ok you dont need to run your aerogareden for 4 weeks 24 7. i grew a couple plants a foot tall with over 2 oz's easy on each plant! cured!! only vegger for 2 weeks then started flowering!!!! it just depends on if you know what your doing or not, what kind of aerogarden you have. plus what you give it to eat and sleep. Light is also a key factor, i added cfls to the side of my plants .had my aerogarden lights plus for flowering i brought in some hps, a 150 watt plus a 250 watt . all of these things determine how your plant will grow! what kind of ag do you have!!! hopefully its not the space saver 6 hopefully you have a veggie pro or deluxe model!! check out the link in my sig if you doubt my words!! anyways you need any info you can pm or just reply on here!
