Daves Aerogarden grow (with pics).

Yea that makes sense. I haven't attempted to use my AG yet, but have done HPS in the past in soil and still had to water pretty frequently. After reading alot of these threads I'm still undecided on whether or not I want to buy fox farm nutes or just do what you did and use the AG nutes. I think Tek was saying to use the AG tablets for the first 2 weeks and then start adding fox farms. But to clarify my previous question about watering, do you mean you are spraying the plants themselves or adding to the resevoir?

my bad man, yea forgot to answer that fully. the reservoir is what im adding too. i dont really kno much about spraying them.

week 9 pics, 1 week flowering there forming some nice flowers. my camera sucks so pics are still from a distance. im gonna try to get a new camera soon.
i took the pics a day early because tomorow i gotta flush the tank and all that fun shit, and i didnt kno when ide be back on here.

i took a few pics of my home made ghetto ass closet grow room, i got a huge piece of black tarp and made the entire closet air proof, then i covered most of the inside with mylar until i ran out, and i built a carbon filter with a fan built in to exhaust. i found the scrubber info on here and it works sick. no smell yet

anybody have any ideas on a weight of my two major plants. i just finished week one of flowering and plan to flower as long as needed and i have plenty of room for growth. or any suggestions about misting or anything, im new to indoor growing. thanks

Hey Daveg1,
Just

Just a few questions. You mentioned a buddy of yours who is planting in soil. Are both or your's plants growing at the same rate? I understand that you only used AG nutes and all.
Also, how much smell is there from the plants and how do you vent it?
It's disapointing to see you go soil after giving the hope to all of us here , but I'd still imagine that AG is easier then soil, not to mention cleaner for apartment living, no?
Good luck and keep reporting!

yea man the ag is def. a fun thing to grow with, and it works very good. it just has limitations on growth i think. the reservoir is only a gallon just doesnt seem big enough to produce big time plants. but for yourself its really good i have nothing bad to say about it other then when your plants get big its hard to change the water. from what ive seen soil produces bugs, my buddy has them in his grow and i have none. and my ventilation is a 2 inch slot the entire bottom of the closet door, that gets the fresh air in. then i have a plastic door inside the closet, so then you have to open that after you open up the real door. then all the exhaust goes out the top through the scrubber.
i really have no smell problem unless i leave both doors open. if i do that my apartment quickly fills up with a nice skunky stench. other then that my set up has worked the balls. the whole reason i tried to make it smell proof is that i live above a restuarant and it gets a little sketchy at times. i kno the landlords real good(family) so i dont worry about them its just people down there i worry about. and so far i have no smell problems and inside the closet really stinks. so its all working as planned so far. and as far as my grow and my buddies, they were about the same height 2 weeks ago but he starting flowering a week earlier then me so his arent as tall as mine are now. he had some grow space size issues.
peace man

here is my buddy holding my plants while i cleaned out my reservoir. there doing pretty good. gotta have 2 guys to do the water change.

Beautiful plants! I hope to get that far.

hey, my boyfriend has extensive knowledge and experience in the art of growing and the first thing he said when he saw your pictures was "why is the mylar(sp?) wrinkled up? it should be completely smooth, that will affect the prospect of a good harvest". he was so strong in his thoughts on the matter that i felt the need to pass the word on to you. thanks for the info though

wow thats a posh set up. how much did all that set up cost?.

yea how much did it all cost
and are you going to flower with the AG?

whats posh? the setup was very cheap minus the ag. the ag alone was 110.00 . then the cfl's are 8 bucks times 4 is 32. the fixture was 13.00 so were up to 45.00, then i just bought 2 more cfl's so 61.00 in lighting.
not bad

Very nice plants!!!! I'm impressed! I hope mine are going to be like that some day!
So, I got another AG (from my credit card free gift) and I moved my two plants to it, Put second feeding nutes in and I hope it all goes well. I also adjusted a timer to 24hrs and I hope that will ring positive results. My plants are about a week and a half old and they seem healthy. The only thing I am confused about is why are they laying down? At first I thought that maybe they can't get their roots thru the foam and can't support themselves but now when I was moving them, their roots seem quite big. Here are the pics if I figure out how to insert them. Good luck to you.

thanks they are starting to look pretty good. you dont even need to use the nutes really until they are 2-3 weeks old. and i never used the starting nutes, i waited until the plants got good size and healthy. then i went straight to the growing nutes but only 1/2. and i didnt see any of your pics.
try again bra

I think I managed to upload my first pic

where is at man?
