Clones in Aerogarden???

Yea I am, I was worried cause my ph scale only goes down to 6.0 and my water's lvl (only used 1/4 strength nutes this week) was close to 7.0, took a while to get it down to 6.0, like 60 or more ph down drops, so I was a little concerned about its accuracy. I ordered a hydroponic specific ph kit online so that should be here for the next res change.

Yea jus try to keep it at 5.5 to 5.8, 60 drops is alot, you ordered the Gen Hydro one? that one should work

UPDATE: So my new Ph kit came, and I tested the water I had in the aerogarden and it was way to high, above 7.0. So I replaced the water with new nuted and phed water of 5.7. This was last night, I check the ph of the res today and its back to over 7.0. Whats causing the ph to go up in the res???

if you use the tabs, they should buffer the pH for you, just keep adjusting it and you should be fine

i'm using the foxfarms trio at 1/2 strength atm. Should i switch to tabs or add them in addition?

naw use the FF, just keep the pH on checc and you should be fine

kk, I'll just keep adjusting it. Thanks for all the help!

Got the aerogarden hood off the system and suspended today. The ph was a little high this morning, but I put it down and its been staying well. Heres some pics of the setup now. How long should i vegg them for? They've been in there a week tomorrow.

you shouldnt be using nutes this early on. Let them get a little bigger rootball and then add the nutes when they are strong enough

BAD NEWS! I had to go out of town for the weekend, and so the plants were alone for 2 days. When I came back the back plant was looking alot worse. Here are the pics, I had the Cfls on while i was gone, did it get too much light? The ph was a little high when i got back, but I adjusted it right away. I was thinking about removing the dead leaves, what else should I do???

First pic is of the plant up front, which looks pretty great in my opinion, the other 3 are the plant in the back.

looks like a Magnesium def. Try some Cal-Mag. Either that or pH.

Yea the pH was probably really high for a long time, keep the pH proper, and i would try adding like 1/4 of a nute tab, so break it in half, and us a half of a half, pre dissolve in some water and that should help you matain the pH

Yea, when i got back it was at 6.5, I checked it when I left and it was at around 6. How can I know to be around 5.7, I dont really notice a color change until its already down to 5. I took off the dead leaves, I believe they were the 3 oldest, cut them as close to the stem as I could. Going to add the nute tab now. If the problem persists I'll try to get some magnesium. Thanks!!!

make sure you only add 1/4 of a tab!!!!

Added only 1/4 of a growing tab yesterday, should I keep adding 1/4 a tab with every res change?

Jea since there still young, wait a week, then flush and add fresh pH'd water with nutes. By then they should have recovered, then you can slowly work your way up untill the end when you stop adding nutes

How do I flush them? I changed the res water last wednesday, should I not change it this week and just wait another week??

flushing just means you change the water out, wand rinse the rez of any left over nutes that may have built up on the interior, i would just wait until you flush again

So its been a little over two weeks with the clones in the AG. I got some pic updates. The back one still isn't doing very well, I'm considering pulling her out and just letting the strong one take over. what do you guys think??

yea that other on might be a lost cause, the good on is doin great, try and keep the pH proper, i'd say you can start with 1/2 of a nute tab, that should help
