Still trying to figure out. The obvious thing is that the pH level dropped off for a while. I was adding half a reservoir of pH adjusted water every day, but that made the overall pH too low. Something was going on in the tank. Still waiting for a reply regarding what the nutes are doing to...

Here are some pics from the intensive care unit. Sorry about the quality; I'm using a camera phone. Anyone care to venture why bigger plants in the AG reservoir make the pH plunge?

After four weeks of flowering, not only can I not tell the sex of the plants, but the bigger ones seemed to be dying. The lower leaves were all turning brown and brittle and some of the upper leaves were shriveling up. For about two weeks now, the plants had gotten so big that the reservoirs...

I totally agree. and I havent' even finished my first grow yet. But just getting an AG can get people to start reading through this forum.

That's an interesting idea, Gypsy. I guess that's why a lot of the experienced growers were saying that the AG is just an overpriced reservoir+pump. Still, u gotta start somewhere, and I doubt I could have gotten even this far on my own.

Thanks, Korvette. Did you use LowRyder in your AG? Your plants look so short and manageable. The seeds I used are the only ones I ever bought, but I think they are just prone to grow tall. I don't know. Wacky, I'm not sure how to keep the plants from stretching. At first, I had the AG...

Ok, i'm beginning my fourth week of flowering, but still no signs of sex. Hope I'm looking in the right places. Having never grown anything before, I'm just going by the pictures posted in some of the other threads about determining sex. Two AG's going side by side, under one HPS and ringed with...

Thanks for all the great advice. I adjusted the HPS much further downward. I actually had the AG's up on my desk before but the leaves directly under the brightest spot of the HPS illumination were getting burned, so I decided to just put them on the floor while leaving the HPS suspended at...

The good news is that the stems have strengthened up a lot. My tallest plant is now over 18", and sturdier than ever. The strongest stems seem like the ones which were right in front of the fan, so that definitely seems to work.

No replies yet, so I guess I'll reply to myself. I got the second AG up and running and put both of them under my new 400 watt HPS. I also propped up the AG lamp hoods behind each plant to some extra side lighting. Got a fan oscillating on them 24/7, and an airstone in each. Feeding them the AG...

I wouldn't be surprised if no one else pulled this bonehead maneuver, but I accidentally burned the leaves on my plants. I started flowering three of my larger plants in an Aerogarden, and decided to get a better yield by switching the lights to a 400 watt HPS. I suspended the light about 6...

Gypsy, how about that idea about putting the roots into nylon panty hose? As long as the roots are still immersed in the nutrients and properly pH'ed water, wouldn't that work? I attached some updated pics. The first two pics are of my four smaller plants which I put back into veg mode in the...

Hey, Gypsy, if I remove the lamp hood on the AG, I guess I want them to grow to the sky, as long as the reservoir can hold their roots. I dont' know what's the tallest plant anyone has grown in the AG, but I'm guessing 2-2.5 feet?? By the way, I'm using Skunk and Early Queen which I bought...

I hear ya, Gypsy. But the problem is when you don't live in a country that has Home Depot or a local hydro store, etc. It's tough to find stuff to DIY (the local department store had airstones, but getting the light required a long drive to the industrial part of the city and look for the...

Wacky, I guess you always hurt the ones you love. I have a fan going in my room, and I open the window every now and then. I thought the main point was just to put an oscillating fan in the room to move the air around. Right now, I'm not sure I can even cut a little; they look so weak. My...

I just radically altered my set-up. As noted, I bought a 250 watt HPS along with another appliance timer. Also added another airstone. To accomodate these as well as creating more breathing space for my larger plants, I got a second AG (which they just started selling my country, but...

Korvette, I saw your pics in another AG thread. One word.....AWESOME. I dont' know how your plants stayed so short and bushy, but from now on, whatever you say is THE LAW. Did you stay with the AG nutes? I can't remember the details of what you wrote elsewhere. Also, did you just stay with the...

Purpdaddy, thanks for the advice. I attached some pictures to show you where I am so far. The first picture is how my plants look at 4 weeks and counting. The second picture is a close up of the healthiest looking leaves. The third picture is a look at the stem of the tallest plant, which...

Gypsy, since the bigger plants are so much bigger than the smaller ones, I thought I'd just move the bigger ones to a separate tupperware make-shift and try to buy some HPS lights for them so they can flower in peace (that is, if their stems can survive their own weights). Of course, I still...

Aerogrowerguy, I realize now that I should have had a fan on from the beginning. But in an earlier thread on the AG, I read how someone was able to grow from seed to bud with no tweaking other than feeding nutrients and adjusting lights. I got enamored with the idea of growing in my AG with no...
