hey guys and thanx for all ur help. im not finished with ur help yet lol and i just wanted to say thanx heaps coz id be screwed so far without it. ok so things have been goin well i removed the middle front plant coz the leaves ended up kinda burnt and i realized i probably have to many in there anyways. so the 4 left are doin very well. they havent got the brown on them like that one plant did. anyways. i was given a hydroponic marijuana handbooka while ago and i decided to read some of. so i got to a section that was about pre- flowering and another was called pruning. well ill post some pics of the stem area and the top leaves and it would be kool if some one could tell me if im ready to pre flower (presexing watever its called. NOT ACTUAL FLOWERING. i wanna do this so i can throw the males out and move my little female plants to their final spots while the roots arnt tangled. so can someone tell me what to do if they are ready to pre flower. i no to switch the lights to 12/12 but in an aerogarden i have no idea how to do that. with my aerogarden u have to personalize the lights by turning it off at the time u want it to and it sets itself? does it have a 12/12 setting? also im about to prune. in aus we call fimming (its not tipping). i will chop the very top new grow abot 3/4 and it will appear 4 heads are growing back? i hope so anyways. all ur help in really appreciated. steph bongsmilie (luv this smiley)

separate em now. while theyre still young
move the two back-middle ones into the corners, that way you dont have 4 plants all in the middle

hey guys i have come so far since my last post. so i have tipped all 4 plants. they responded really well and i moved the back 2 out to the egde holes. they are 2 days into preflowering (cant wait to scrap the males lol). i brought a timer and a figure 8 lead and i put them 12 hours on and 12 hours off. my god the natural blonde in me come out wen trying to set up the timer. yes the timer has been the hardest thing so far lol. after litrally a whole day of steaming over it i finally got it. ill post some pics 2moro wen the light is on. they all are growing very well but they are all different heights coz they werent the same size wen in pots outdoors. the bigger plant of the 4 is goin better than i hopes. they are all so bush with so many branches (but still short lol). iv heightend my grow room by taking out a shelf. thought it mite of gotten to difficult later on. so yeah thats the latest. cant wait to put pics up. oh and someone told me that they are indica so that may be why they arent as tall as the types us aussies see growin outdoors which he said is the other type sativa. anyways my lovelys my fingers are getting sore coz iv been on facebook too long 2nite lol. i have a few questins ill put in with the pics 2moro! nite :)

Well I'm certainly looking forward to the updated pictures. The problem with having plants at different levels of growth in the AG is that the larger plants will crowd out the smaller plants with their roots in the s
small res which just becomes a vicious cycle until you pull the smaller plants. That's certainly what happened to my runts anyway

yeah iv noticed that the bigger plant has over shadowed my other ones. i fixed that problem by pullin one huge shade leaf off my big plant. i no im not suppossed to butm it helped with the other plants getting full light. righto im gonna go ahead ind post my pics now. first i have a couple of questions. firstly i have ripped down all the foil because underneath is flat white walls which i was told will help with light reflection? it this true? and also how will i no to put them into real flowering. if i keep posting pics then can someone tell me wen to start flowering or isnt it that easy? also i have a ceiling fan. if i swithch that on during the day then will that help with ventilation? and now 4 the pics

Yes white walls are as good as foil if not better. You can make them start flowering whenever you want, however it is generally accepted that you should wait till your plants matures before making it flower. An easy way to tell when your plant is mature is by looking for staggered nodes, so rather than having 2 branches coming off at the same height, you just have 1. The problem with all of this is that the AG is too small, and if you allow your plants to mature before flowering them they will end up 1m tall. My advise is to put them into flower soon; I wouldnt wait more than 4 weeks.

and these pics were taken today. i took all the foil down. they still seem to be short but im sure its just the strain. the stem isnt stretched at all. there is only 3 to 5 cms to the stem from the dirt to the start of first branch. i call them lowryders (i no there not lol) its just wat i say coz there so short. iv seemstems get to 30 cms before growth start. haha i must be so lucky lol

omg now that i compare the photos i can really notice how much they have grown in a week. haha i also put a mirror behind the ag. it really seems to make it brighter. also the built in wardrobe that i have it in has huge mirrors as doors. so we flipped the doors around so the mirror is facing in.. now the ag has a mirror in front and back. lol i was hoping it would really help my plants to bloom.

Well they look healthy enough so good work. I'm not an expert on light by any means, most of what I know comes from reading what smarter people on here have said, but if you're happy with the mirrors then cool. There are two things I would suggest you do right now and thats 1) buy some side lights with 3000k colour temp (the 3000k 48w Nelson fluro globes Ive mentioned a few times), and 2) buy an air pump and some air stones. I'd set my light timers on 12/12 immediately and I'd focus both of the side lights on the smaller plant and try to get it to catch up with the larger, and I would turn off the AG pump and just run the air pump. This will increase the oxygen getting to your plants, which is the key to aero/hydroponic growing, and hopefuly prevent the big plant overshadowing the smaller. From then you'll just need to buy some flowering nutes, do some LST and bobs your uncle you'll be smoking your own shiz by Christmas time.

I would put them into flowering now, they look great, off to a perfect start :mrgreen:

They will just about double in size during flowering, so just calculate that into how much room you have to grow with, i would suggest sooner then later unless you plant on hanging that AG hood, cause they will out grow the extension


Take the mirror out, your actually losing light with that in there, the flat white plant is plenty

ther then that your good, there nice and healthy, for sure indica's. gonna be the high of a life time if your used to smoking sativas, a really strong punch, looks pretty good for some bag seed




EDIT: just looked at the pics again, thats a perfect cab you got there, alot of space in there, just get that mirror out

hey guys. so coz they are in preflowering now should i just keep them in 12/12. like i shouldnt put them bak into veg? yeah i just didnt wanna go any spend a shitload of money. i already paid a couple of hundred on the AG so i really wanted that to be it. is the side lights very nessecary and the air pump? i guess i should do anything to make it worthwhile. hhhmmmm so i will just rip out the males if they pop up (pretty sure i can tell coz i picked that my outdoor plants last year were female b4 anyone) and continue with flowering. my only query is if i put them into real flowering then those smaller plants wont be very bid even wen double in size. its very confusing lol
