what would be best to solve promlems as follows:-

a) one of the first blades is shorter and twisted than the opposite?

b) slightly yellow tips right at the very end

c) how to lower the pH from around 7 to 5.7?

these problems are on different plants in the same resevoir with the same nutes. some are completely fine others are ailing. i will be getting an oxygen stone later.

yeah thanks i had a bigger dig around and found a few posts about lemon juice and baking soda. ill use it for now and when my pay comes in ill get something more stable. i got some RO Water today and that seems to have brought it down a fair bit.

Its probably the setting you have it at.
I believe strawberry's has the pump is one 24/7 but when you get the air stone you dont need the AG pump on
Plants look good, make sure to keep those grow sponges covered up

hey man that new setup looks awesome. those look like they are gonna be 3 good healthy babies. and i like that bong! :P

as for the sponges, might wanna wait for sicc to okay this,
but i THINK it would be okay to use panda film or mylar. you can get em for extremely cheap at any hydroponics store. google "mylar ZIPCODE" and it should give you closest locations.
i uploaded a pic of how i blocked my extra holes, im sure you can do that with the actual pods too. just cut out a little circle, cut a hole in the middle slip it over.. yea but wait for sicc to okay that.. because im not 100% sure. i kept my aerogarden paper thing on.

edit, i found another pic (not mine) - uploaded that too. you can use cardboard!

ok... you seem to know your sh*t.. I have a deluxe aerogarden. Im on week 1 so all the supplements were the same . But i need help figuring out which nuts to use (that come with the kit) and the light timing. i currently have it on 24 hour light and pump throughout the week. i have a 7 pod aerogarden with 3 holes with ak48 and 1 with white rhino. Does anyone know which plant nutrient schedule i should follow? and what light timing should i keep them on . i had them on 16 light 8 dark but now i have it on 24 hour light . im 1 week in .. Any tips would be Amazinggggg!(im not trying to buy nutrients, im a cheap person :smile: )

if your using the nute tabs they give you just start at 1/4 of a tab, pre dissolve it in water before you add to the rez, and slowly bump it up every week. you want 18/6 for veg, 12/12 for flowering

I think it would be better to veg them out man, then flower then, it takes a while to re veg them, and it will cause some stress, i would go to 18/6

how long should i grow them for 18/6 whats a good way to tell when to switch them over these seeds are nothing special just out of some good nug's i found along the way another thing sorry for asking its easier but on nutrents i added to much the 1st time "2 full tablets" so im gonna wait for a little bit tell next time but since the lights are broke on it i have to make a scedual on when to feed them manually that i know im only suppose to use 1/4 then gradually increasing it for veg but i need to know when i should so
