My First Aerogarden Grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I started my first grow With the AG....Seeds have been germinating for about 3 days.......PH is good and I started with the starting Nutes.....No more nutes until we start to flower.....Any help or suggestions would be great....I will post pics in a bit of my progress so far

here it is soo far.....nothing yet but the seeds have popped and hopefully soon we will see baby plants

New pics coming tonight......gotta lil baby plant to show you guys.....here is my question though.....at what point do you take the plastic covers off of the Little pods...Is it once the plant sprouts and grows above the paper covers or just as soon as it sprouts? Any help is appreciated....stand by for pics....these are bag seeds BTW.

How come you're not going to give it nutes again until it starts to flower? As far as the little bio dome thing, just take it off when your plant is about to touch it.

to be honest Im not sure about the nutes.....I am open to disscussion on that....Not sure what I should do about that...when should I give it nutes? all I have is the nutes that came with the AG...so when should I drop those in...and how much.....Each package has two tabs should I give both at the same time or what?

ok just read up on it and I believe I will add one small tab a week during veg......and one and 1/2 during flowering. Does this sound about right?

I wouldn't use the nutes that came with AG rig at all... It would be worth you while lashing yourself some decent nutes, fox farm range seems to be the go on here but Cana is my personal choice.

I have read on this forum that some people use the Aerogarden nutrients and others use Fox Farm, Advanced Nutrients, etc. I use Fox Farms Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Hygrozyme and Cal Mag.

sorry been awhile but here are my babys

should I run a iso fan on the plants.....I have seen this done but not exactly sure why.....If it will help I will do it.....if its not neccesary I would rather not crowd the area anymore....So far so good though.....gonna let them veg for a couple more weeks then Im gonna start the flowering.....I dont want them to get too big soo Im gonna start them a lil early.

if you doa fan, just keep it on low but they should be fine now

worried about the yellowing along with brown spots.....could it be under nuteing....my ph is a 5.7 ish but ive takin it VERY light on the nutes.....i worry about over nuteing....have i created the opposite problem?

I'd personally change your water out ASAP and hold off on the nutes for another week or so. Then add then in gently.

sweet will do....thanks....so you think I over nuted? or introduced nutes too soon....they are about a month old from seeds.

Some strains react differently, I agree with kroz change the water and let em sit in pH'd water for now.
They seem a lil small for a month old, kinda look a lil stunted

yeah they are looking a lil stunned ph'd water will do them wonders

The plastic domes give your babies a warmer protected growing environment like a miniature greenhouse but you've got to watch your seedlings very close. They can grow up into and against the plastic cover and then be terminally bent down. Once they get close to the top of the dome I remove it. A friend went away on a long holiday weekend and came back to seven damaged plants that never recovered.

you definitely nutrient burned them... You shouldn't really used nutrients on seedlings that small because they have gotten a chance to be able to fully develop. I usually wait until the the very first set of leaves(the round ones) start turning yellow. or about 4-6 inches high. P.S. change the water and replace with very very little nute

yo dude. you mentioned earlier about "dropping in" the nutes. I've been adding them to water that I have in a gallon jug and letting them fully disolve first, then pH balancing the water, then adding them to the AG. Seems to be going ok for me and thought I'd mention

either way I'm sure you'll be posting pics of big bushes before you know it.....

So...I'm new to this also, but anyways...I checked my records and I started my girls on nutes at week 3. I added 1/4 of the Small AG nutes it comes with. I also changed my lights to 18/6 that same day. Week 4 I went to 1/2 a tab of small nutes and week 5 a full tab of small nutes. I'm at week 7 now and I'm doing 1 full LARGE nute tab.

Now....I think I could have gone faster with my nutes, but I had a runt issue with one of my girls, so I wanted to take it slow and give her the time and space she needed to grow.
