    First Grow: Aerogarden Ultra Water Type Queston

    I'm growing the AK-47 Auto in my AeroGarden Extra. I started with distilled. Then I decided to switch to spring water. I'm going to switch back to distilled. I have found that the spring water has a high PH and high PPM starting point. I want to take up the PPM with nutes and not so much with...

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    Yup Newbt, that spring water is that high. I checked it a couple of times to make sure. I might go back to distilled or Aquafina and see how she likes it. I think I'm going to keep the PPM about at the 5-600 range but start with the lower PPM water. I think she likes the fox farm. Thanks...

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    Ok, here is some more input. Yes, I do calibrate my PH and PPM meters. I flushed and refilled Sunday. Here is where I'm at: The plain spring water I used was PH of 7.6 and PPM of 227. I added my Foxfarm and CAmg+ and PHed it down to 5.8. The PPM was 549 when I poured into the tank. 7 hours...

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    Thanks all. The help is truly appreciated. Airstone is installed since the start. Do I need to empty, clean and refill the res every time the PH is off? Mr. Natural, How do I find your old journal? Can you post a link? Ok, I emptied, cleaned and refilled the tank with fresh spring water with...

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    Thanks Mr. Natural. I do mix and PH the nutes in a gallon jug before dumping in the tank. After the initial fill I add the PH up or down as needed right to the tank with an eyedropper just a couple drops at a time and then I gently stir it. I have not been very good about cleaning the tank. I've...

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    No I didn't top off. I had it really full the last flush. The PH didn't lower by itself. It had gone up to 6.4 on Thursday night so I added PH down to stabilize. The water just got down to where it needed more this morning. I added a bottled of purified water to hold it over till Sunday. I'll...

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    She looks really good. No sign of anything bad on the new growth. Only thing is tonight the PH is perfect at 5.8 but the PPM is up to 745. Is this a normal thing?

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    PPM is at 660 right now. Should I flush? Or is that going to be close enough till Sunday which is when I was planning to flush and refill anyway.

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    I know its not from spraying because I only did that once and I have spots on growth that wasn't there when I did it. I have brown spots on all but the very newest growth. I started the Fox farm nutes at 1/2 strength yesterday. Today my CaMg+ came in and I gave it a 1/2 teaspoon in the...

    Vision ak49?

    I'm curious too. I have a seed for a future grow. I liked what I read about it so I added one to my last order. I'll probably be on here looking for help when I start it!

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    Ok, I agree with you that is a cal/mag deficiency. The 4 oldest leaves are the most effected. There is plenty of new growth with no problem shown yet. I ordered the CaMg+®, Quart but it won't be in until Wednesday. Should I cut off the oldest leaves that are pretty messed up but still plenty...

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    She is at 13 days now. I think I started nutrients too early. I have some brown spots on the older leaves. They look just like some pictures I've seen on here that were Nutr. burn. I just flushed and replaced with strait distilled water. I'm gonna give it a couple of days and see if she...

    How does my 9 day old girl look?

    This is my first grow (kind of). The first try died shortly after sprouting. Totally my fault. She is an Ak-47 Autoflower germinated in my AeroGarden. She is 9 days old. What do you think?

    Am I worrying about nothing?

    My plant has looked just like this for 3 days now. No change at all either way. No growth above or below. PH and temp is all good. Is it stunted? Or almost dead? Sorry the pics are upside down. I don't know what happened.

    Am I worrying about nothing?

    This is my first grow ever. I just got an Aerogarden Deluxe Extra. I got my AK-47 Auto Flower Fem seeds last week. on the 26th I placed 1 seed into a glass of distilled water overnight. Next morning it had sunk to bottom. I cut an aerogarden sponge down one side and placed the seed in with the...
