Hey guys,

I get my first AG on Wednesday (Aerogarden 6 Elite +, 3 lights, 6 pods, 2ft extendable arm) and cant wait to start. I'm also going to add 3 26w cfl's (6500K to veg, 2500K to flower), an additional airstone, and a small fan to help stem strength and air flow. I'm thinking of running 2 plants and see how that goes. This will be my first AG grow, but I feel pretty confidant thanks to all of the helpful info on this site. I have a link for some decent clones from a mother plant that has produced some nice smoke, so I'm going to try that before any autoflowering strains.

Just want to thank everyone on here for all of the tips and everything, they have been great.

I'll be sure to post some pics when I get everything set-up.

Until next time, HAPPY SMOKING:joint::hump:

Yeah man, here's some links to check out to get you started off.

SICC's Grow

You'll also wanna check out Purp's grow. He's got a lot of knowledge to hand out.

Other than that, make sure you do your research. Don't expect everyone to always answer your questions, even though we are here to help. Do your homework, then, if you don't understand something, ask one of us.

Cool man, no problem. It's good to see some people actually doing their homework instead of posting threads with nothing but questions, then crying that no one's answering them.

I will definitely be watching this one all the way through.

UPDATE:

Just got my AG 6 Elite+ today via FedEx. Fuck I'm excited. Just waiting for my pay cheque to buy an airstone and some nutes. Plus, the clones wont be ready until Saturday. They should be big enough where i can just flower them right away. My buddy has preparing them so the roots will be fully ready by the time I get them. Can't wait to get started.

I'm thinking of using Dutch Nutrient Formula (DNF) nutes. I heard good stuff about them, and they are relitivly cheap. I wanted to use Fox Farm nutes but they arn't availible in Canada.

I hope the bud is potent. Living in Canada, I've become accustomed to good quality bud. Can't wait to vape this shit!!!

Once I assemble everything, I'll post some pics of my setup.


Until next time, HAPPY SMOKING:joint::hump:

Hey guys,

Been away for a while, plus the lack of funding had put my little op on hold, but I'm back!

A few things since last time. I wasn't able to grab the clones from my buddy (BLAH!):cuss:, but I was starting 3 plants outdoors that I decided to use insted; they were only about 4 inches so it didn't bother me to use them for my AG grow. I picked the nicesest two and cut them about an inch up. One started to droop right away (BLAH!):cuss:, but im hopeful that it will recover. Dont know the sex yet, too early to tell. Im using DNF (Ducth Nutrient Formula) A & B for my nutes. I heard good things and all the hydro shops in my area swear by it.

Well, im hoping for the best and since this is my first AG grow im sure it will be tuff, fun, and educating. Here are some pics of my little op.

So until next time, HAPPY SMOKING :joint::hump:

Hey guys,

It has been a long time since i have posted. Ive been busy, plus I'm pretty lazy due to the fact that I'm a big pot head:-P.
The two plants in my last post didn't make it:sad:, but i had a seed from a killer batch of bud so i started it in my AG. I had a lot of problems stating it. I guess i didn't poke large enought holes through the AG sponges. I did manage to salvage the little seedling though and it had matured into a lovely lady. I just put it into flowering about 15 days ago and i do see pubes:weed:.
I believe that it is a dominant sativa strain since it is thin and lanky.
I have some pics of my little lady right below.
So until next time, HAPPY SMOKING :joint::hump:

Whats up guys,

Came home today and checked on my plant, and WOW. The 45w cfl light i added yesturday is just feeding my lady with nice multispectrum rays that has accellerated her bud growth, especially in the lower branches:leaf:.
Can't wait until harvest, should be another 35-40 days. I also added some DNF Mega Bloom 0-50-15 to my res. I think I'm going to stop the nutes 3 weeks before harvest. I read alot of good things about flushing with molasis, week and a half with 1 tblsp of molasis/Litre, and a week and a half of pure pH'd water; with atleast 2 res changes in that week. I like a nice clean smoke so I'll try it out, see what happens.
Took some pics of my newly adjusted set up.
I'll keep you fellow AG'ers posted, Until next time, Happy Growing :weed:

She looks good, man!

I would advise otherwise of the molasses. It's really only for the dirt crew. The molasses feeds microbes that are growing in the soil. The microbes break down the organic nutrients into usable nutrients. On top of that, you will have a disaster of a mess to clean up with all that molasses in your system.

Thanks for the tip dude. I guess I have to find another flushing method.
