Try using fresh seeds. The older they get the less potent. I've found that about 2 yrs is about the life of a seed. YMMV

What i did was chopped the plant at the lowest point poss.. then I covered the whole net thing with black duct tape ,, i left the roots in the aerogarden and harvested when the females were done,, after harvest ,I checked the root systems and the plants that I cut ,, the roots were still alive and seemed to have no neg effects ..

Korv - I'm happy to know the male roots didn't rot after you chopped the plants. That surprised me. I was thinking of trying to remove the roots but I think that would be hard to do since they're entwined with the females. I dont want to damage them.

I went to the local hardware store and bought 6 feet of clear plastic 5/8" tubing (59c/ft). I put 1 end in the res and just suck on the other until the water starts to flow. You can use anything to drain it into. I use a 1 gal jug and use the drained soup to water my houseplants. They thrive on it...
