Daves Aerogarden grow (with pics).

dude this is what i have it was like 14 bucks i think. at home depot im pretty sure iy said 60 watts max, but i have 6 42 watt so thats over what they recommend, and it doesnt heat up or nothin, never had a breaker pop, if i had the cash ide buy 2 more splitters and lights for it. im a technician for automobiles and motorcycles so i am pretty good with electrical so if you have somethin like this you should be fine.
 
yea it comes with these weird wire clips on then end, then you just push the wire ends into the clip and then wrap electrical tape around it., for safety. very simple
if you dont have those clips and have any questions on any wiring just ask, and the ground i just stuck inside the fixture. ground isnt a big big deal in ac current.
 
i found some new shit on this shitty camera so ive been tryin to figure the best settings for bud pics, so here are some pics from today...

Ive been lurking on aerogarden posts for a month and so far looks like you are the master. One question for those who do not have a meter - when you add water do you add pure water or water mixed with nutes? Also, did you say that you change the water every 2 weeks? Thanks for your answers.
 
yea man i change the water every 2 weeks, so then i add the gall. of distilled water. then add the aerogarden nutes.i used only half the nutes at first then i went full when the plant got pretty big. if you look back in my journal i tell you how i nuted them the whole way through becuase i honestly dont remeber:joint::joint::joint: now. any questions holla at me......:joint::joint::joint::joint::joint:
 
I finally got my fixture set up :hump: and i think i'm gonna start a journal and post some pics soon. Your plants look great man! The setting on the third pic that you posted doesn't look that great though.
 
it's a bath fixture like yours with 4 sockets, but i used 4 y splitters, and on each y splitter, i have a 42 Watt Orange spectrum and a 27 Watt Blue Spectrum CFL, alternating. I just have it hanging kind of like yours, just hope my house doesn't burn down. It's freakin BRIIIGHT in that room now.
 
No mylar yet...here's my first pic (looks huge)

The one in soil is just some crap i'll end up throwing away, but the AG is what i'm gonna focus on.
 
nice dude yea that looks like the same fixture. if you go to walmart and go in the camping hunting section(mainly camping) you can find emergency blankets, there only 2.11 a pack and its real mylar. crazy shit

and i def. recommend gettin some of it
 
Way to think outside the box... i woulda never thought about emergency blankets. I may even have some... My AG plants are 2.5 weeks from seed still vegging, and i'll probably start flower in about another week after looking at other ppl's grows.

Thanks for the quik reply, but I still have a burning unanswered question. I'm a scientist by trade and have been underway with the AG for 3 weeks with good results sofar from the hundreds of thread pages I have read so far. What I want to know is when you top off the water each day as they suck it down, do you add water mixed with nutes or just plain water? Also are you using a meter to measure your total dissolved solids/PPM solutes?
 
no im not using a meter. and im just putting regular distilled water in at the water add time. i usually add half a nute in between my scheduled water change just to give them a little nutes to keep the nutes up a lil bit but not over nute them. but basically thats why i have a water change every 2 weeks so at that point i know my nutes are good.
