Topping in the Aerogarden

Pryapsym: If we're talking about the same thing, topping as a form of pruning, then you have to consider the benefits and the hazards of doing it. It's a common practice but it has it's hazards. Cervantes recommends not doing it within a month of inducing flowering because of the stress it causes. He's got a good explanation on pages 51 to 54. Personally, I would think the strain you're growing and how soon they're going to flower would be strong factors. If it's an autoflowering variety would you? HSA

HSA,
I need to flower asap, I am moving in less than 30days. Should I kill it and start over once I get settled in at the next place?
Should I top it or bend it?
The Strain is bubblicious and it is feminized .
thanks

[FONT=&quot]Yeah, I figured that. I was thinking about selling them to a co-worker. How much do you think I should sell each plant?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] From what I have read, 3 plants is the max for the Aerogarden. However I have had some problems with the free seeds. The bigger plant is [FONT=&quot]Bubblicious and is doing very well.

Here's my two cents folks: One to two plants seems to work fine. Every time I've tried three it became work. More than three; a disaster. With more than two they gobbled up the nutes like starving refugees and their roots become a tangled mess. If you can and want to grow more plants the obvious solution is to buy a second or third Aerogarden. (There are a surprising lot of us who have). I know that may seem absurd if you're new to growing with the Aerogarden but if you really get turned on to it don't be surprised when you find yourself looking for another one.
