o and for randirandi i actually tried tying the stems down with twisty ties, but i tried training them much too late, and because of this i was not able to bend them, but with my next grow i might try something like that. also. fox farm just seems to be the beginning growers best friend, when it comes to not knowing exactly what you are doing. thanks a lot for the suggestion though

thank you both

question about the timer guys. Now i saw how u can get the timer and the cord from radioshack. I havnt bought the aerogarden system yet but are there different plugs for the lights and the rest of the machine. ie do i have to do some manual separating of the wiring to be able to use a timer? also, do i have to tinker with the backup battery and whatnot. the reason i am asking all these questions s because i am trying to build a word step by step document for everyone to use. thanks

no you dont have to do manual work to get the lights seperate. they are only pieced together by a cord that can easily be unplugged, and replaced by a different cord

Question? I received my Aero Garden and planted on the 25th. I got two seeds to sprout, but the roots came out of the topand started to wilt. Why are they not growing downward. I fliped them over and cut the sponge in half. Is this what I should have done? I know, I'm new and really suck at this, but everyone has to start somewhere. Please help!!

you planted them upside down. its alright just plant them with the pointy side down. and everything should be good next time
