hey tek, been following your threads since about january. see Back in decemeber my wife got an aero garden for christmas and we were joking around about how good it would be to grow the "good" green in and she pretty much dared me to do it. so i googled aerogarden marijuana and low and behold what was the number 1 hit? Your rollitup thread on aerogarden growing (makes you a semi celibrity it seems) i read through all 71 pages of your thread (and i just checked right now it is up to 175,625 views gotta be some kinda rollitup record dynamite) and read through many many other threads on these boards on the subject of aeroponics. I have lately been follow this thread and decided (with the blessing form the lil lady, since it is her garden :P) to make an aerogarden attempt with the lowrider 2 strain.

So I contacted the good doctor (thanxs for pointing him out got my beans with no hitch popped them into the garden, unplugged the light from the figure 8 socket, set the garden to salad greens (which seems to be the general consensus for germination), and covered the lil aero seed baskets with a towel (to keep the light out just till i see some sproutage). they seem to be sprouting nicely ( i did have to turn over the seeds in te sponge thingy no big deal though) i have a few questions for you or any other aerogardners out there

1. After i see some green what garden setting should i set my pumps to? i know there is answers out there but everyone seems to have there own opinion to the answer of this question and i would really like to here teks answer.

2.What kind of light cycle to veg do you use? Once again i know this has been answered many times but there is so many different answers to this question i think my mind is gonna melt.

3. How long after i start to see some green should i add the nuts.

4. On the subject of additional CFL do you buy full spectrum bulbs or just the generel run of the mill hardware store bulbs? The full spectrum bulbs they sell at the local pet store are very expensive (about 47 dollars for one bulb) so i was wondering if it really matters. But they have some really crazy ones that are like 18" long CFL and i was thinking those may really provide some nice additional light coverage if placed vertically along the sides but i havent purchased them yet. was curious what everyone thought about them.

I know alot of these questions have been answered but there are so many different opinions out there i would like to see teks response (especially since now i am done with the research and ready for the hands on)
