Sending Aerogarden 200 Back! Try and talk me out of it.!

What Up Peeps. I've had AG 200 for 3 weeks now and have to make my decision because of the 36 day money back guarantee it comes with.

I am more interested in putting my money elsewhere and designing my own master grow operation. Or simple set-up from the local grow store, damn, is that place just awesome. And I heard on the news that there is a local garden exposition show going on right now in the city. I'm gonna grab a bud and a pal and head to it this week to see if they might be showcasing some new technology's (led's,HPS, hell anything im new), and you never know who you might meet?

Talking about wanting to actually yield something when it's time to share with the homie's. And to take care of a cool girl I know w/ an F'd up disease in her stomach, she thinks it goes away after she smokes, instead of those weird brown pills or chemicals! and then can eat better after smoking. (cool shit man).

So I'll post some pics of what I got goin...
I burnt the shizz out of the first baby in the back left. The others are WW and look better, with neat, wider leaves w/ nice growth generating and good roots.

2 air stones on 10 gal. air pumps. 14"long.
good liquid nute solution from local shop.
2 26w=100w cfls in clamp lamps.
Sent back weird walmart desk lamp $20.00
14" desk fan for air circulation. On Low.
6"hole in wall for passive exhaust.
Door cracked mostly for air import.
Temps range 70-85
humidity 55-65%
kinda muggy w/ door shut. Noticed Heat problem.

I am a Newb grower. But greenthumbs run through a my hippy family. I've taken the challenge and will be probly upgrading to a 400 w HPS/MH combo lamp. I guess it's an oldie but a goodie with low hours. He Wants $250.00.? Im really a bit more interested in 600w cooltube system(for the low heat(but high ventilation charges, right?), but will head to my main man at hydro shop who sold me my nutes and meters. PH/PPM. $156.00 total. and ask him what I should or shouldnt be messin with.

Peace Out. Hope this thread gets CrazY....

Westside Is the Best Side!

more pics or even better....updated.......

If i could afford a UFO i would get one in a heart beat, they dont give off tons of heat, dont give off a ton of light, are small and are efficent.

that ufo blows compared to that 400 or 600..it might help but not just by itself

go with the 600.

Whoa....love the puss.....I'm a cheap ass though (like Most). unemployed at moment, and got just the right about of money to make the initial investment. Plus can't afford to buy from local peddler anymore, quality sucks and price is still to high. So, that lead me to a giant bong Rip and a Late night Impulse buy(aerogarden), because I read a couple of your guys good reviews.

I want to redirect this forum and ask For Layouts or plans or simply great Ideas that work on creating homeMade PVC, Rubbermaid, DWC/Hydro/aeroponic systems.

and yes I want to cry... What was your additional lighting setup?

I like how the LED's Illuminator UFO company stands by there product.

Trying to hit a whole new world in lighting technology Trough the orange light spectrum. I almost fell for there sale that went on during the valentine weekend. The whole sorry, we are out of stock and will drop $50.00 if you order now, taking the price to a high flippin $350.00

I'm thinkin that the ventilation cost would be a bit expensive to cool a sun system 400w HPS/MH dual ballast system.

Simple reflector. No ports for can fan hook up. I think those are equipped on the newer versions.

UFO lights aren't worth it right now for the price.

If you buy all of the mats and shit you are going to have to fuck with building it, not sure how your handywork is but if you suck your grow will too.

I HERE YOU BRO... I'm really tempted to nab this 400w setup... i found on craigs-list for $250. but i think it's sketchy buying old equipment(8 yrs old)? Even if the owner states that it sat in the storage unit and has really low hours?

I want the HPS cool tube too...?

I flippin can't decide?

I happened to see this new one on Ebay today.

Tri-band? 2nd Generation? Wow. WTF??

and im researching this model LED big time. I don't promote. I don't have one yet?

* Saves 80% power consumption compared to traditional lighting
* Ideal for indoor growing

The LEDs used in this lamp are the highest quality, made by BridgeLux.

led technology is going to be the way to grow, but not yet. the technology hasnt progressed enough yet. theres promise, but it will be a few years before they can be put to practical use.

if my options were a questionable 400 for $250(which is not that cheap) or a new cooled 600 for $300, it would be the 600 no question.


oh yeah, my vote is you should ditch that little toy of an aerogarden.

LED's are gay. get the HPS. look around, we all use them.

I don't like buying second hand shit unless I have seen it in person.
600w Cool tube sounds like the best option all around.

Heat devil? or ventilation problem? or nutrient burn?

WtF did I do?

I flushed today. Siphoned out high nute water in res. and replaced with non ph adjusted distilled water (will adjust asap). I was surprised the ppm meter showed 50 ppm for distilled water(ph is at 7.0) again for distilled.

I will gradually add liquid nutes probably tomarrow. I'm still in the 2-3 week vegging stage.

What do you guys think?

okay, call me dumb. but whats QFT mean?
