Thanks man! I went for aeroponics/hydroponics because for several reasons:

1) The total control it gives you with what goes in your plants--I don't want to imagine all the crazy stuff that comes over the border in those bricks of Mexican schwag.

2) Significantly faster growth rate over soil/outdoor grows. To illustrate, here is a picture of a plant I set in soil at the same time as my Aerogarden plants. (This picture is a few days old, the plant looks significantly healthier now, but still way smaller than its Aerogarden peers)



3) Saves time and labor, since there is no weeding, manuring, or digging.

4) Lowers risk of disease for the plants.

5) Space efficient.

LOL, if that! I can't figure out if the plant is just stunted because it was left rootbound in a cup for so long, or if it's a sativa, because of the slender leaves. In any case, not expecting a whole lot from that one ;-)

You can put the CFLs in whenever you get them. Earlier on in my grow, I was switching light schedules because I was concerned the CFLs were burning my leaves. It turned out that it was the pH of 8.0+ causing all my problems, so make sure you check all the possible culprits. Just keep the CFLs about a half-inch away from the leaves and they will not get burned.

if you veg that plant long enough and flower properly,Youll get way more than a blunt.
Anyway it looks to me that you have a (K)Potassium deficiency or ph problem.Look into it!

I have the ones that glow orange do those work.. Not the daylight ones I don't have those

You're gonna want those daylight ones for the vegetative stage, it helps to propagate females. You usually won't find the daylight ones in Target or Walmart. You should go to Home Depot or Lowes.

I was feeling merciful a couple days ago, and I started properly feeding it with Envy nutes (after I took this picture). You're gonna love this purp, it just sprang right back into life! Hahahaha, I feel like a spokesman for Envy now!

I'll take a picture of it today so you can see the results :o

This is the tallest stalk of all the plants. It was the first to sprout, and has been the tallest plant consistently. As soon as I took off the Aerogarden hood, it rose above the canopy. Do you think this might be one of the males of the crop?
