The AEROGARDEN!

Teknique70 · #1 10-06-2006, 07:54 AM

Ok so I bought this all in one system called the Aerogarden its pretty cool the Aero Garden, indoor herb garden, growing a indoor herb garden,indoor herb garden kit, beginner indoor herb garden kit,garden kit it comes with different seed kits. The one it came with was for salad greens and comes with some nutrient tablets to give once every two weeks specifically for the salad greens. Other kits are for flowers, cherry tomatoes, peppers, herbs, which each have their own special blend of nutrient tablets. Which one of these is most like a marijuana plant? I heard tomatoes.
Anyways, since I dont know much about growing I figured this was the best way to go. The kit comes with seven foam cylindrical shaped mediums which fit into a plastic hopper type device that slides into the hole where water is pumped from the resivoir yada yada. The tops of the foam mediums have a slit that when spread apart reveals what looked like several salad green seeds. I removed these seeds and replaced with one marijuana seed found from bags of weed. It has been 2 1/2 weeks and i have gotten 4 to sprout and had about 7 seeds never sprout. I have just placed new seeds in the last 3 slots, the other day so they should sprout in about 1 1/2 more days. They have only taken about 2 1/2 days to sprout.
I guess my main goal here is to get this new method out there and recieve your reponses and criticisms on this little project and to as well keep you all informed on this product as it may yield nice results. I feel like Christopher Columbus sailing into the blue with no guides. But I hope That you all can help guide me. lol ok I think I need to stop smoking before I write this stuff.
I have posted some pictures in my profile please view them because I have also noticed some yellowing on my plants, so help as to what may cause this and what I should do would be so great.

Thanks for Reading this
time for some

How about a timer?
DOes it have a built in timer?
If not can you hook a timer up to it?

Can it be left outside?

cheers

It kinda has a timer.... if you look at the 5 different plant settings they control the light and I think the flow of water through each plant medium (spongy type foam). But the manual doesnt explain the amount of light for each choice. There are different seed kits that coorespond to each setting (sold seperatley). The machine came with the seed kit for salad greens. the seed kit contains the seeds in a foam cylinder and a hopper (type like holder) for the foam cylinder. It also comes with nutrient tablets specifically for the seed kit in my case the salad greens (ive been using them) was thinking about next time getting a cherry tomato seed kit and using those tablets. Ive heard marijuana is similar to tomato in some ways. You can see that i have mine set on tomatoes and peppers and this gives 16 hours of light and 8 of darkness. Some of the plants were started at different times because seeds werent readily available but the biggest gap in age is 2 weeks. The oldest are the 3 in the center at about 3 weeks....heres a pic of the settings... .http://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-pi....php?n=450&w=o

No I'm pretty sure there is no setting for 12/12 so I figured I would just have to turn it on and off manually every 12 hours, kinda a pain in the ass, maybe I could get some kinda timer, not too sure tho...

this might just be the solution for me....I love it. I been looking and considering what the best approach is. I will be a small timer and for personal use.....but this is totally meeting the laziness in me.....plant and go. I'm gonna check this out....but PLEASE post some pics as you get going!
