1st Grow…New to RIU….All feedback welcomed

Well it has been over a week since my last full update, and promise its coming.

I was able to flush the water last night and add the weeks fresh dose of nuets. I'm also happy to say that whatever was causing the bottom set of leaves to die off has seemed to cure itself. I removed all the dead leaves and rest of the plant looks great. They are a real dark deep green and flowering beautifully. The hairs are long and ghost white, while the leaves look like they were dipped in sugar.

I didn't have time to take pics last night, so I will tomorrow night and upload them. Just for ball park, how long you think ill be flowering for? I'm thinking about a month but don't wanna rush anything

at least 7 weeks

So I know its early, but always in my head, what do you all think I can expect in finished product. Have a number in mind and hope its low, but based on what yall have read and seen of my first grow what do you see me ending with. Rep added for guesses!

cant really say till she's done, but if you want a better harvest, get more lights.

I'm going with my buddy this weekend to get that LED!

cool, that should help, any harvest is a good harvest to me, each grow will only get better

I know I’m late on my posting, and I will not let it happen again! Lol
Im a little pissed cause this is the second time im typing this thing, damn internet froze on me right before I hit the post button!!!!
Soo this maybe a little less formal of a post, but here ya go…
1) I got the LED light from my buddy, and he actually had two. Im hoping these lights fix a few problems I have ran into. The first one was the crappy light quality from the aerogarden. The second issue I hope they resolved was to finally be relived of height restrictions. In order to use the lights I was forced to move the set up. Its not in aroom closet. When I originally started this grow, I was really wanting to keep it short and do the full grow under the aerogarden light. This strain was suppose to be a real short one, but I guess the crappy light made them stretch?? You guys agree?
2)Is there a strain out there that would do just fine using the aerogarden light, handle a little stress from beginners mistakes, and stays short for the aerogarden???
3) In the pics below the lights are now lower. I thought they were two far away, so this morning I lowered them. Is two lights to much?
4) due to the height, a couple weeks ago I applied a method of LST. I guess I just did it to late in the game. It has helped a lot, but the plats were just too tall and I incurred a little more burn from the light. Luckily, only a few leaves were touched, and that bud coming in on that set of leaves looks great. Since the plants no longer have a height restriction, I removed the LST. Was this a good thing to do?
5) In the closet a small office desk fan was installed.
6) the lights are on a timer of 20/4.
7) Pics arent great, Ill get more soon.
Feedback…….BRINT IT!!

Yeah the light made them stretch, two lights is fine, the more light the better. And you will always need more light when growing with the AG, you can get a yeild out of just the AG lights but its not gonna be that much.
The aerogarden is for herbs, thats why you have to modify it so much when growing cannabis.

So I was pumped about the new setup, but that is slowly fading.
I need your help and advice. I can think of a few things it maybe, but not sure how to correct all. I think mainly the closet is getting to warm for the plants liking. I don’t have any air vent is the closet, so try to leave the door cracked as much as possible. I was really hoping this wouldn’t be an issue as to the lights are LED, didn’t think they gave off much heat, was I wrong?? That’s the best I got, what you guys think?
The buds still look healthy, but leaves aren’t. See below. Please help a brother out, I feel I have gone so far I would hate to lose it now!

That looks more like a deficiency then something with the heat, when was your last rez change?

Less than a week ago.
Even though the leafs look like shit I feel the buds look nice.

Side note, I did some more reading last night and was seeing some posts on leafs dying during flowering. I know its early in flowering but could that be the issue?

Thanks SICC

I dont think that's it, almost looks like nute burn, but i would change the rez, and let her sit in plain, pH adjusted water for a couple days, then start back on the nutrients and see how she reacts. the yeild was probably effected, and she might take longer but its not bad. The next grow will be better, since you will have learned from this.
What strain is she?

They are green-o-matic fem from greenhouse seeds.

Ah yeah that's right, i would just give her the plan pH'd water for a couple days then like i said go bac on the nutrients. You can remove any leaves that are over 50% damaged as well.

So since were on seeds I found one on my stash tonight. Luckily, this is some Jah Kush I got from a dispenser. This good to start in aerogarden after green-o-matic?

good looking. looks like my first aero grow.. unfortunaltey theysucked at the time im assuming ag improved since then

good luck.. you WILL get buds

Yeah i would start it after this grow, you can take everything you learned from this one, and put it all into the next.

Well I can honestly say I feel I have learned a good bit. Between you guys giving me feedback and reading a bunch of other postings, I'm sure some has sunk in.

I know its a ways off, but one these pants have stopped flowering, what actions should I be taking? links to postings?

I know they will need to be trimmed and cured, but whats the best way for a noob such as myself to do that? I found this article on drying (http://strainguide.org/wp-content/uploads/growfaq/714.html), and seems a bit much, but do I need to do something this involved?

Also, based on my experence level, any strains I should look at for next grow?
