I started with an aerogarden pro 200 and would recommend it to anyone that wants an aero. It has 7 spots for plants, and a light hood that you can remove(with an extra figure-8 cord that can be had for about $8 ) if you happen to grow a tall plant. But I want to let you know that I moved away...

A similar thing happened to me and I worried about it too. I ordered a stealth hydro bubble system and it seemed to have some air in the tubes that went to the plants. I then built my own hydro setup on the cheap from the DIY bubbleponics thread and noted almost all water going to the...

I am a Fox Farm user (including Open Sesame/Beastie Bloomz/Cha Ching) and go pretty much according to their hydro chart regardless of my light setup. There are personal exceptions, but they are all based on the plant/strain and I won't preach others too much on these: 1) No Nutes in first 2...

There are a bunch of tools that you can use to kill pests. I just happen to use fox farm nutes and found their "Don't bug me" spray one day in the fox farm section. I bought a bottle and have used it just fine when a small family of spider mites showed up one day. It worked great, but I did...

Oh shoot, I just replied to you, but in the other thread you linked.

You really don't want the PH to jump out of that 5.8 to 6.2 range. Since the PH usually climbs in a bubble, I usually adjust mine down to 5.8 every day. I have had PH drops late in a plant cycle, but that is the exception. That 6.3 number you mentioned might have caused some of the problem...

Oops--it put a smiley face in where I wanted to say 5.8 I usually PH adjust my bubble system down each day to 5.8

I would germ them directly in rockwool blocks if you can as these are more stable than peat--that is you never have to worry about any rockwool falling down into your reservoir and clogging a pump, but I would worry about that with peat. You can buy them online pretty easy. I let the rockwool...

I have left my grow for 6 days once. They were around 6 weeks old at the time, and before I left I changed the water, filled the reservoir higher than normal, PH adjusted it a bit low (5.7--I usually bring it to 5.8), raised the lights, and left. The worst thing that happened was that the...

I see a golf bag with a 6 foot plant sticking out. :-P Seriously though, the simplest thing to do would be to bring a backpack/tools with you and chop them up right in the woods. Take all of the buds/leaves with you and leave the stems behind. You can try to squish some into your bag if...

I just realized today that I hadn't switched my side CFLs from the daylight bulbs to soft white bulbs and swapped most of them. But with autoflowers, does switching the lights out still help with flower production? I know that moving light spectrums can help trigger flowering in normal...

One thing I've never seen discussed are any drying tips once you harvest the seeds--do you just put them on a shelf in your cupboard for 2-4weeks?

I had a similar problem and posted it in this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/221041-newest-growth-yellow-near-stem.html If you are using nutrients, I would change the water right away--use bottled water only (no nutrients) and PH adjust it to 5.9 or 6.0 I would...

Great thread--I had a friend that told me AK47 had a pine smell to it, but can't judge from his remarks. I enjoy a pine smell and will check this thread out for possible future grows.

Just keep reading until it gets here--the first couple of weeks you are getting up and running you will be back here often checking little things while you figure stuff out. Personally, I'd tell you to pick up two 12" airstones and some air tubing/connectors from the local pet store. I...

The only thing I might try would be to bring the netpot into a sink and rinse that bad boy under running water for a couple of minutes. Hold it the entire time as you don't want any junk left in the sink mixing with your new roots. When you're done, run some bottle water over the plant before...

No, just run the one air pump 24/7. My first grow I had the pump on the same 18/6 cycle as the lights and the plants didn't die. But I agree that the extra oxygen in the water from the pump running all the time makes for happy roots/plants.

I started out with the Aerogarden and it's a bit limited. The reservoir is small enough (only about 1.5 gallons) that you really have to watch it like a hawk when the plants are big. Also, you are risking the health of the plants if you head off for a long weekend when the plants are mature...

I am afraid that there are different possibilities here: 1) are you over-feeding your plants with nutrients? 2) Is your PH level correct and are you keeping it stable? 3) Are you changing the reservoir every two weeks or so? Any of these can keep your plants from absorbing nutrients correctly...

No nutes for the first two weeks for a seedling. During this time you will notice very little change in the plant, just keep doing what you are doing. At week three you will probably be seeing the third set of leaves on the plant maturing--here you want to start to introduce nutrients at a...
