here a lil write up i made
AEROGARDEN GROW SHEET
BY "SICC"
light hours:
1. 27/0 for seedlings (first 2 weeks)
2. 18/6 for vegging
3. 1212 for flowering
Grow Time:
3-4 weeks vegging
9-12 weeks flowering
Lighting:
Stock AG lights for vegging. ADD additional CLF's DURING VEGGING, Connect a figure 8 cord (found at radio shack, or PS2 cable) to a timer to control light schedual. DAYLIGHT blue spectrum for vegging, and SOFT WHITE, red spectrum for flowering. Mix of two should be placed throughout grow. or you can invest in an HPS/MH to set up, cheaper and better, but either is good
Nutrients:
Stock AG nuet tablets, DO NOT ADD UNTIL THEY ARE ABOUT TWO WEEKS OLD!!!! 2 small tabs every two weeks, 1 big tab every two weeks. Or you can do 1 small tab every week for 8 weeks, last 2 weeks stop using tabs flushing before harvest. Crush one side of the nute tab and pew mix into water that you will be addding into the rez, then wait a day and add the other half, making sure you dont burn any of your plants. Or you can use the Fox Farm line up, they have there own feeding schedule that you cn find online.
Preparation:
Fill to brim of AG, past the "fill to here" marker, use bottle water if you can, or you can buy gallon water jugs at like 5o cents each or somthing, let the water sit out for a day with out the cap on before you add into the AG rez. once in flowering, the plants will triple in size and drink alot of water. Place an Airstone into AG, cover any unused grow spots, blocking any light from reaching the roots. Have a fan to keep rez water at a cool temp, and to strengthen the stem. A thermometer for proper temperature, and a PH tester. paper towel germination. Place seed into a damp paper towel, place that into a zip lick bag, put in a dark cool place and they should crack within two days. Your plants will show sex after you put them into flowering, will show within the first month or about 14 days. Poke hole through the Growing sponge, then cut that in half. once connected to the Timer, the setting on the AG are just for the pump, keep it on Salad Greens to keep the pump on 24/7.
