I put the seed in the pod and started the lights on 12/12 from the time the pod went into the Aerogarden with the light as close as it would get (wasnt close enough so there was a liltle stretching at beginning.) Fed no nutes only ph'd purified drinkin water for 1st 4-5 days. Then fed XNUTRIENTS GROW/MICRO for about 3-4 weeks, next GROW/BLOOM/MICRO for 1 week then just BLOOM/MICRO (it looked a little deficient in something so I added some more grow with this batch of nute mixture.) I started to LST around 10-ish inchs (the units light only raises about 1 ft so Im tryin to keep small). Id say she was about 10 inchs (after 1st tie down) when she started to show preflowers.
The AG3 comes with 1 CFL with a blue-ish color light putting out 1450 lumens, But, I have 2 units so Im using hood from 2nd unit on the side. I also added a 23w=100w Bright White CFL on other side, however, I swapped out the 23w=100w for a 42w=150w Soft White a couple days ago.
