AEROGARDEN GROW SHEET
BY "SICC"


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.​

ya thats pretty much right

are you going to grow in all 7 pods? people usually do 3 or 4 cause there isn't alot of room

my stem ended up cracking my aerogarden because it got to thick for it

 

["SICC"]

oh damn, im germinating 5 seeds, to get a good ratio, the most i will go is 4, buts even thats pushing it

 

[magikal chronik]

good looks sicc

but my AG doesnt have tomatoes as a setting it has vegetables,salad greens,herbs,flowers,and live plants. do you know which one to pick out of them ?

good lookin for that info too

 

["SICC"]

salad greens is good too

you should get a timer as well, im putting my set up together now

look at the this

 

[magikal chronik]

good looks my nigga.

tru my seeds are germing still right now but at least ill be close to your stages and do what your doing to grow me my first official pot plant lol

 

[magikal chronik]

im going to use the fox farm nutes tho. i heard they work miracles lol. but should i stay with your light times or use they light time on the hydroponic schedule??

 

["SICC"]

Yea im going to be using the Stock Nute tabs, they have potential, plus i got my Ag for free, so i ordered the master garden kit, which came with a year supply so i cant complain haha

 

[magikal chronik]

i might have to go with the stock nute idn. cuz i mean if i order the fox farms its gonna be a little hurt in my pocket wit hthe soluble trio pack and the nutrient trio.

do that tabs work 100 percent?
cuz i mean it sounds pretty simple. plus it seems such lessof a hassle adding and mixing and shit.

 

[magikal chronik]

also, if i were to order the kit. should i order the specific one for my AG.

Ex: I have the space saver 6 AG. Should i get the kit for that specific one? or just get the master gardner kit in general?

 

[ismokedyoblunt]

i dont know man wish i did, i have the AG pro 100 i just added the nutes that came with it, and put my germinated seeds in the pods...

 

["SICC"]

Yea i got the Pro 100, but the Master Gardener Kit is for all the AG's im sure, they didnt have any specifics on like what with went with what, but it comes with 21 grow sponges, 21 pod nets, and 21 labels you put on it, with a year of nutes, small and big tabs, This guy vette used the tabs, but he deleted his pics out of his photbucket which took them out off of his grow journal, was gonna put up a pics of his bud, i mean its eaiser to start out with, then upgrade to the Fox farm and what not, but when you get a timer you contral the lights, so the setting you use just powers the pump n shit

 

[magikal chronik]

where did you order the kit on? I'm going to order it now lol.

good looks mann.
im going to walmart later on to grab a few things. timer,figure 8 cord,ph tester,and a therm.

i have my seeds germing too already so i should set up this week sometime.

the only thing im a little confused about is lighting. i mean i know which lights to buy and shit. but i mean you said im going to need 8-12. thats a shit load of light. lol

 

[happy4life]

^^^do what korvette did. At walmart there's a 3 light bathroom fixture in the lighting section for $10. also in the lighting section you can buy Y splitters allowing the fixture to hold 6 CFLs. I also bought a grounding plug b/c the fixture has to be grounded. But i wont be using the fixture until flowering time. right now i have two 5 day old babies under the AG lamp only. I may decide to put a couple more daylight cfl's on them in like a week or so for vegging.

 

[magikal chronik]

good looks happy. ima stop by their today and pick that up as well. i think you just saved me some dough. i was gona buy a bunch of cfl's lol.

 

[happy4life]

you'll still be purchasing the cfls though....i found packs with 6 26W soft white cfls (100W replacement) at lowes for under $15. I will put those 6 in the fixture at flower and create a second overhead lamp. This will be in conjunction with the 2 lights that are already in the AG hood. Then I have three 120W (replacement) soft white cfls in clamps that i will have as well. you can never have too much light from what i hear
