Hello, everyone. I have my aerogarden now and I am about one week into growing. I am using Fox Farms nutes, an airstone, timers, and have a 150watt HPS bulb and ballast for additional lighting for later. I am using 1/4 of the recommended nutrients since I just dropped the seeds into the pods (I ordered the seeds from nirvana and since they came after the Aero, I did not have the time or inclination to germinate). Anyway, all is going well so far and I think this will be a very fun experience. The Kicker? I'm not even smoking! I quit about a month ago or more (can't remember) and I will not smoke again until I can smoke my own blood sweat and tears, and that's that. I have no questions at this time because I actually know how to read. Well, I'll keep you posted and put up some pics of my "grow room" I made. Props go to Tek for starting this thread, showing such a great deal of follow-through, and all you guys that make this site work. You know who you are...
P.S. I don't want to be the poop in the punchbowl, but the aerogarden does not use "Aeroponic" technology like the ads would lead the unsuspecting consumer to believe. It is hydroponic and it works just fine, apparently...but if you order this with the belief that it uses "Proven NASA aeroponic technology" like the ads say, your'e gonna be seriously pissed. The stuff that NASA uses is WAY better. I'm not a naysayer, I just want to let you guys know that the advertisements are a bit embellished as far as how it works. I blame marketing...
