Hal: it's a great learning platform for someone who doesn't know anything about hydroponics. It's a complete, compact, active hydroponics growing system and if you can follow their directions it's very forgiving. To grow a couple of great little plants all you have to do is to add an aquarium...

Ottawaliquid: there's a lot too consider in lighting. For years, those of us who were growing with T-8's in shop lights didn't have the choice of light frequencies that we have now but we still grew good stuff. Photo period seemed to have been more important. We had plain old Phillips...

Aero: If your tubs aren't transparent, clear plastic, you should have no problem. That's why I buy the gray tubs. Just make sure you cover the tops of your net pots. You can get the appropriate size white plastic net pot covers from most hydro stores and that will prevent algae and mold...

Blocker: I'd listen to DC-4 or see what the following people have to say about cloning. I wish there was an easier way, but from what you ask, I get the impression you might be new to this so I’d suggest you RTFB and refer to the following resources. Probably Cervantes, Rosenthal and Green...

Organ: I start with six seedlings that sprouted from either rock wool cubes or Root Riot seed starters. By now they're about three inches tall in three inch Hydroton filled net pots in a ten gallon Sterlite tub. Initially I fill the tub to the bottom of the net pots. The roots are dampened and...

Grower: personally I think the light frequency may be a lot more important than the wattage. Lighting is a very complex subject but some people try to make it a lot more complicated than I think it needs to be. First, you need the vocabulary of how they measure the light that you're using for...

Dwill: I think it depends a lot on what scale you're intending to grow on. I'm strictly a personal grower, less than six plants for my meds and I'm in no hurry. I use T-5 fluorescent lighting from seed sprouting through harvest and it's worked well for me. They burn cool and cheap and frankly...

Stranger: I grow my legal limit of 6 in a 2' by 4' by 6 1/2' tent so a 5' by 5' should work, though I bet it'll be tight. Your tent doesn't have a reflective interior? I've never seen one like that. HSA

AKW:Lighting is a very complex subject but some people try to make it a lot more complicated than I think it needs to be. First, you need the vocabulary of how they measure the light that you're using for what you want to do with your plants. I’m not an electrician and I certainly don't...

Jay: figure out your cubic feet area and get a fan that will change it every three to five minutes. If you're just pumping in hot air because your ambient air temperature is too high then you might need to turn on the A?C. If you don't have one, you might consider a temperature/humidity meter...

Alex: with a magnifying glass or a pocket microscope, when you see most of your trikes have changed color from clear to brown or red, I'd say it's time. My friends flush then. I wish there was an easier way, but from what you ask, I get the impression you might be new to this so I’d...

Eyes: I found Technaflora's, "Recipe for Success," worked the best for me with an A/G. You can get a sample/starter kit for around $30, if they're still that cheap, at most hydro stores and they'll last you a long time in an A/G. It's complete and all you need is a gallon of good water, a set of...

Chief and all other interested parties: I got an email from Sensi Seeds today advertising a "CALIFORNIA INDICA SEEDS," strain that sound like what you might be looking for. It's the Indica strain that works best of my osteo/arthritis pain. It might not be for you if you just want to get fucked...

Eyes: I guess you could say that. Probably more than some and less than others. I've got three upgraded seven holes, "Classics,"and one A/G-3 in the kitchen that I grow culinary herbs in for my wife. I got my first "Classic" model as a Christmas gift from a friend about seven or eight years ago...

Dune: everything with Aerogarden is proprietary, and you have to know that was on purpose. I've searched high and low for anything aftermarket that would fit but the cagey bastards designed everything to their own specifications, patented them, and had them produced in China. I've seen guys jury...

Some Beech: the drop of a half point is pretty drastic and that could explain the stress they exhibited. I've never heard of anyone recommending a drastic drop like that, where did you get that idea? I wish there was an easier way, but from what you ask I’d suggest you RTFB and refer to...

Rebel: that may well depend on the nutes we're using. I generally use Technaflora's, "Recipe for Success," in my bubble tubs. From one stage to another I give them a week of 1/2 strength and then full strength from there. Full strength is usually anywhere from 1,000 to 1,300 ppms and like you...

Rabies: It's not so much just the size of the grow space as it is the number of plants you intend to grow, how big that strain is going to get and how much area in square feet, or in your case meters, you're going to have to illuminate. I wish there was an easier way, but from what you ask, I...

Manganese: here's my take on it: after a week I start feeding my babies a half strength formula. If they like it, and they always do, then I go to full strength on the second feeding at the end of the second week. I strongly urge you 'not to use' the A/G nutes. I've tried a lot of different...

All in: I too grow with the Eco Growing System and I love it but I switched back to dirt last December and I manually refill. I would suggest you talk to their customer service folks or email them. As Eco growers we're a rare breed and they're the best qualified to help us. Good luck. HSA
