Welcome all!

This is my first attempt at growing in an Aerogarden so all your help will be appreciated

I just placed two germinated female EasyRyders in the grow pods this morning.

Here are a couple pics of my grow area, let me know what you think.

Thanks for the post SICC. I have read a lot of your posts here in the AG forum and have found them to be most helpful.

A short update on my grow: Water heater busted and flooded my grow space, so I have had to set up a temporary while I dry out.

I also had to replant both my seedlings because the roots could not find the hole I had made in the sponge. I took them out, cut the bottom of the sponge in half, and planted the roots as deep as I could. Hopefully no harm came to my girls during the process!

I will be posting more pics soon...

Keep the bie domes on until there about to reach them, i would try and get a fan in there, 91 is pretty hot, not directly on them but at least pointing there way

Quick pic update

Not much new to report. Started out with 1/4 AG starter nutes tab on day 10.

They seem to be happier with the little domes on them, so I will keep them on until they out-grow them.

Let me know what you think!

Yes they had problems both shedding the seed and developing roots in the AG sponge. I had to replant both of them at about day 5. I'm trying to get all the mistakes out of the way on this first grow lol.
