I'd say fuck that aero garden shit. Get a pot, a sink with some water, some dirt, some perlite, some decent light and your good to go for a month while you figure shit out. You will have better success I promise.

so u think i should transplant the plants i have into soil?

i do like the aerogarden tho to be honest i think the plants grow faster at the beginning of veg period

if you have weeks stems its probably because you need to put a fan to blow on your plants to harden their stems, you can even give them a good shake once a day to get the stonger

True. Stick to the basics, especially if your new to the scene.

Looks like your plants could use some air movement on them. Get a fan on blowing the crap out of em 24/7 and the stems should thicken.

In your second picture, that tie, or string, or w/e is holding that stem needs to be loosened. A tight wrap around the stem will diminish any growth, while a loose one still does its job, but allows the stem to have breathing/growing room.

Check my grow out, I feel your pain when you say "Weak stems".

Dirt is forgiving. Something us newbies need. But will we get too attached to it. I'm spending a lot of time controlling bugs.

Runagi · May 7, 2008

Check my journal out, you'll see how having a fan on affects growth, my stems are at least as thick as a pencil, they were "born" on 4/1/08

iaminacar · May 7, 2008

should i have my fan blowing as hard as it can.....i mean i dont wanna stress them out too much since they are already weak but at the same time i want them to get stronger and hopefully survive

.....but i must say my plant thats flowering is smelling/looking really pretty =) cant wait to blaze that ish

F aero gardens i see that shit on those hour long comercials it looks like a toy.

ORECAL · May 7, 2008

just put a fan on them, that will strengthen that stems tremendously.

iaminacar · May 7, 2008

can.i.buz · May 7, 2008

iaminacar · May 7, 2008

can.i.buz · May 7, 2008

I'm looking for an organic one right now if that's important to you. otherwise you could go to Home Depot and get root tone

minimojoman · May 7, 2008

can.i.buz · May 7, 2008
