hmm read the manual and let me know the light and pump times. As for germing no light until you see green.

You use growbig and big bloom throughout the whole grow. Go to the fox farm website they have a feeding schedule by weeks it helps alot.

Now I'm really confused. The Fox Farn site says, for seeds & seedlings, to use 1 tsp of Grow Big and 2 tsp of BIG BLOOM. Do I alternate adding these or do I use them BOTH at the same time!

Anxiously awaiting your reply.

i use just tiger bloom, i use it every other time i water

I just hung up with Fox Farms CS rep. He said to feed both of them at the same time. He said for my seeds/seedlings to use 1 tsp Grow Big & 2 tsp. SUPER BLOOM for the first 2 weeks.

I just used 1/2 tsp of the Grow Big cause I didnt want to burn them. Tonite I'll add 1 tsp SUPER BLOOM in my 1 gal Aerogarden.

Now that I have the feeding schedule, I'll use that. You can get it at their website: foxfarms.com

I wouldn't do that if I were you. I wouldn't use any nutes until 2 weeks after sprout. Then I would do 1/4 of what the feeding chart says then 2 weeks later half for 2 weeks and then full strength for until a few weeks into flowering. Which right now I'm using every week full strength.

Oops! To late! I added it last night. For the good news, it is only 1/2 the recommended dose. Looks like this will be a learning process.

Thanks for your help. I'll need lots more later.

naaah it wont hurt as long as no stress factors are available such as heat or even burn.

The water in my AG is very warm. It feels luke warn to the touch. I have seeds germinating so it's in the STRAWBERRY setting so the lights & pump are running 24/7.

Is this okay. If not, any suggestions how to cool it down?

thanks bunches,

 

["SICC"]

Im not sure on how to keep the water cool either, thats one im stuck on as well

 

[volcomi18]

my house never gets above 75 usually at 68 so with lights on it's only like 72 in there.

Hey volcom!
Looking awesome bro, that looks like it's going to be a great smoke. What method do you use for harvest and curing? Are you going to take a peek at the trichomes? Thanks man, Happy Halloweenie.

 

[volcomi18]

Yea I'm getting a scope today to take a peek. I'm going to hang dry them then throw them into a brown bag for a couple days and then into jars. I've done all that jazz before with outdoor grows. This is my first hydro/indoor grow.

 

[galwaystoner]

hey buddy just been checking your posts and pictures very impressive. I've just bought an AG and it came with the salad greens kit, my question is which is the best setting for growing weed. any help would be great cheers

 

[volcomi18]

if you don't have the 24hr light setting use tomatoes.
