Well i took the seed from the Lowrider Ganja bag. But i dont think it was. So no, i have no idea what it is. Other than a great first harvest. Since i havnt smoked in so long. I have no idea the quality. But it gets me pretty high. I normaly just hit a bowl in my bubbler. And that gives me a head rush for a few hours and then its about time for bed and i fall fast asleep. It's so nice.

The Aerogarden comes with a water pump to flow over the pods. But i did not use that. What we use is a airstone inside the water Res. And the airstone was on 24 hours a day.

Hope that helps ya.
I dont recall reading about this method.. I have an AG and have been using the pump.. Is it really unnecessary? and why?

Thanks)

Wow ! I just read this entire thread and I'm amazed at how successful you were on your first attempt ! That encourages me.
I just bought a AG Elite 6... and this will be my first attempt... just need to get some seeds. I don't plan on building a cabinet or anything as I have a finished basement and am just gonna put it on the counter. My initial plan was to not use an air stone, but after seeing your success I may just follow you. My concern is how large your plant got.... I remember reading a thread last year about this guy who used an AG and grew his plant like a small Bonzai tree by pruning and I think he had great results... anyone know of a similar guide?

Congrats on your nice harvest.
Thanks,
Mike

Speedbag, When using the areogarden pump over a long period of time can cause stem rot due to being wet at all times. So we substitute a airstone inside to bring oxygen to the root system.

Axlrose, as you may know you can grow you're MJ plant any size you want with topping ,scrog and LST methods. Mine grew close to 3 feet i do think in height.

Thanks for the comments guys,

Thanks Edward.

I went pretty much to the chart on the back of the nute bottles. Only for like the beginning stages did i use maybe less then recommended. I didnt wanna burn my baby in the early stages. But after that it was very close to the chart. I did not keep a record of how much i used on a calender. I should have,but did not. I never really went above 4 mL's. Remember to mix the nutes equally. And always add Micro Bloom Grow in that order. Hope that helped you some. Jade


Quick Edit. Just make sure to pay attention to the pH lvls. That i think is the aerogardens worse trait. Other than that you are golden.

thanks a ton! that does help, if you want you can check out my thread and offer up any advice that you see fit. That is so sick that you got that much out of one plant! does it smoke good? I bet it does. I change my ph levels up to 3 times a day. I learned a lot from your thread for example my res kept getting hot and i noticed that you did not use the pump after the roots reached the water and had an air stone like me so I turned of the pump and problem solved. no more hot water.
