I would say its too early to give them nutrients. I made the mistake of giving my seedlings nutrients when they were too young and i had sever nute burn and it really stunted their growth. I would say you should wait at least until the end of week 2. Also, you might want to think about investing in an airstone and air pump to put in the reservior. Do you have additional side lighting? The standard aerogarden lights arent really sufficient enough.

so your suggesting i should flush the resevoir to be safe? i only used 1 nute pill and i fill the resevoir up to the top with bottled water. Also i do have 3 airstones in my aerogarden right now so i think that should be enough. do u think i should add additional lights?

Adding additional lights is a good idea. More lights the better! As far as flushing, probably a good idea, better to be safe than sorry.

well the sprouts seem to be doing good because the roots grew alot since i added the nutes,but i have noticed that one of the sprouts has a couple brown spots on the 1st set of leaves, but the plant is still pretty green in general. do u think i should flush or just let them go?

yea i think im gonna invest in some lights in the flowering stage or do u think i should get some cfls now? my set up is just chilling in my room im gonna buy a fan for them today so i can get the stems to stalk up and im guessing they need more air circulation. Ever since i added that 1 nute tablet ive been super stressing because im scared i might have stunted growth with nuting to early

Dont stress man. Over-nuting with a hydroponic system is an easy fix. When you go into the flowering stage whereever your plants are it is going to have to be completely dark during the dark cycle. You shouldnt allow any light to hit them during the dark cycle as this stresses the plants and can possibly produce hermie plants.

Yea exactly. extra CFL's during vegging can only help, but if your strapped for cash, i would wait a lil longer to save up, not that its alot of money haha, but you get the point :D good luck keep us POSTED!!!! :mrgreen:

You dont have to flush every week. I have an aerogarden grow and i havent changed the water in 2 months, I just top it off when it gets low. Flushing gets to be a pain, especially when the res is full of roots.

i feel your pain...i feel like a couple of my sprouts havent been growing as fast as they were. do you know why this is happening, or if im just freaking myself out? how long does it normally take to go from seed to bud in the aerogarden? also how much is the expected yield?

Be patient man. Length depends on strain as well as many other factors. My AG grow is almost 2.5 months in and they still have a while to go. Yield also depends on many factors such as lighting, nutrients, quality of genetics, etc... Cant really predict yield until late in the flowering stage.

this is off of the notes i took, 3 weeks veg + 9 week flower + 1 week curing = 15 weeks give or take, you can veg for 4 weeks, and flower up to 12, so about 4.2-5 months is about how long it will take, as for thee yeild it depends on the strain, lighting, and other factors, but everything i have read so far and looked into, you cane eailsy get at least and ounce per plant, to me i can care less my yeild when i start my AG, as long as im growing i will be happy :D

thanks for the info...ive read that my strain can grow from seed to bud in 6weeks because it is supposedly the fastest growing strain, and it also grows short and bushy supposedly. i hope i can finish around 7 or 8

top 44 is a fast finishing plant (actually just ordered some seeds yesterday). i think its 6 weeks flowering time. Thats what most cannabis seed websites have posted is flowering time.
