1st AeroGarden Grow

I went to Lowes today and picked up some 300W equiv 2700K bulbs. I went ahead and mixed em in with the 6500K's. So now I have 14200 lumens running at all times. In a week I'm gonna pick up two more 300 watters and use all 4 with 2 6500Ks runnin with em for flowering til I get my HPS system.

Cheers!

Dood .!
you got a serious problem .! thats more then something to over look and hope will get better,
i just had 2 babies, completely snap, due to root rot ; for a reason i have yet to find out why.!
The water level, and constantly changing the PH, is the biggest cause i have found, and light getting to the res, seems to be the fastest and easiest thing to check for.
Keeps us posted. !

It only took me 2 light cycles, and i had to cut it, and and try and re-root, !
so my advise is act fast. !

No worries man, I got it all under control now. They were starting to get pretty bad awhile ago, but I sprayed em down with fungicide and lowered my water level a bit. These pics are in the process of bouncing back, they were worse.

Lumens dont add!I told u this a while back!start a notes file on ur computer aand copy and paste everything you need to know about growing in there.With those bulbs you have 4600-5000 lumens.You want alot of lumens you have to get a stronger bulb such as HID lighting. a 400w. setup is!Lumens are in the strength of the bulb,ballast,etc...Thats the only way to increase the lumen output.

Ok, so I just researched that, and I understand what you mean now. Either way, it will be good to have 6 or 7 lights so I can cover the entire plant in light. Thanks for the info bro, much appreciated.

Try getting a heating blanket from a pet store, they're pretty cheap. I think that's your best bet.
 
gotsmoke, you can just put a lil portable heater in there,they real cheap too..i had to have one on my last grow.
