hello to all that read i am on my first grow with the aerogarden looking for good tips to help the process i should have started earlier with this thread but am new to the site so i started my grow with two plants one on each side of the 7 pod AG for the first week and a half i put my germ seeds on 24/0 until about 2in high then switched to herbs for 18/6 vegged for about a month just started flowering 12/12 about two weeks ago my plants were 2 1/2ft in length when i started flowering them after a week and a half one started showing clusters so i figured a boy so i chopped it down i havnt removed root because its so intertwined with the other plant should i try to remove was just using the AG light at first until reading forums on this site so i got 2 19w cfls to add to the mix so im down to one plant and she looks like a girl no hairs yet but doesnt have all the clusters like the other plant just single sprouts crossing my fingers for it to be a girl very stressful havent gone into all the extra nutes just the lg AG tablets so far so good healthy looking plants in all too bad i had to redrum one so now im down to this almost three foot plant at my limits with the arm for AG lights so decided to LST her at first just tied her down some old bondage type stufflmfao but i didnt think she was getting enough light still so she is in my shed and im tryna figure out a grow box cardboard or build one just something to reflect all the unused light and low and behold in the shed is a 3h x 2w x 1d white cabinet with two shelves in it i opened cab doors took out shelves added one of the shelves to the bottem of the cabinet so now i my depth now at at least two feet a perfect all white grow box amazing what a top head can put his mind to so now im thinking im on my way i place her in her new home and i liked it one problem though when LSTed her she was now to wide to fit in her new home well no problem i decided well whats alil more bending gonna hurt she is still soft stemmed so i bent her to hell and back and ended up with a foot high bush instead of a mile high tree hey we all like bush right on one of my last bends i heard a snap uuuuughhhwhat was that just doing a little to much to lola and she gave me the business a broken top cola dammit well she was done with her transformation minus one severed limb i put the two 19w cfls(warm white) in the new box but was thinking its not a box till the front is covered so i had this white 3'x 3' plastic trey that fit the front perfectly now i have nice grow box with enough light for now i put the AG light almost halfway down from where it was problem solved well need the bud but i like the setup she has now so im all done with a setup i will keep for many grows just what to do with this this broken cola wasnt a main but still important to me it is three nodes down so i figured try to clone it have another 3pod AG so i followed procedure all steps just didnt have root gel but i tried it any ways worse comes to worse it doesnt give off roots so now u are all up to date with my current grow one last thing its 45 degrees tonight hope she is alright out there well if u see any thing i need to do just let me know new to this but i love peace family
