Hello everyone.
Now I know I have been a recluse with this stuff and I haven't been reporting anything I have been doing. Here is the low down:

My setup:
Aerogarden and 2 potted plants (Pink Kush)
Unknown seeds in AG
Vegged with 27W fluorescent bulbs and worked like a charm (1 bulb each)
1 Fan
400 HPS Grow light with Professional Hood
Reflective Wrapping Paper (mylar substitute)
Fox Farm Nutrients (only Big Bloom and Grow Big) and feeding schedule
DampRid (Cheap Dehumidifier to protect against mold)
A Fish pump and Stone in Aerogarden
Distilled Water


My Story:

What actually happened in the AG was that one plant fell over and I cloned the same one. I started flowering today and I am 4 weeks into vegging.

For some reason though, the ones in the AG are wilting a bit: I think it is Zn deficiency.

The ones in the pots are clones and were given to me.

I initially started with just the AG and regular CFLs from the hardware store.

I then bought the HPS which I just set up.

I have been trimming nearly all of the fan leaves that are blocking the lower portions of the plants from the light.

My grow area is about 3X2 so it is not much space, but enough for me.

I am on Day 1 for flowering and so far so good.

Let me know what you guys think! Any suggestions or comments are welcome!

I have more images if you guys want as well.

good set up ther the plants look nice and healthy

Loooking good, keep us posted.

My aerogarden plants are males and are now hanging by their roots. I am starting over...

how do you tell male from female? why should i care? thanks.

are you serious or are you messing with us? if you are serious - read the FAQs but i'll tell you - bud comes from females only! and if you want seedless bud, you have to get rid of the males as early as possible so the females won't have any pollen.

if you are messing with us - good one -you got me.

Welcome to the site ChiefGanja! And thanks for sharing your experience.
So i have this straight - the plants grown in aerogarden were wilted and turned out to be males (though it looked like they were heading for death anyway)?

And the plants under the 400w HID are growing fine?

thanx for the info. i was serious, i know absolutely nothing about marijuana except how to roll it and smoke it. i'm ordering a cd from high times as soon as it's back in stock. ag seems to get some neg press around here. justified? again thx.

your areo plants look really nice...a little to nice

and that last pic...that plant is mass bushy...i like it
