    Aero to Soil?

    Good luck on building healthy plants with that. I believe soil might shock the roots too much. So they MAY not absorb as much nutrients as they should, and your plant would be alot healthy if you moved on to some sort of water based system. The Aero is a great machine for veg... think if one...

    Aero to Soil?

    Jamrock, What you would probably have to worry about most is the shock to the roots, and root damage. Someone wrote recently, to cover the roots with a plastic bag or wrap with syran wrap to remove them from the base. What I am going to do, is create a dwc system opposite the aerogarden...

    The Aerogarden killed my BAYBAY!(aussie accent)

    well, it has been extremely hot out here. I am sure the heat had alot to do with it. Looks like I might be able to get some bud out of it after all. the airstones in the res have kept it just alive to be producing bud still on a few branches... I am going to prune her real nicely... see if I...

    The Aerogarden killed my BAYBAY!(aussie accent)

    I was thinking of going on to a dwc system thumbs, and using the aero for cloning, and rooting and veg.. that is if they return my email, and send me a new pump... I have 2 airstones in my res. at the moment. In all hopes she may come back to life, if not too far-gone :(. I am happy to hear...

    The Aerogarden killed my BAYBAY!(aussie accent)

    Sigh.... so today would be week 9 or 5th week of flowering. I noticed yesterday tha my leaves were a bit droopy, and thought nothing of it. It has been very hot and humid here as of late so I assumed it was just heat stress, and that she would get over it with a little love and care. Today I...

    is canada safer

    No, don't order from Canadian seed banks. When Americans start ordering from our banks, your customs and lawmaking officials try to flex rubber arms. Thus creating a much unneeded ripple effect within our system. The last time this happened, they raided a seed shop in Montreal, took all of the...

    Ralphie fox farm has a nutrient guide. http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/hydrofeed.pdf only use half the stated amount. don't use the sprouting nutes they will burn your seeds.

    Papaya aerogarden

    naw man .... this bastardo is still growing... it just started showing its balls a couple days ago. I think he thinks I won't fight him or something. They are only growing on a couple of the bud sites... I think i am going to give it a few more days before I chuck it. Such a hard thing to do :(

I still am hoping one of my papaya's will be fem... one is starting to take form as one... the other is looking to have balls...

    The AeroGarden

    don't use the sprouting nutes... they will kill your roots... Instead of adding more chemicals to the resivoir, just go buy and airator from the pet store for $14, some tubing($2), and some air stones($4). I have a splitter, so one goes in the res, the other in my nutrient enriched water drum...

    A Comprehensive Review of the Aerogarden

    The thing about the aero, and its lighting... is that there should be no heat problems. You can keep the lights right above your plants.. like less than an inch. The cfl's barely give off any heat so IF you have proper ventilation in your cabinent... you shouldn't have any troubles
