I am using the Aerogarden Deluxe in a xs small Homebox to start and veg my mother plants. I will start taking clones off of the mothers once they start to show their sex in another week or so. The clones will be placed in a S Homebox and a 2x2 ebb and flood tray under a 400w Super HPS to flower once the clones root. I will be growing them using the SOG method and will have 15 clones in the tray and using CO2 during flowering. How many oz do you think i should get off of 15 clones my first harvest ? The strains growing are White Widow, Northern Lights x Skunk#1, ICE and Romulan. The plants are in week 3 and 4 of the FoxFarm Feeding schedule with a pH of 5.8. They are also being fed Liquid Carma and SubCulture. I should be able to start taking clones soon. :blsmoke:

Plants 1 and 2 weeks

Here are some current pics from this week which is veg week 7 and 8 of a 18/6 light cycle. I tried to take some pics of the pre-flowers but they are turning out fuzzy with this camera. They appear to be all female. I will start taking clones this week end. I am thinking i will get about 1 oz per clone.

That's my 2x2 flood and drain table with 15 individual pots to flower the clones in under a 400w Super HPS. I will be able to fit 15 clones in the table and should get at least 1 oz per clone. 2 weeks before harvest i will start 15 more clones to get ready to go into the table so i can get another harvest in 4-5 weeks. I am going to take my first set of clones off of my mother plants that are in the AG's in the morning. The AG's have been perfect for starting and vegging my mother plants.

Thanks TEK you helped make it all possible. Reading through all of your threads really helped me do to so well with the AG's. I originally started with the AG's only and then i started reading AL.B's thread "Get a Harvest Every 2 weeks" and decided to incorporate the two.

i cant see why temp has any effect on co2 inrichment all ur doing is giving the plant the gas it needs to grow and live (if it gets to hot or cold do we all drop down dead????)
i think that having the feed above the plants is a good idea as the gas dose full to the ground but i would give it to them throw out the whole grow to shorten the finishing time. last time i used it, i grew three very nice ladies in 2 1/2 months.
keep it up you never know till you try.

I'm gonna start following some grow journals, see what other people are doing and learning from their triumphs and mistakes. This'll be my first one, your pics are so fucking awesome it hurts. XD You must have a good camera.

Yeah man this looks like a good setup. If I had two AG's I would have them facing each other like that. In my AG I have the light hooked strait up to my timer with my other lights. Later man...

I use the full line of Foxfarm nutes, SubCulture and Liquid Karma. Miracle Grow is made for soil. I wouldn't use miracle grow in a hydroponic system. One of the White Widow clones are starting to show hairs on the top bud.

Hey guys i have a update for ya. All of my White Widow clones turned hermie after i made a major noob mistake. I installed a CO2 Atmospheric controller and i did not realize that it has small red indicator lights on it to show you when the exhaust is on or the CO2 is low. The day after i installed it i noticed the lights and put tape over them as soon as i found out. The White Widow clones were the closest to the controller. The first one i found had already opened a pollen sack by the time i found it, so now my grow has seeds. I chopped all of the White Widow clones as soon as i found the first one. Talk about freaking out. I thought my hole grow was ruined. I threw them in a paper bag with my cuttings and made some pretty good bubble hash out of them. I was left with some nice Northern Lights x Skunk #1 which has seeds but it's not that big a deal since its all for me anyway. The NLxSK#1 turn out to have a really nice big buds and the flavor is earthy with a hint of mint and the buzz is a up high and relaxing. I was disappointed that i did not get any buds form the white widow. I guess there is always next time. I can't wait until next time when i get a sinsemilla grow. I think it will be the romulan with some WW and NLxSK1. Over all my first grow turn out well other than some seeds and the loss of the WW. It will probably be this winter before i get the time to do another one though. I will try to post some updated pics soon.

nice work!

does that little bit of light from your co2 controller really make that much trouble? what about moon light for outside grows? are the plants really that sensitive to stray light?
