hey everyone I got my Aerogarden back in january and havnt looked back since. Here is my list of materials and such --

Aerogarden (extra large 7-pod)
5 additional cfl bulbs surrounding the plant
Fox Farm hydro trio nutes
air pump/air stone
fan
one bag seed (from dat good good) lol

the following pictures are from Day 70 and Day 72

I only vegged for about 37 days, then i started flowering.

Its my first time growing and I realize that I should have vegged for longer but so far it hasnt really affected the plant. Let me know what ya'll think BE CRITICAL because im trying to grow more after this ;-)

Thanks everyone.

Was up Mkap2122? :smile: Welcome to the show, not bad for a first run. Looks like your girl has a little nitrogen deficiency. Hows your Ph levels? What kind of water are you using? You got the idea right, add all the lights that you can cool...Good luck with your grow.

:peace::peace::peace:

Yoo thanks guys....I'm using purified water only. Yeah I just flushed it all out tonight and got it back to the correct ph levels and added some grow big for nitrogen. I don't have a ph meter cuz I'm cheap haha. I got those little test strips from walmart so this whole time I've really had to guess the ph. That's prob one of the most important parts but oh well. After this last flush I got it pretty damn close.

Also I think the plant responds the best to the cfls. The brightness of them really makes the plant grow, thus far.

Also, if anyone knows for a fact.......those yellow leaves with the nitrogen def....should i just clip them now? Will it hurt the plant in any way? Am I better off just letting them go till they fall off and die on there own? I dont want to clip them then have the plant mess up because I was too impatient or something. All help appreciated. Thanks

Let them just die then pull them. I wouldn't go clipping just yet. Looked like most of the leaves were drooping down, do they ever stand up? Might be too hot?

Ok good thats what I've been doing. It could be to hot I don't have a thermostat or anything...and it's a closet grow. They've never stood up, even the fan leaves kinda droop. You think that's because of temp?

Could be, they should stand up tall after the lights come on. You might get some ph test drops from a pet store, a little bottle will last a couple grows. You are right ph levels very important. Thermometers are a buck dude...

I was looking at pics of my AG grow. It was in my old setup so no more spaghetti cords for me. And Mr. Natural is right, PH is crucial in an AeroGarden. I also used Hygrozome to manage roots.

This is the top off the left side of my plant. The stalk has a little bit of stunted growth and im not sure why. The leaves are a different texture/look. Please someone help me out and tell me what you think it is.....and for the love of god please tell me its not the start of a male plant ...lol damn i hope not...

Lmao mr natural...well it's not fine because the top leaves are starting to brown at the tips and shrivel up...soo idk how you grow but I want perfection....what is the point of growing if your not trying to get the most out of your plant? I'm not trying to get 10 grams of mids? That's just dumb. And to get the best your plant has to be healthy, mine is not, I'll post more pics soon so you can see....
