    ph keeps changing

    I use GH FloraNova Bloom, Hygrozyme, Kool Bloom, H2O2 & Floralicious in a 10-gallon res. I have unsoftened community well water, which comes out of the tap at a ppm of 350 & pH of 7.8. I used to use distilled, but my clones seem to tolerate the well water just fine & lugging all that water...

    Reccomend me a complete hydro set up.

    If you simply want to experiment with hydro, and want a pre-built system... try an AeroGarden (I have an AeroGarden Deluxe 200). Especially if you're a bonsai grower, this might be perfect for you. My first grow was in an AeroGarden. While it was much higher maintenance than a system with a...

    cloning help

    Fresh clones tend to be photo-sensitive. Keep 'em in dim light (not dark) on 18/6 for a few days, and they'll get a bit more tolerant.

    Aerogarden Beginner, NEED HELP!!!!!

    My first grows were in a 7-pod AeroGarden. A couple things to think about: -Since the reservoir is so small, be prepared for dramatic pH changes over short periods of time. I got myself a meter, and checked it twice a day. If you can't afford one, get a pH test kit. -Get an small air...

    Advice on where to go next after AG

    Hey guys! My first grow ever is nearing its end. Probably 2-3 weeks at most until harvest time. This AeroGarden grow exceeded all my expectations, and I really learned a lot in the process on how to grow. (Especially with the help from this forum.) If you've never grown before, I...

    Sexing reality check

    Hey folks! I've got 7 bagseed plants growing in an Aerogarden, one week into flowering. At this point they're over 2 feet tall, and massively exceeding all expectations for my first grow. On day 5 into flower, one clearly showed as female, with white hairs sprouting. On day 6 into flower...

    Aerogarden Starter Tray - How Many and How Long

    I've got 7 bagseed plants growing in an AG, not autoflower - and I'm just entering into week 5 of veg. By week 3, the roots were already so entangled & matted together at the bottom of the tank that it became flat out impossible to separate them without some sort of damage. This is my first...

    PH Crashing in AG

    Thanks for that! I'll give it a try. The brown spots on those lower leaves you see in that pic started when I let the PH drop below 4 and didn't catch it quick enough. That's also where the tank door lifts open (wrapped in tinfoil) - so those bottom leaves in front get a lot of stress from...

    PH Crashing in AG

    So - this problem seems to be continuing. I'm really stumped on the why... if anyone has an ideas I'd love to hear 'em. First off - is it normal in an Aerogarden for pH to drop massively in the course of the day? I'm mean 6.5 at 10am, and dropping to 4.5 by 4pm. Secondly - is it normal...

    PH Crashing in AG

    I ended up emptying & cleaning the tank, and put in fresh nute solution. So far, PH seems to have stabilized, and the plants are already looking a little healthier. Pics below:

    PH Crashing in AG

    Hey guys - what an awesome resource!! I've been reading, and started my own AG grow..... it'll be exactly 30 days from seed on Saturday. This is my first (serious) grow ever. I have 7 plants from bag seed growing in each of the pods, each ranging from about 2" to 4", and bushy. Yes, its mega...
