Easy Ryder AG grow journal

[Hoss79]

Welcome all!

This is my first attempt at growing in an Aerogarden so all your help will be appreciated

I just placed two germinated female EasyRyders in the grow pods this morning.

Here are a couple pics of my grow area, let me know what you think.

Thanks for the post SICC. I have read a lot of your posts here in the AG forum and have found them to be most helpful.

A short update on my grow: Water heater busted and flooded my grow space, so I have had to set up a temporary while I dry out.

I also had to replant both my seedlings because the roots could not find the hole I had made in the sponge. I took them out, cut the bottom of the sponge in half, and planted the roots as deep as I could. Hopefully no harm came to my girls during the process!

I will be posting more pics soon...

Quick update: Day 4
Not much new to report.

Can someone advise me on whether to leave the domes on or take them off at this point?

Temp 91, humidity 30
ph 5.7

One pic of set-up, one close up on #2

Keep the bie domes on until there about to reach them, i would try and get a fan in there, 91 is pretty hot, not directly on them but at least pointing there way

Quick pic update

Not much new to report. Started out with 1/4 AG starter nutes tab on day 10.

They seem to be happier with the little domes on them, so I will keep them on until they out-grow them.

Let me know what you think!

there a lil small for 10 days, did they have trouble shedding the seed?

you got any extra CFL's in there?

 

[Hoss79]

Yes they had problems both shedding the seed and developing roots in the AG sponge. I had to replant both of them at about day 5. I'm trying to get all the mistakes out of the way on this first grow lol.

 

[Hoss79]

For additional CFL's I have 2 100w eq. 5500k

Here are a couple close up pics

These are the stats I can remember

Day 13
ph ~5.7
lighting schedule 20/4
nutes 1/4 tab AG starter on day 10

What do you think?!?

 

["SICC"]

well now that i look at them, i had plants just recently that i lost, they had that same blacc spots and the tips were curling, i never figured out what it was, that might by why there having a are time, but there still green, mine went off green almost yellow, i guess just give them some time

 

[Hoss79]

Looking worse today

Going to change the rez and add plain ph'd water.

Any other suggestions??
