I am a first time grower and am currently in the process of getting an aerogarden deluxe (should be here in a couple of days.) I purchased a 10-pack of feminized northern lights seeds which should also be arriving any day now. Like I said this is my first time to grow, with the exception of the seeds I tossed into the backyard for fun. Are there any things that you would recommend for a beginner grower? Light settings, nutrient types, etc... Is there an optimum setting on the Aerogarden deluxe for weed growing? Also, should I start with just one or two seeds? Thanks and any information would be greatly appreciated.

I've been considering the aerogarden deluxe for some time now and I will certainly keep an eye on this thread. Good luck with your grow and please keep us posted with your progress. I'm clueless to indoor growing and now that I've moved to a townhome I want to continue growing any way I can!

Thanks, I'll keep this thread updated with my progress. Should begin in a week or two when everything arrives. In the meantime I would like to collect any other necessities for this. If anyone can think of any please let me know.

light hours:

1. 27/0 for seedlings
2. 18/6 for vegging
3. 1212 for flowering

Grow Time:

3-4 weeks vegging
9-12 weeks flowering

Lighting:

Stock AG lights for vegging. Add additional CLF's, total of 8-12 should be added throughout the veg-flowering stages. Connect a figure 8 cord (found at radio shack, or PS2 cable) to a timer to control light schedual. you can also change the settings to tomatoes. Daylight, blue spectrum for veggings, and softwhite, red spectrum for flowering. Mix of two should be placed throughout grow. or you can invest in an HSP/MH to set up, cheaper and better, but either is good

Nutrients:

Stock AG nuet tablets, 2 small tabs every two weeks, 1 big tab every two weeks. Or you can do 1 small tab every week for 8 weeks, last 2 weeks stop using tabs flushing before harvest. Dont using nutes until the plant is about 2 weeks old from the time the seeds were transplanted into the AG. Or you can use the Fox Farm line up, they have there own feeding schedule.

Preparation:

Fill to brim of AG, past the "fill to here" marker, once in flowering, the plants will triple in size and drink alot of water. Place and Airstone into AG, cover any unused grow spots, blocking any light from reaching the roots. Have a fan to keep rez water at a cool temp, and to strengthen the stem. A thermometer for proper temperature, and a PH tester. paper towel germination. Your plants will show sex after you put them into flowering, will show within the first month or about 14 days.
