a perpetual system.

Anyway, you really need to do some research on cultivation of marijuana specifically before deciding to grow. These plants are very finicky with light and nutrients, so be warned.

I didn't actually notice that cardinal, I thought it was a custom setup, y do u say I can't just leave it out in the open? I assumed that was what people mainly did, I'm not concerned about hiding it all all if that's what u were incinuating

It's not so much a matter of hiding. When you force your plants to flower, they will need to be in complete darkness. If any light reaches the plant, it will go into protection and pollenate itself, thus bringing seeds into the bud.

As for yield, I'm not sure yet. I wouldn't recommend growing more than 3 plants at a time, since the roots will completely take over the res. I'm guessing maybe around an ounce per plant if done correctly, but this is just an estimation.

Yes, all the aerogardens will work fine. Some may be a little better than others, but they all get the job done.

I started out with the Aerogarden and it's a bit limited. The reservoir is small enough (only about 1.5 gallons) that you really have to watch it like a hawk when the plants are big. Also, you are risking the health of the plants if you head off for a long weekend when the plants are mature since the resv. can go dry in just over a day with 3-4 plants. It is certainly a great learning tool, and I would tell folks to buy it if they are looking to get into hydro.

But I did move to bubbleponics and use my old aerogarden light hood (with extra CFLs on the side) for light. I keep 6 gallons of water in mine and don't have to watch it quite as closely as my old aero. Also, I could push it and put 7-7.5 gallons in there if I needed to leave it alone. You do have to watch the PH closely in a bubbleponics setup as it can creep up quickly, but it's a tradeoff between no water (aero) and high PH (bubble) if you have to leave the system on its own for a couple of days. The aerogarden pro hood uses about 80 watts when the lights are on, so you don't use a ton of power (the water pumps dont use more than a couple of watts.)

With an aerogarden, your best bet is to probably stick with autoflowering plants as they are nice and compact. The auto AK47 might have the greatest yield, but you could ask that question on it's own in another thread.

I'm not trying to talk you out of the aerogarden--its a pretty nice 'getting started' system. You just might outgrow it as I did. You should keep your eye out as you do see used systems show up on auction sites from time to time and this may save you some coin. If you buy a used model, the operating instructions are available for download.
