hey tek im replying to your post from earlier, the reason you flowered at 4 weeks was becasue they were already to the top of the hood. mine are literally 5 inches tall, i have not even moved the hood above the lowest notch yet. i think that with time, these plants will be able to be flowered but only until they are about 7 inches. this way they will actually get to be 22 inches. i think i am doing fine, i have taken pix so i will show you that they are doing great. trust me i am not being a bitch i am just saying more examples than i really mean because i am blasted out of my fucking mind. and cannot think shraight. thanks a lot for you help though. ill post pics soon

The plants seem small for how old they are, but maybe its the strain...

You sound like you have a plan so go for it

I was just concerned that the plants would get too big for you if you waited too long...

If you flower at 7 inches I think that sounds good...

Peace

There's a lot more to cloning than just "chopping off the top of the plant." Do yourselves a big favor and read up on cloning.

I thought cloning was more til i realized it was just taking cuttings and growing from that. I do some gardening, so im not new to it...just new to working with this plant. It seems a bit trickier than working with the plants i normally do, thats for certain.

Ok, i killed off the 2 smallest ones. I took the others that had more than one in a pod and transferred one to the open pods. So now I have one plant in each pod. They range from 5-6 inches, except one that is extremely small - not even an inch but still growing. It does not appear that cutting the roots did any harm. I imagine they might have been slowed up by that but they are still reaching for the light. I got the fox farms today so I dumped the water and tabs (that came with the kit) and added that instead.

On the cabinet end, I got mylar and put it in. I'm testing out the HPS to see how hot it'll get and to figure out if I need to vent before I move the plants in there (which I am thinking of doing in about a week - which would make them a month +/- from seed. I got some chains to hang the light, hooks, and a timer (which I set and am setting up to run 12/12).

A couple questions. The thermo is reading 120 but it does not feel even close to that. I am wondering if that mylar is going to amplify the temp THAT much on the plant? If that's the case, I have a week to put that in... Any thoughts?

is there any way you could send pics? are your plants lanky? because 5-6 inches is what i am at. when do you think you are gonna start flowering? and from what i have heard mylar is really good at reflecting light not heat

That looks pretty good to me....

I'd say I wish all the plants in the aerogarden would grown like that

Peace

Shit, if you had 6 plants goin just like that, but a tad bigger, you could grab an ounce off of each one. 6 ounces is not a bad yield for a small grow like you have with the aero garden.

What I really want to see is someone put the machine to good use and order about 10 of them. If you could get these things to produce wholesale, you could have 3 POUNDS every few months, with cloning and mother plants. That's a lot of pot for such a cheap and easy method of growing.
