top 44 aerogarden grow

RhymesWithGosh said:

You dont have to flush every week. I have an aerogarden grow and i havent changed the water in 2 months, I just top it off when it gets low. Flushing gets to be a pain, especially when the res is full of roots.

What about just getting one of those small siphons for aquariums and doing it that way?

top 44 is a fast finishing plant (actually just ordered some seeds yesterday). i think its 6 weeks flowering time. Thats what most cannabis seed websites have posted is flowering time.

You dant have to change the rez, most grows with the AG that i have read, dont change the water, just fill it up when it gets low, i mean if you want to do the extra work thats cool haha

I've read all the boards too. Some folks change 'em. Water evaporates but the nutes an salts don't. If my ppm & ph go wild, I know it's time to flush some of the excessive build-up from it.

Never though about that. Clever idea. Might have to think about that myself for my current grow.

I ordered from marijuana-seeds.nl. This is my second time ordering from them. First time I got my seeds in roughly 10 days and the stealth package was very clever. Its primarily an indica.

well the plants seem to be doing alright because they are now growing there 3rd set of leaves, but 2 0f the sprouts have stayed the same size for the past couple of days while the others got big? is this because of nutes?

what do you think of using a screen on the ag? i was thinking maybe put one up almost to the highest reach of the light so that the plants bush out. just looking for opinions. thanks!

It could be. I'm unsure because they're in the same res. Be patient my man, they'll grow.

Could be your Ph is off. Have you checked it. Should be somewhere around 5.2-5.5. Make sure it's under 6 and above 5

Yeah, I change 1/3 of the soup weelky so salts don't build up. I just siphon it off and refill it quick & easy...not hard to do at all.

yea I'm lookin into doing that now, but we will see once I start haha

i came home last night and saw the plants were starting to turn yellow so i flushed the ag and filled it back up with distilled water this time....should i add nutes? im confused on whats going on with the sprouts?

i start with my ag sprout tablets and i'm going to start aftermarket nutes after 2 weeks. i'm going to flush between the sprout nutes and veg nutes and again between veg and flower. what all did you have in your water? you should be able to put your seeds in and just not come back for 2 weeks until you need to add more water.

yea i accidently added 1 of the ag tabs to the ag when the sprouts were a week old but what confused me was that 3 of the sprouts were doing good, and that only 2 were starting to show weird colors and not grow as fast....i dunno whats goin wrong with them? i decided to clip off the couple leaves that looked bad so i would promote healthy growth. was this a bad idea?

any one know anything about spraying plants with stuff to stop mites?

Try a couple drops (2) in a 1/2 pint of water and spray the entire plant, especially the underside of the leaves! Dem little bastards hate soap.
