Hey this is my first Grow w/ The Aerogarden Ultra LED.

Currently going into week 3 after Germination.

Running 7am to 1am Lights on.
Pump on all the time.

(Suggestions Please on Nutrient Dosage)
Currently 3ML of Big Bloom
and 2ML of Grow Big
(Fox Farm)

Using Mylar Reflectors,
2 Airstones


Recovered from nutrient burn once and think my main strain might be showing some signs of it again.

Strains being grown are Black Cream, and Berry Bomb.

Right is where i'm at now.

Looks like your off to a good start. I would recommend covering the top of the reservoir with some Mylar or some other material that wont absorb the light.
I noticed that the temps stayed lower in the AG res once that was done and helps prevent root rot. As for nutes, I just finished my first grow in the Ultra (cfl) with Northern Light.
I used the AG nutes all through the veg time and nothing else. It went great, never had nute burn nor deficiency. Once I switched to 12/12 I just used 5 ml of GH flora nova bloom in 1 1/2 gallon every
other week (topping off res when needed). The final cured smoke tasted amazing and had no chem taste and smoked very smooth. I think adding all this other stuff is just overkill.
That's just my own opinion of course. The biggest thing to keep an eye on would be the res temp and ph levels. Also I found setting the water pump to 5 mins off and 1 min on worked a treat.
I kept the pump at that setting all the way to chop.
Wish you best of luck on this grow. I'm currently just starting again in AG with Suger Black Rose. It came free with my NL seeds. Cant wait to see how this strain turns out.
Currently on day 2 germination mode. Will post some pics later today from my NL grow.
