So I just bought an Aerogarden online, I need to pick up a light, ballast ect. Will a 400w HPS be significantly more effective than the lights it comes with for vegging?

HPS is more for flowering stage. But I hear it will help in veg stage also. I use nothing but CFL's and T-5's during vegging, and I get nice huge plants.

I had been thinking about doing a hydro grow, off and on, for over 20 years. When I saw the ad for the aero garden, it got me going again. There are a lot more products and info out there now, and I have the space, so I figured I would give it a try.
From everything I have read, people use the pump, timer and resevoir, then need to add more light. These are about the cheapest and easiest to obtain items needed for a hydro grow.
Unless you were born without thumbs and don't have access to a wal-mart and a decent home improvement store, it's just not cost effective.
In the past four months I've been experimenting with different setups. I've put together six different systems. Including water pumps, air pumps, air stones, hose, pvc piping, spray nozzles, timers, tubs, and buckets, I've spent about $250. None of these took more than an hour to build, and believe me, I'm not the most mechanically inclined stoner out here.
If size is an issue, It can also be done with smaller tupperware type containers.
So, unless you just want to grow fresh herbs on kitchen
counter, I think it's something you and your plants will outgrow very quickly.

12/12 for flowers 24/7 for veg

remember plants triple in size when flowering specifically indica strains the tallest and second picture the other 2 are sativas shorter but the same rule applies

Hey did you just take clippings and start your clones on 12/12? If so do you plan to grow them all the way thru on 12/12? Is this a good way to go? I have one good plant that I've been flowering about three weeks. Would recommend starting clones now?

how long after sex show will you be able to get bud been flowering for 2weeks????

cloning is done best on 24/7 or 18/6 it has made some weird things happen especially with flowering nutes. one clone has roots coming from the end of a stem. as soon as mamas go the clones will be on 24/7 or 18/6
