My Bombastic Aerogarden Closet Fungasm/Growjournal

pretty sure i burned the fuck out of the clone with nutes. im gunna flush them tm and maybe get another clone. how long should i let the clones veg before flowering? should i add any nutes at all to the water while the clones are kickin it? maybe ill just hella step it down. that FF grow big is potent shit.

flush with pH'd water, no nutes until they recover

Is it me or do those plants looks like their roots aren't getting much o2? You might want to see about putting some airstones where the resevoir is to promote more oxygen production in the water. Could just be me though. But you should check out Gypsy's aerogarden thread. There is some good info for that stuff.

lookin good man, keep us posted

there is an air stone in there. they were just about to go to sleep and sometimes they droop right before the light goes off. maybe another air stone would be good. it just feels like its gettin crowded up in that res.

it WILL get crowded in there, when i had my plants in, thet root mass was crazy

If I can remember what Gypsy was talking about in his thread, I believe he put small airstones in the tubing of the resvoir and not the res. itself. so every time water went through the tube to aerate the roots, it had to also pass through the airstones. Problem is, i think this was all done BEFORE he started his grow. but other than the droopy leaves, they look healthy and thriving.

lookin good, im going to buy a aerogarden soon they look baddddd.

the only tubing on mine is attached to the underside of the grow surface and drips the water down into the grow nets. the water in my res never gets high enough to touch the top. im confused as to how that would work. but like you said its kinda too late now. def something to look into next time. maybe ill try and add another air stone. or stronger pump maybe? my air stone is pretty long. any other reason they might be droopy? every time i look at them now i feel like they are drooping. maybe cause they are tied down? dunno.
i also took the cover things off that light so the cfl's are all close to the bud sites. i started flowering today. im gunna fix my closet tm for light leaks cause im pretty sure it is dark but maybe not dark enough.

thanks doods


also topped that hash plant clone today. even tho she is so unhappy cause she cant hang with the big girls nutes. she actually seems to be growing some new tops and nice healthy roots so maybe ill get a few nuggs off her yet. next grow will be solely that. yum!

Good Shit Man... I hope their females. How far away from the top of the plants is the AG HOOD? It looks like its a little too high... I thought 3-4 inches is the optimal distance for CFLS's... Im only 2 weeks in on my 1st attempt at the AG and I've been keepin the lights REAL close... seems to be workin out.

Lookin good,
I would say they might be getting a little dry( droopy leaves ), have you got a ventilation fan? what is the temp in there? needs to be around 23 degC ( 73 degF ). Looking good tho.... Might be the right size for heading now otherwise you'll run out of room.
good luck

its on like the second notch now. but i only raised it so i could put those other cfl's more over the top of the plants.its prolly about 4 inches away from the tippy toppy.

there is a big fan blowin on them. says about 70 - 80 in there. is heading topping? or do you mean start flowering?

sooooooo. just wondering. when feeding, should i pre mix my nutes with the water that i am adding when the res is low.....oooooor (what i have been doing) mix the nutes in when i change out the water and top up with just H2O. sometimes if the week is up and there is still enough water i just mix the nutes with a tiny bit of water and add it too the res.
is this right/wrong? they are doing okay so far but i want them to be optimal. i need a stupid ppm meter.

HELPP?

Sorry,
meant might be time to flower, heading is flowering over here. you would expect them to grow about another 1/3 size while flowering, are you getting low on room in there?

I asked the same question the other day... I noticed my plant reacting ALOT when I added the nutes directly into the rez... I asked around and SICC suggested to premix the nutes in a clean gallon of water and .... when you swap the water out every week or so....you want to REPLACE the water ALL OF IT... because your roots are going to rot otherwise.. Also if you just keep addin nutes in there and a little water everytime it gets low you are probably going to get ALOT of build up in the rez from the excess nutes and probably jam up the AG air pump... blahhh!

Gunna change the res and start flowering tm so i figured id update now. the clone is pretty much fucked, hasnt grown at all and is still burned. oh well, the others are lookin beautiful.

this one has some LST goin on. i dunno, one of the main tops is gettin a lot taller than the rest, as i didnt tie it down. meh.

this is the surviving one of the 2 in one. still the smallest but lookin good.

dont have a pic of the best biggest one. i havent really fucked with it at all. shes lookin great.

all of them. the one on the far right is the big one.

lights on!! gunna switch out those daylight cfl's for soft white tm too.

alright well thats it for now. i cant wait!

What Kind of seeds were those.... ?? The plants look real good BRo!

I have no idea. my friend got them from his dad probly 2 years ago. the small burned one is a hash plant clone.

I pre dissolve my nutes in the water that im going to be adding into the rez, i would flush up the rez every chance you get, in my situation i only flushed a couple times, then after that i just kept filling the rez. and before i would add my nute, i would let the water get low, so when added, its mostly new water

Im using Fox Farms nutes.


what i have been doing is adding the nutes to the water at the beg of my "week" then topping up the res whenever it gets low (even a little) with just fresh distilled water. then when my new "week" starts i just add the nutes to some water and dump it in. now i was thinking that doing it that way would just dilute the nute strength in the res when i added water. so today i pre mixed the nutes in a gallon and used that to top up (almost half a gallon). i figure that way my ppm's will stay the same? i could also be horribly wrong. the feeding sched says feed with every watering. but then on the bottom of my chart i got with them it says to top up res with fresh water between res changes. but it says to change the res every other week. i feel like id go through a my whole res and have no nutes in there. or do the plants absorb all the nutes they need for the week. gah, typing this now i feel like i added way to much nutes. what to do, what to do!?
