Beautiful idea! i want to see this progress! cant wait to see some massive clone action! 
Diesel Ryder's in an Aerogarden

July 29th, Plants still alive. I would say doin great but i'm not so sure they are growing but very slowly, the roots are growing good but the plant is really slow. My wife says thats how the lowryder 2's were but i honestly dont remember and didnt keep a journal. Maybe we'll see a growth spurt in a few days.
July 31st, Oh what a difference a day makes!! on the 29th I changed the water and gave them some stronger nutes (20-6-16) at 30% strenght. In two days most of the plants have doubled in size! a few are still trying but I'll be happy if i get 1 good plant of each sex.
Here are some pics, the last two are Ruderalis indica plants i have outside with the tomatoes they're about 2 ft tall.

Aug. 2nd, Plants still growing, all but 3 they are doing some weird shit. The roots they have turned green and kinda hardened almost like the main stem, then it started sprouting new white roots from the old green ones. They're acting almost like clones just starting to root. Gonna leave em in and see what happens, I dont know what caused this? Maybe the PH fluctuations i had during sprouting?
Aug. 5th, I moved my best 4 plants to a home made aerobucket, constructed of a 3 1/2 gal bucket with lid. An 86GPH submersible pump, air pump and stone, aerogarden plant-site pods, 3/8th in. tubing from pump/res to just under the lid of the bucket at the plant sites. Covered by two 105W CFL's. It works basically like an aerogarden but with more root space and light lumens. The other 3 plants i moved to soil planters, getting my aerogarden ready for seed sprouting (plus i just wanted to use the aerobucket i made).
Pics below of the new bucket and some of the white widow/skunk i harvested and trimmed today. these are the top buds, the plants still have the lower half I'll let mature another week or 2 b-4 harvesting. By the way this is the best drying method i've found. I cut and trim(the trimmings are smoked too very resinous) my buds then put them in paper bags and hang the bags in my dry box for several days once dry i put them in mason jars for at least a week (the more the better) of curing in the fridge. I've tried other ways and methods but this one works best for me. The white widow/skunk was grown in an identical bucket.

My aero got some kinda fungus in the res water had to transplant them into a soil pot, only 5 lived 4 fems and 1 male the male i let live to pollenate my fems and they are doing fine now, should be ready to harvest in about 3 weeks. i'll post pics soon.
Here are my 4 Diesel ryder fems, I put all of them in a 16" planter pot under a 105W CFL. the tallest is 16 inches and the shortest is 10. They are 3 weeks into flowering and have been pollinated by a male Diesel Ryder, I'm guessing i'll get around 20-28 grams from each but it will be heavily seeded.
The last pic is a limb I cut and dried from my Auto Ruderalis Indica plant thats outside. She is about 2 ft tall with 3 shorter limbs. (well 2 now) I also pollinated her with the Diesel Ryder male to get my own Auto flowering hybreds. She has been flowering for about 10 weeks now, the rest of the plant i plan to let the buds mature another 2-3 weeks, normally i would harvest at around 7 weeks but, these i wanted to make sure my seeds have plenty time to mature. The cross between the two should give me a potent auto that yields around 120 grms.

THE BOTTOM LINE.
Okay my aero didnt work out so i transplanted the 5 that lived into soil. Four fems and 1 male, I let the male pollinate, 2 of the fems were heavy seeded the other two not as much. I cut and dried them dry weight is 4.75oz after i took the seeds out i had 3.98oz. I put 3oz in mason jars currently curing, the rest i'm currently smoking,,,, and ITS THE BEST BUD I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
