completely new to this!!! and want to start of EASY!!!

Aerogardens work GREAT for what we grow around here. Check you-tube, there alot of success using AGs. Also, the Aerogardners thread has some good stuff there.
I personally just harvested my 1st ever grow in an AG3. Small harvest but a great way to learn basics. I just upgraded to the AG Extra.

WOW this had had a great response! almost to good! so many different ways... i guess i should spend some time and plan a space for it and then decide which route im going to take...
another thing i was curious about was i had seen and heard about led lamps being used? has anyone tried that? because surely that would save a heck of allot on the electricity bill, no?

i am still on the fence about Aerogardens as for the money couldn't you just buy a couple of lamps and some soil and have the same outcome? or am i missing something? or is it just the ease of use that is so attractive for the aerogarden users?

how long did it take from seed to bud in the Aerogarden? and what size crop from how many plants did you get?


and if i go soil is it really important to buy premium soil or can i just use household compost?

thanks allot guys!

also i know this might sound a little crazy but has anyone ever tried growing plants more vertically so it spreads out wider like a bush and only get to mabye 1-2 ft tall? or is that crazy talk?
cheers,

Once they seeds pop put them in a starter soil. Nutes in reg soil can cook em.

wow reading up those aerogardens and they look amazing... i think this will be the way to go for me... then maybe get a mother plant going in the future and just have clones going in the aerogarden...
anyone who has experience with these machines i would love your input! what nutes to uses? and what settings you have it on? also anyone know where i can get em cheep? i have seen the fleabay... and are they noisy? i hear they have a pump in them...

thanks again for everyones help but i think i have found the way for me!

thanks,
maumau

No they're not noisy. I have mine set on "tomatoes". Last grow I used XNUTRIENTS MICRO/GROW/BLOOM. Probably will use the same this time. Make sure to get a 6-7 pod model. But, dont use 6-7 seeds, Id say 3 maybe 4 max (from what Ive seen). Also you should think about a clamp light or 2 so you can add lights during flower.
Again, check you-tube for Aerogarden grows...alot of good stuff there.
Hope this helps

i have heard quite conflicting stories about it... who much do you crop per plant if you have 3-4? i was thinking maybe just 1-2 nice bushy plants i have seen people claiming 7grams to an ounce per plant...
thats good about the noise as i was thinking it would go im my bedroom...

Im no pro, far from it.
I just got 8g dried off 1 plant in my AG3. The yield depends on ALOT of different factors. Lights, nutes, temp, humidity, etc. The bigger AG units should produce more than what I got in the AG3.
About putting it in your room, the sound shouldnt be a problem, but, come flower time you need a place where it'll be in COMP[LETE darkness (no light leaks)during the 12 hrs of lights out.
