My 2nd AeroGarden Grow

[MrAlex]

aerogarden is great if you wanna waste money like that..a 5 gallon bucket and a spag.strainer work just the same way...
but hope this time around works for ya..heres mine at 6weeks veg.
and no this one isnt sick,i bend the shit outta the fan leaves to get them outta the way for the newgrowth..along with the main stem and everything else..this one just switched to flower

lol... dude im broke, but not that broke. I love your $4 dollar set up... Good Luck. FYI- You can get an AG for $50bux

Here's a pic of my plant in my AG 3 days ago when I switched it to flower. That's just one plant.

Lookin real nice man.... Looks alot like my 1st baby. It should be showin sex soon.

So all these doubters on the AeroGarden? seems to me your plant grew accordingly!! Definition of a COCK BLOCK on the plant, but i'm pretty impressed with the results i'm looking into a AeroGarden myself the 200 edition or whatever? Purchasing the Feminized Seeds off the trusty internet.. we'll see how that goes! I want to try growing just one plant PERSONAL USE i don't plan to distribute maybe thats why there is a lot of haters on this system because you can only grow 2-4 plants or so.. well any advice for me?

D'Hue

Thats cool man... Good Luck. Best advice I can give is to use the threads to answer your wuestions... its all here man, The AeroGarden Guide Link on my Signature is the best place to go through out your grow with any questions you might have.

Keep us posted,

good luck keep us up dated are photos commin

thank brotha,

I'll post an update soon... they're goin. I'll put some pix up tomorrow.

 

[MrAlex]

Question for ya, Alex....is that mylar you put on top of the ag resevoir??? You may have said, but I missed it even when I went back and read the post. It looks nice and effective!!

Also, I must agree with SICC, Zelda creeps me out.......

lol...yeah, Zelda is a REAL creepy little bitch.

oh an yeah its def Mylar.. I dont know how effective it is.. we'll see, it looks effective though...lol

Mylar is very effective!

 

[FoxCompany426]

Mylar is very effective!

95 to 98% reflective with no heat absorption.

 

[sadiesue]

Yeah, I never thought to mylar on the resevoir. That's a good idea to get some more light up underneath the plants!!

itll help to distribute light,where none to hardly any is received.The Mylar.

The other thing I noticed after I added the mylar to the base is that the water temp in the rez actually stays cool to the touch as opposed to always warm....


Im going to take so0me pix right now.... update will be up shortly

WOOHOO!!! UPDATE, YAY!!! HAHA!!

 

[MrAlex]

Ok Guys... I know I've been slackin' on the updates but here goes...

I started the veg cycle 6 days ago. The light cycle is @ 18/6 and I flushed out the rez and added a full nute tab. I don't know if this grow is going to make it because I have encountered a few major problems. My biggest mistake was my choice of sponges. I ran out of the AG grow sponges and went out and bought some natural lookin sponges that I cut out to size and put my seedlings into. They seemed to be going good and about a week AGO, I noticed the sponges were turning into mush and falling apART!!!! I FREAKED OUT AND SWAPPED THE PLANT OUT OF THOSE SPONGES AND INTO SOME USED AG SPONGES THAT I'D USED BEFORE WITH SEEDLINGS THAT FIZZED OUT THE 1ST OR 2ND DAY ON MY 1ST GROW (I BOILED THEM 1ST). THE PLANTS LOOK REAL WEEK AND I THINK THEY ARE STUNTED. OUT OF THE 5 THAT REMAIN, I THINK MAYBE 2 ARE WORTH SAVING AS OF RIGHT NOW. I'M GOING TO GIVE THEM A COUPLE MORE DAYS. I ORDERED MORE AG GROW SPONGES FROM THEIR SITE, BUT THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER.... DOES ANYONE KNOW IF SEARS HAS THEM OR SOMEHTING??? ANY HOOT HERE ARE THE PIX OF THESE SHITTY LOOKIN LITTLE BITCHEZ. ENJOY!!! (LESSON LEARNED)

Alex check Target if they are in your area, the one near me has the seed kits, might have to take the seed out of the sponge.

 

[FoxCompany426]

Man, I would definitely give them a few more days. I think they'll be ok. (EDIT, HAHA) They still got some green left.

 

["SICC"]

they look good man, why would you kill any of them, never give up bruh, the thing i was say is they look a lil burned, how much of a nute tab did you use? that might be why they are stunted, how many ectra CFL's you got in there? i would suggest at least 3 or 4 blue spec day light bulbs, should help them with some growth, flush the rez and let them chill for a couple days with fresh pH'd water, then when they come bac, start bac at 1/4 a nute tab. they can be saved, not relly that bad in shape tho, i've seen worse make it so its all good homie, keep us posted

 

[sadiesue]

Yeah, Alex...don't give up until they've got NO life!! I really thought a couple fo them didn't look very bad at all. Bed, Bath & Beyond in my area carries AG stuff....go figure?!? Look there. But, I've re-used sponges without a problem. Here's some advice from a woman...they won't respond to bein' called bitches, LOL!!
