I love this aerogarden, it's great for clones, and seedlings but you can also use it for flowering with supplemental lighting. I have a water farm system that I transplant my clones from my aero garden into it.

Yeah its pretty sweet going to clone a mom from there into an aerocloner then move those babies to a 6pot eco system.

Upgrades:
400w MH w ballast installed
Pushing 1cfh for 30min every 3 hours after an exhaust cycle



Changing Res out tomorrow and going from half to full nutes.

hell yeah this plant came back real strong. about a foot tall already and almost positive its a fem. going to flush it for the week then switch to flower because the res is getting full of roots and im thinking another foot of growth in flower will be enough room in that 1 gallon res. Maybe take some clones this week as well. Have a 600w LED arriving this week and right now all 9 plants are in a growlab trying to debate whether i want to make the tent my flower or veg room.

Let us know how you like the LED. I have been thinking about switching my veg lights from the big CFL's to LED. Really I'm just tired of moving lights up and down. I want something that will cover the tent keep low stretch and be super cheap to run... Is that so much to ask for, hahah. Oh and I want to mount it at the top so I never have to adjust it.

Switched my girl to flower w the 600w led so far I'm feeling that this was a good buy.. I have 0 heat issues. This equipment stays as cool as the room does. Its pretty awesome. Pics to follow

Cleared! Can't wait man. With Summer coming I am trying as hard as possible to not plug in an a/c. But I will probably have to use it during the day. I just moved and my summer temps will be 80 - 90. I have my day at night and vice versa so that helps but 90 degrees plus a 600 watt light makes for a very bad environment...

Unless you are a spider mite. Then it's perfect. Since I don't like those little assholes I will probably break down and flip on the A/c. Wish I had it on 220 but it's one of those stupid window units. uses 120. Which costs me an extra 100 bucks a month.

One was a male. Cut it as soon as I saw. You can tell the diff. Heres a pic of my girl day 2 of flowering....shes been getting some rusty looking spots on the leaves so I'm wondering if the extra potassium will help and see tomorrow...Top her off everynight with phd tap water. She looks a tiny bit droppy but im not sure if thats normal or not.

Heres some pics from now20140224_172252.jpg20140224_172312.jpg20140224_192844.jpg20140224_193011.jpg

It's def a Cal deficiency...this week I've only added 1/2 whats recommended of bloom and micro and some koolbloom.

Added some cal mag this morning and topped her off. Shes got them white pistols poppin but if i dont see any progress by tonight it could be too much K...didnt nearly put half as much N as I did during veg. This is my transition week so..either too much K or to little Ca....should be able to tell tonight. On the new growth...a few leaves claw up and the ones that are effected claw down...hmmmm

For me:

Although I use Flora Series (Grow, Micro, Bloom, [Kool Bloom, Floralicous Plus, Flora Nectar <-- Flower Only] [Superthrive and Zone <-- Veg only]

Generally I follow their guide for Recirculating Aero.

I use Gro all the way up to Week 3-4 (Depending on strain and flower time). After that I cut Grow completely.

But in reference to the clawing... I have no idea what that means. I left for a weekend once and didn't top off my rez, got home and the rez was empty. Some of the leaves started clawing down and have not recovered since. Everything else is good to go though. Hopefully someone else knows better than me <--- which isn't asking for much, hahaha.
