My first grow

Okay, I have the Aerogarden, with the figure eight cord, airstones, Fox Farm nutes, and a couple CFLs.

I started this at the beginning of October, started flowering November 15th or so, and this is a picture taken yesterday. I have some white hairs, I think, on both plants, but couldn't get a closeup with my crappy camera.

I know they are too tall, but what else do you all think?

Welcome to the site, AdorablyNOObie!

they are, as you mention, tall. But i think this is one of the more successful aerogarden grows i've seen. congratulations!

Since this my first grow, I used some random bagseed from friends. That way, I can tackle cloning once I have a handle on growing. No point in wasting good seeds, right?

Thanks for the encouragement. :-)

I am a soil gardener (Of the traditional veggies and herbs type, not weed) from way back, so I feed them more in keeping with what they "tell" me they want, rather than in accordance with the schedule. I always used the french method of planting everything close together and the feeding the heck out of them (manure, mulch, compost, teas, etc), so this is a method I can get behind.

The tiny jar on the side is a stem of basil I had for cooking that randomly took root

Okay, I have added a lattice to tie down the branches. I lost a small bud to light bulb burn. Anyhow, the growth and vigor of these babies is amazing me. I think I am hooked.

I attached pics of the buds and of the whole setup. I am so hooked.

Would it work okay to keep a mother in soil and then let the clones flower in the aerogarden?

Any comments and advice appreciated!
