-first time grower-


So i bought an aerogarden deluxe a while back for growing some marijuana, and im just now getting around to doing it. Its been about a week or so since i planted my germinated seeds, and ive been using a 24 hour light cycle and plan on switching over to 18/6 when after about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks in. I am rather concerned about one of my plants already, it seems to be growing rather good but it has a couple red dots on the largest leaves, near the end. (SEE PIC BELOW) I dont have airstones yet, but everything else i have. I am using the nutrients that came with the aerogarden itself, the small ones. the pH is good, and what not. Right now im just looking for a bit of advice as to what i could do to improve the growth or if im doing something wrong that could be corrected. thanks for all your input look forward to hearing from you guys soon!

p.s. seeds are from some regs, wanted to experiment before i got into anything like lowrider.

Im in the same boat with you except i have a smaller aero..my 2 pods w/ regs seeds are about 2 weeks old but the 1 pod with White widow is taking its time for some reason..root just left the seed. Its my understanding that in the veg phase, the plant uses a fair amount of nitrogen and phosphorus food. This will optimize growth in your plants..Im using flora gro and flora micro with surprising results..Also I didnt realize how much of an impact the extra air stone does..You should grab one, you wont be disappointed. As for the light cycle issue, I wouldnt rush the 18/6 until the plant is at least 10" and then 12/12 @ 12" or about 5-6 weeks old.

I agree. Using the same deluxe and once i added an air stone to the mix things started to speed up. I myself will be using fox farms nutes but either will get the job done. Good luck man I'll keep poking my head in to follow your grow.

so i decided to get a 10" airstone and im going to order the foxfarm nutrient 3 pack. Just wondering what schedule i should follow with the nutes.

will post pics on airstone setup and follow up with the plants!


Edit- What settings have you aerogrowers been using? ive been reading around and see that either tomato or herbs is the way to go, input?

if those all turn up female your gonna have a prob...you dont have enough room in the rez for all those plants

haha, i didnt honestly plan on having all 7 of them live, but i guess we will see what happens. if worse comes to worse, i have another AG i can move them into i suppose?

Do you have any extra lighting besides the A/G hood. Always good to have extra lighting especially when you decide to flower. A/G hood is good for the beginning of the plants veggetative state. But you should start planning on getting some lights for flowering, bigger buds
