Here's an update and some pics. THe plants in the pic are 5-6 inches each. I nute burned them and cut a bunch of yellowing fans leaves. In hindsight, I shoulda left them. I have one in each pod, for total of 7. I'm going to attempt to make about 4 clones, just for the hell of it. If any of them take, I'll do them in soil alongside the aerogarden, under the HPS. I figure I could fit another 3 in there, along with the aero. Kind of a test for the ones I have on the way...as follows:
Powerplant (pp)BubblegumWhite widowB52
The cabinet definately needs a fan/vent. It got way too hot for good growing (I shut it off at 110). I was thinking I was drill a series of holes in a 6 inch circle, put a gasket around a flange on the outside and just bolt it to the back, then run venting from there, with an inline dubt fan. I'm a little freaked out by f'ing with electricity. Most of the cheaper stuff seems need to be wired by the buyer!
I also 'picked up' a portable fan to put inside to circ the air. And I have this idea about fermenting fruit to generate CO2...but that's another thread at the moment. I've got a ton of bushes so I may as well use them.
TEK...wondering, how often do you add the foxfarm stuff and how much. I read the label, just wondering how you applied that to the aero. Another idea - IF you have open pods - is to do 'air layering'...I know it as layering. Simply, you bend the plant so that you can put a piece into it, DIRECTLY from the plant. Maybe but a branch deep in, bent in half or so. The idea is, that part of the plant will root and become a new separate plant. I've done this with berries, rosemary and some other stuff. It's not hard, just don't know if it would actually work in the aero. You'd probably have to at least bruise the the limb you are pluggin back into the aero, to sort of start the rooting process. With the plants I've messed with, i'd usually nick the branch, bury it and stake it down. Roots grow down, and eventually it becomes its own plant.
It seems a bit trickier than working with the plants i normally do, thats for certain.
