Hey guys Ive started an aerogrow with 2 clones. They were 7 days old when I got them and are now about a month and a week in, on 24hour light cycle. I have a airpump with a small small airstone that im going to replace asap. I just got a nice digital timer and 2 42watt CFLs about a week ago. I replaced my tin foil surround with this white plastic tarp thing that the hydro store recomended. They are on a general hydroponics 3 part nutrients.. The floragro, floramicro, and florabloom. They are at about 2,300 PPM right now. I made ghetto Co2 by sugar and yeast in a bottle as well.

My questions as of now.. Is this enough lights?? Should I be giving it more of a certain nutrient right now? And should I switch them to 12/12 to start flowering? Should I have them turn on and off at different times different days?? Im taking pics right now and will post them up

I would say more light. If your willing to go HPS, you can do a 150 Watt HPS for really cheap and you will be amazed at the difference it makes. I was absolutely stunned. Plus a 150 does not put out much heat if your worried about that.

Good luck and I look forward to the pics.

I have a pretty big closet. I could definatly see myself doing that. I think my friend was mentioning he had one i could use...

Should i be trimming any leaves off to let others get more light and some have brown patches I think from the spider mites i encountered the past few weeks

i went hps and will never go back... i have a small 100w hps and i have to cut leave so that the lower leave get more light or the lower buds dont get as big. but this is only for now or till i hook up my 1000w

I would second the more light suggestion. when deciding when to flower, most people never think about overhead space. your plant will grow 3 times as high as it is right now by the time it is done flowering. you don't want to bend the stalk over unless you have to. just another factor to consider....

no worries than. 9 ft is plenty

Yea but if they got too high the light system id have to switch out. So basically what should I run them up to before I flower with the lights I have? I want as much bud as possible

Here is a link to a 150w HPS light. Its about $32 with shipping included and it works fantastic. You do have to do a little wiring but its extremely simple (I know nothing about wiring or electrical work and I had no problems.)
