what is the best model of the aerogarden to use? and will the bulbs be strong enough for the flowering phase to growing completly in it no other lights?

Umm none of them. Seriously don't waste your time or money.

Yea but who cares if it's "hydro" if it sucks balls. You're paying what like $150 for the base model to grow some shitty leggy weed plants that are gonna have so many problems when you could build a better system for way less or even just grow in soil for like under $20 and get better results. Don't bother lol.

im not trying to be mean but in my opinoin this would be in my personal best interst lol but yea so it would be hydro then right?and it would be seedless

no it's not "seedless". You can use seeds or clones. Tell me why you want some "hydro" so bad? So you can brag to the homies you got some "hydro"?

Aerogardens suck because:

1. First and foremost they're an expensive POS

2. Their lights suck

3. Their resevoir is wayyy too small and you need to constantly refill it

4. Their pots are too small to fascilitate reasonable root structures

5. They have this notorious thing where leaves start to die on the plants for some reason.

6. You could build a system that's 3 TIMES better for 1/3 of the COST in 30 minutes.

7. What plants that do survive are small and leggy and produce rediculously small yields.

I got the AG 200 Pro. Has an extra light where some has fewer and the lights will move up higher than some. You can raise em two feet I think. Sure been some folks showing off some nice looking killer weed which come from them things..but do think you will need extra lights or different lights for flowering. I aint into flowering yet but I just been adding some of the high wattage curly tail CFL clamp lights. Some say the cfls will work others nag about it. Think if I had it to do over again I would invest in some good lights and hempy buckets.

This is a good compact setup that someone made and wrote a guide with pictures on how to make it. The parts are around $40 and he said it took about 30 minutes to build. To someone with no experiance of how hydro/aeroponics work this can seem a little overwhelming, but I assure you that once you get it it'll all come easy to you. Plus there are also so many people here to help you. Anyways, here's the link: The 30 minute 6 plant aero build

You could also go with hempy buckets (super easy passive hydroponic system)

Or bubble buckets. A bubble bucket/DWC (Deep Water Culture) can be made into a setup like that link I posted where you have 6 (the amount is totally up to you) net pots cut into the top of a plastic container and just fill it with a good nutrient solution, and throw in a couple air stones attached to a pump and voila! Nice little hydro system.
