another great discovery if you move your plants around about every week they become stronger, and they grow more evenly, you have to do this before the roots become entangled with eachother. this helps the plants alot and works very well. has anyone else attempted this?

Hmmm so your saying playing musical chairs errr pods with the plants?

Hmmmm....I like the idea, but seems kind of a pain in the ass. But probobly not really while the plants are small.....

So like Once a day rotate each plant to one pod to the right....

Once the plants get real big, this might be hard to do but might not be neccessary any more and could just leave them in the pod...

Well go for it bud

Peace

I thought about doing it, but haven't. The most I've done is to rotate the plants around a bit.

well what has been going on is that if i move them around once a week, the light gets distributed better, as well as the roots dont have a chance to hook on to anything, allowing more water flow to get to them, and so they dont lock in one place. it has kept mine small and bushy which is what we need

Hey guys, it's hard to follow what you're talking about since I don't have my own marogarden up and running just yet. I'd really appreciate pictures of EVERYTHING. I'm talkin' the plants, the roots, the pods, the lights, the whole setup, etc.

Trying to get a feel for how I'm going to do this project and visuals help.

alright ill get right to that tomorrow, ill see if i can upload them as well tomorrow

Has anyone considered tying the stems down with say those twistie things that u use to close up a packet of bread? So instead of messing with the actual system ( im not very good with my hands) , how bout just tying the plants down and making it grow lower to the ground? any thoughts?

sorry for the back to back post but i have a couple other questions for the aerogarden kings:
1) Have you considered using a weak guano tea instead of foxfarm. any thoughts on that?
2) how long does flowering take? Assuming I veg from seed for 4 weeks and prune them so they get nice and bushy on the tomato light cycle, at what point should i be able to tell the sex (week 3? ) and how long after changing the light cycle for flowering to the point of harvest?

Much obliged

flowering can take any where from 6-12 weeks, a safe guess is right in between at about 9 weeks....It all depends on the strain....

so 4 week veg + 9 week flower + 1 week drying = 14 weeks

It takes around 14 days of 12/12 give or take to be able to tell the sex...

I'd stick with the fox farm...

Peace, take pics
