Im still confused on how to hook up the air pump and tubing to the reservoir. and does this have to be set on any type of timer?? any help is appreciated.

my airstone had a suction cup on the bottom,

no timer, pump on 24/7

i've heard of using a spray bottle to spray the leaves ontop of what the aerogarden already does. also, what do people mean when they say to cover up the pods with paper seals???

The AeroGarden comes with little round paper covers that you are supposed to glue on the top of the pods to keep light from getting to the sponges. If light continues to get in there, it will cause mold, root rot and other bad things that will hurt your plant.

Using a spray bottle can increase your humidity in the grow room. Other than that, it can be used in conjunction with certain products as a foliar feed to increase CO2 intake and make the cellular structures stronger.

It's not required. I'm not even sure how much it helps.

does it have to be a certain temperature in the room im growing my plant in?? also im confused with the whole ph thing. Do i test the water thats in the resivour and whats the ph suppose to be?? im its to high/low how many drops of the ph up/down do you put in? like does one drop raise it by .5 or....

Thanks

Anything below 80 is a good temp for your room.

As for pH, you can test the water in the res to make sure it's where it's supposed to be. Preferably, you should mix your nutes in a 2 gallon or so jug. This will allow you to top off your res with premixed nutes that have already been pH'd which will keep your res pH'd and keep your nutrients at a constant level.

As for changing the pH, you will just have to get a feel for how much to put in. Just check it, adjust, recheck, so on and so on. Eventually it will be easy where you can check it and know exactly what it needs.

whats the ph suppose to be at?

between 5.5 and 6.5, but as close to 5.7 as possible.

I just set up two AeroG Pros one with 3 Joint Doctor's Diesel Ryders and one with 4 of G-13 Labs Poison Dwarfs. Got it on 24 hr light schedule on the strawberry setting. The temps running high at around 85 during the day, higher if the door to the grow room is closed, and prolly around 75-80 at night with the door open. I'm running one small non oscillating fan on high and when circumstances are primo I open the door and run a regular 3 speed box fan on high directly on the door way. My grow area is about 44cubic feet. 5'2" at the tallest point or left hand side(H1), 3'1" across (W), 1'10" at the lower side or right hand side (H2), 4'6" running from the left hand side to the right hand side(C1), by about 4' deep (L1). To try and make it clearer the roof goes from the highest point to the shorter, 1'10", point forming a triangular roof. My issue is the heat and air circulation. I've considered adding a 70cfm flat whisper fan but if the 3 speed box fan only brings the temp down by 5-8 degrees F then what other options could I employ if the 70 cfm flat whisper fan doesn't cool the room to below 80-85 degrees F? I wanted to use an AeroG just to work on my basic growing techniques and to get some quick automatik nug for my head stash until I use my 400w HPS and other seeds. I've grown several times using bagseed indoors and out but almost always under the circumstances of growing it at someone else's place and leaving the little guys in their care resulting in either death, thievery, or poor care. I feel that I can grow but just wanted to take baby steps into it until I'm fully confident that my babies will do fine in a second larger scale setup. I'll try and post some pics of my current setup so you might get a better idea of what I'm talking about. My bad I'm new to the forum and trying to learn. I'll be posting on here, Cannabis-World.org,ICMag.com, and cannabis.com with full gro journals and pics as soon as things start to get under way. Any help would be much appreciated.
