I don't know why they're growing so slowly. oh yeah it's the fact that the 3 light bulbs on my AG have a total of 78watts combined. Pics are day 12...

Dont fret over it .. They do start off slow .. And its at this stage that they will grow or die .. after the 5th node top them, they will grow 2 more sprouts It takes time with the aerogarden . The waiting is the hardest part .. and if you sit there and stare at them (I used too) Its seems like they never grow .. fill the res and leave them alone for 3 or 4 days .. you'll be amazed at the growth ... Keep growing

Guys please help.

I got this aeugro thing. I just cant figure out what the hell to use to hold the plant in place. In one pic I saw that Rockwell stuff being used, but then in the next pic I saw those red rocks.

Someone please help me with this. I dont want to use the spongs that come with it. They have seeds in them already.

I got some seeds germinating and I got the system.

What can i use to put the germinated seed in ?

Thanks for the info.

use the sponges that come with it. They work fine! All you have to do is scrape the little seeds that came in them out and put your new seeds in ^_^.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try that out, but im also going to hit the garden store and try to find those rockwell cubes if that works better.

When things get going ill start a journal for you guys.

Also, got some plants in soil just to mess around. They are growing pretty good just sitting on the porch.

I know I'm impatient. I must be expecting them to grow as fast as the plants I have under my 400hps. It's taking alot for me to not add side light but I really want to see what it's capable of by itself.

I don't know if you got the info you were looking for but I'm not using the nutes that came with the AG. I'm using Flora Nova which I have at half strength right now, will go to full strength in another 2 weeks or so.

I'm using rockwool cubes that were cut down to fit in the AG. I've started other plants in the sponges that it comes with and they worked just fine so you will be ok.

Thae are looking good .. Ive noticed that when using an aerogarden that the plants grow real slow when 1st started , But they thrive after 3 weeks of 16/8 light cycle .

They still have 24hr light. I was gonna switch them to 20/4 in about a week.
