Hello everyone,

I'm 16 days into my first grow ever and things seems to be going pretty good. I purchased an Aerogarden about a month ago with the intentions of growing a few plants indoors. I planted my bag seeds 16 days ago in the AG without germinating, 7 out of 7 sprouted. I won a large sum of $$$ in an online poker tournament a few days into my AG project and that brought on a few upgrades.

I now have a 3x3 tray above a 20-gallon reservoir (trust me if I was a single man it would be much, much bigger). A Hydrofarm 400 watt hps, air cooled light. The room is Co2 enriched using a Co2 “Boost Bucket”. I got a digital PH meter and a digital ppm meter. Many people told me Flora Nova nutes were good stuff so that's what I went with. I was able to run the carbon filtered exhaust through the existing hole from my ceiling fan so not needing to get out the jigsaw kept the wife happy. Since I placed it in the corner of the room, the two sides against the wall were easy to cover with mylar. I hung a panel from the ceiling covered in mylar to take care of one of the open sides, the other side will remain open for reservior access & air flow.

The 6 plants in the pics were started in the Aerogarden and transplanted to the rockwool after 10 days, they are 16 days old and will be on a 18/6 schedule for another 2 weeks or so. I have feminized White Widow seeds on the way so I'd like to get started with those ASAP!! (that is if they show up, I was told seed packages sometimes don't make it from Amsterdam). I’m hoping to get advice from people who know what they’re talking about and going by some of the journals I've seen, this site has many. I know the guy at my local hydro supply store is getting really sick of my questions…just not my $$$. Plus, I really doubt he would discuss the proper harvesting, flushing & curing processes with me. I'll try to post updates at least every other day. Oh and my avatar is a picture of my growroom keeper when I'm not home, Enter At Your Own Risk!!!

Thanks jack, will do...And thank you Hags & ars1n for your comments.

So I was picking up some cloning supplies today and while I was there I talked myself into buying the 20lb Co2 bottle & valve set-up. I'm attaching some pics and I was looking for some opinions about how I set up the distribution tube. I'm not sure if it should be closer to the plants. I'm also attaching some pics of how my babies are looking today. Sorry so blurry...

Well it looks like this grow will not be my first grow afterall...My feminized white widow seeds have arrived, I'm picking them up in the morning on my way to work. I'll keep these going as long as possible but as soon at the widow gets growing, (I'm praying they are good seeds) I'm gonna have to give those girls the space they deserve.

Question: I have a 3x3 tray with a 400watt hps light (see pics). Can i grow 8 plants in that amount of space or should I stick to 6???

6 dude and get going with the widow forget the reggy clone the widow get going bro. Or ad more light and do it big might as well my friend you got the space.

yea id just do the widow

I couldn't agree more. I picked them up an hour ago and they look beautiful. I'm germinating them tonight...
