yo whats up i just got an AG 200 like two months ago i started two seeds one bag and the other ice. i would first not use the pump after two weeks, just two plants clogged mine up lol. Also want to get some air stones and DO NOT USE THE NUTRIENTS or atleast until there like two weeks old and only use a many piece of the nutes. good luck

ya go find some fox farm nutrients or something like. If you really want to get the most out of your AG your going to have to have good lights. HID MH and HPS. or you can just add some cfls with the stock light if you arnt planning on going crazy with the lights. But for sure the most important part is the nutes. But dont give them any until there 2nd resevior change, about 2 weeks, this will allow them to get big enought to prevent any nute burn. Give them plain bottled water or filtered water with a ph at around 6.0-6.2. this seems to be working great for me

air stones like in a fish tank? what will the help with?
thanks for the reply
It oxygenates the roots.

You can pick up an aquarium pump and hose for ~$15 at walmart.



First off, you need to cover those open holes, you do not want light or other crap getting into your RES.

Light + heat = bacteria = root rot

Run the pump as much as you can.

Stock nutrients will be 100% fine, but if you feel that you really need to spend money on more nutes, lost of people seem to be using foxfarm.

Go to wal mart in the fish isle they have the pump and airstones.. Ooo yea dont forget the hose to run from the pump to the airstone. And for the like juss take off the hood light and move it closer, the cheapest way to add more like is cfls. You gonna want the nice 45 or 26 wat daylight spectrum for sarting off. You can find the lights and fixtures also at walmart. And the airstone are giving the roots oxygen boost plus helps agianst root rot. Butcha homie good luck ill stop by again.
