I finally got my hands on both an aero garden and some lowryder#2 seeds.
Today i placed my sprouted seeds in the back 2 holes of my aero garden 6. Currently i have the AG light over the sprouts but im planning on hanging a 150hps above in about a week or 2. What is the best setting as far as the pump goes? once i hook up my new light the setting will be only controling the pump.
I am also planning on adding another air pump for more oxygen to the roots. Is this needed?

Has anyone used the AG nutrients with lowryder? if so did it work? i am planning on ordering some foxfarm or advanced nutrients as soon as my fucking debit card comes in.

Should i give the little sprouts any kind of nutrients for the first couple days or just wayer to get them going?

Will be posting pictures as soon as i see leaves

Wait untill there at least 2 weeks old to dd nutes, the stock AG nute tabs buffer the PH to a good level, but i would get the FF nutes if you can, im using the Tabs cause i got a shit load of em, Get an air stone, will deffinitly help, lowryder are good, but you can grow any strain, is space if an issue, there are techniques to keep the plany low, any questions fell free to ask good luck, post some pics :D

When you say get an air stone do you mean hook a bigger one to the AG air flow or another pump coming in through an empty hole with a bigger air stone on that?

Its and Air Pump and Air Stone, like the ones you use for an aquarium, you just gluw it to the bottom of the rez, with Aquarium glue or somthing and you have it go thru on of the growing holes and you cover that up so no lights reaches the roots

ok ya i was planning on doing that it seems on everyons AG grow they put in an extra air stone for more oxygen. im planning on getting the foxfarm 1qt bundle pack with the grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom. This should be enough for me to complete a LR grow right? Should i get anything else such as a finisher of some sort? Im going to order all this from hidhut.com My best friends brothers friend owns it and im pretty sure im going to get everything for a decent price

lookin good man, you should glue the plant labels on the grow nets, when they get bigger you dont want light to reach in there and promote mold and what not to gorw on the roots, and it also concentreates the ligh where the lil circle is, and i would move each plant to there on corners of the ag, since you got two there will be slof of room for them, other than that you got it down, i would also suggest that you break off the arm of the Ag and hang it with screws or somthing so when they start out you can put the light even closer to bush out the plants so they dont stretch, or add some extra cfl's in there, good luck

i just hung my 150 above the AG. Havent modified the hood yet but still plan to. What would be a good height to put the 150 above my almost 2 day old LRs? i have it about 15-18" above the AG right now is this ok?

15"-18" is good, but if you're using an HPS, keep in mind that it may encourage stretching during the vegetative stage. You may want to keep the plants low and bushy by placing CFLs directly over each seedling. Also keep the temperature of the room in mind, heat wreaks havoc on seedlings. Looking forward to seeing your grow progress, check out my grow sometime!

im setting something like this up in my closet to grow lowryder as well
do you think odor would be a problem with only a few plants?
