i'm on my first aerogarden experiment. i started 7 seeds in the ag. all sprouted.some took off better than others. i took the best 2 and put them in dwc under 400w hps, after 2 weeks.wow did they grow with ph at 6 and fox farm big grow at 1/2 strength. well after 4 weeks i put 3 more from the ag into dwc. the ag plants were weak and light green with stalks that are 1/2 the size of the dwc under 400 hps. soooo! the moral of this story is that the ag is a great seedstarter set up(salad green setting and an extra airstone) but it doesn't have the light needed to make deep dark lush well rooted plants. i added a 70 watt hps for 3 weeks and it didnt help growth much. all the seeds sprouted; what a great little sprouting machine but if you want large dankness you must remove them before they get rootbound in the ag.the pics show the 2 ag started and put in dwc after 4 weeks(awesome roots) the dwc bucket with 3 in it are just put in dwc and show the diffirence between 4 weeks in dwc and 4weeks in the ag. i put one seed only in the ag just for fun and it sprouted right up (sweet) hope i help someone.

I guess I don't have the ability to Pm you so I will post here instead and hope you see it.

How did you transfer the plants from the AG to the buckets? Did you just put the little AG plugs into the rockwool or did you take them out of the AG plugs and put them directly into the Rockwool? Thanks
