ive done the ph to a low level and also tried the drain system aswell ..timing it 2 hours on and 30 mins off then 2 hours off , 24 hour 70watts metal halide 11 inches top of the leaves...extractor fan 24hrs a day aswell and the mister goes on for 15 mins every 3 or 4 hours..they seem to be getting better

ive also done the co2 bottle thing with the yeast and i dont know the plant grew a bit but no big difference in the leaves it just got the stem looking a bit tougher... it smells like shit but i think you might want to try it out ..

For make control you PH have soon liquid you can buy and make the Ph go Down our Up...
Never put water in the top just down in the plat, yours plant is gonna suck the water fron down, if you put to much the plant need you gonna have left water in the plate just take out, Is take around 2 minuts for the plant suck out ....!!!
your temperature can be litte more...75F to 85F, for the can grown more fast!!!
And try to give not water all days like in 2 to 2 days ou 3 to 3...days, the plant need soon time without water...!!!

hey man ive tried using distilled water and flush the plant totally and moved it from the aerogarden to a normal hydro pot ... the plants that started nuteburn have stopped but lost the colour..while the new set of leaves are greeeeeen not pale green like the others were and it has a god/damn/smell...

is that a good sign??????

they should have some smell by the 3 or 4 th week. cut off all the fucked up leaves too i did that with mine and flushed them and they look great. i alos switched to my hps bulb im not sure if maybe they werent ready for the light before or maybe it was too close to start with or maybe it was nute burn or lack or o2 it was one or a combo i know that...
