I have had 3 succesful crops from my aerogarden 3 plants at a time, more than an ounce dried per plant. i have had to use extra lights, but as far as ease of use it's great, until the system gets clogged with fox farms big blooms, and the pump heats up, making your water stanky inviting root rot and other nasties, if you wanna spend the money on the ag go for it grow whatever. but there are better ways, especially if you aren't the only one that gets the crop!!I bought an aerogarden for my GF to grow the legal herbs that it came with for cooking - and it is a cute little toy - the ONLY good thing it does is make Hydro EZ for anybody. But the size of this thing is NOT a solution for growing plants - THE ONLY thing i can see this good for in GANJA growing, is seed germinating and maybe 1 or 2 weeks of VEG - THEN it has to be TRANSPLANTED - I may also try cloning with it.
The aerogarden got me started with a GREAT garden. Get an Aerogarden with a airstone. Start seven plants and watch them EXPLODE in three weeks. Transplant to DWC and pot your mothers. Now use the aerogarden for a cloner and to start seed, and watch your yeild in SOG exceed all expectations. Its way too much for me to smoke.
