you can remove the stock light hood and use a MH light, but be carefule on how many plants there are and how big they get you need to keep in mind the res is only a gallon and can prolly only fit 1 tall plant or up to 3 smaller ones, ive got 2 going right now, cant wait to see how big they get.

Thanks Nirvana!
So the secret is to plant less, and not let it grow too much then?

I plan to keep mine on the bathroom, surrounded by mirrors, good idea?

Will put some fans in there, too.

If I can grow two plants and get some nice buds out of it I will be one happy camper. :D

actually mirrors eat light, so they arent good at all, go to walmart and get a emergency blanket, they are mylar, which is the best for reflecting the light

Hey man im using the emergency blanket right now and it works ok... I have seen other grow rooms in person using mylar and i have to say it seems much better... i think for the first time it isn't bad to use 98 cent emergency blankets... it works... But i think ill be upgrading for the mylar soon... I just dont like how thin the emergency blanket is.. after time especially if moved or touched allot it will seem transparent and loose the reflective look.. I dont know its like it crumbles from the inside... anyway.. if you have the 20 bucks go get the mylar from the hydro store... its my advice from a cheap dude..

If you can find it they also sell the present gift wrapping paper that has mylar on it...

hehehe good luck

Hmm, didn't know about that. Will try the blanket suggestion then. Thanks!
Can't wait to start using my AG. It's empty, feeling all lonely. Something really needs to be done :mrgreen:

there is one plug for the whole system, but you can get a different cord for the lights and put them on a timer, i believe all that info is at the beginning of this thread, on the type of cord and timer, id recommend getting a power splitter for the timer tho so you can add lights, youll need them :-)

Ok I got my aerograden deluxe yesterday. I'm gonna germinate with damp paper towel then when i plant the seeds I'm gonna leave the light on for a week 24/7. Should I not put FF nutes in right away or wait for the week to pass???. then i'm gonna set it on the Salad greens setting to veg. When i decide to flower i am gonna put a timer in there for 12/12. Does that sound alright so far??? Thanks Barryh

If you have a $119 to invest you can get a grow tent like the one i use for my AG's. http://www.buy-the-homebox.com/shop/product_family_homebox_xs.html . It is the perfect size for the AG's. Just check out my mother plants in my AG's. They love it. You can try and ghetto rig something and get half ass results or you can get the right tool for the right job and get the results you want.

Wahs goin on AG peoples... I went out of town and when i got back home i was pleased to see my babies had some sort of growth spurt...

One of my plants is budding quite nicely (first 3 pics) ... Minus the light burns from earlier, it is pic worthy.... Starting to see nutrient probs, but i thinks its inevitable at this point.... i dont know how long i have left, but none of the hairs are turning red just yet...

The other plant is a work of magic... i dont know what the fuck i did RIGHT... but im so fuckin hyped about this plant... when its all said and done, the cola alone is goin to be as big as my forearm... The pics are not perfect, but you can see how many bud spots there are, and how close together its growing... Its a couple of weeks behind the other one, so heres my dilemma

QUESTION:
Okay, im more of an outdoor soil grower... and i know your supposed to stop giving it nutes 2 weeks before harvest so the weed burns and tastes better.... Is this the same for hydro growing???? If so, how in the blue hell am i gonna pull that off with two plants in the AG that are going to harvest at different times???

Any advice would be great...

Great thats lucky for me! i live in the uk Haha yer i know im the only English one on here, but anyway i bought a aerogrow from the us, and oviously over there your plug socket voltage is lower than over here so i also got a USA to UK voltage Transformer and a whole bunch of flourescent light bulbs, i havent grown before so i hope it goes all to plan :roll::-|

Looking for this answer too, anyone?

Also, after I germinate the seeds with dump paper/plates, how should I place in the AG holes? I had sponges on mine but had to trow them away, so now I have only the little empty "baskets". Thanks! :)

Place seeds in gray sponge slit, root pointing down....

After you grow, you can't resuse the sponges... at least thats how mine are right now... the roots fuck em up pretty bad

You are going to have to order some more... go to the aerogarden website, and buy the deluxe seed pack... it comes with

-8 sponges
-8 baskets
-8 labels
-some small and large nutes
-and the dome lids...

Can anybody answer my previous post ^^^^

Tek, where the hell are ya?

use 1/4 strength nutes from very begging to get your babys used to there steroids you'll be giving them making them grow like monsters ,when the 24/7 lights on pump runs whenever the lights are on 24/7, you'll def need extra cfls and a good strong fan , dont try to use your aero garden without them its like a toy with out extra cfls but with them right up on the plant its a perfect mini hydroponic system i have personally yeilded over 2 oz on 2 to 3 plant setup ,,,:peace:420
