Aerogarden Amateur Bagseed Grow

It looks like I'm gonna have to go with the carbon scrubber, thanks guys! This ONA gel looks pretty promising through, has anyone had any experience with it?

Day 22 - Wednesday, 12/10/2008

Day/Night Schedule: 18/6
pH: 6.0

1) Added second airstone to reservoir to cover right side of Aerogarden.
2) Purchased more durable, thicker reflective mylar paper for the walls. Current material is getting crinkled by the HEPA fan blast.
3) Plants are becoming very fragrant, especially when the closet door is closed for a few hours and then opened. Considering purchase of ONA Gel or carbon scrubber at the hydroponics store this afternoon.
4) Plants continue to grow at an accelerated rate with the 18/6 photoperiod.
5) Leaves are developing a healthy, dark green sheen and have become thicker.

Questions:

1) What is the best way to use ONA Gel? In an improvised scrubber setup with a bucket and fan, or simply by opening up the canister in the room?
2) The tubing for the second airstone is propping open the reservoir chamber door slightly. Would I be better served just removing the airstone?

Well Normally when you have the air stones your supposed to use one of the grow holes, but yours is filled up, I would keep it in there untill you weed out some males

Day 23 - Thursday, 12/11/2008

Day/Night Schedule: 18/6
pH: 6.0

1) Plants continue their robust growth. The leafspans of the four plants on the left have grown significantly; the fan leaves now touch each other and form a fairly level canopy.
2) One of the two smaller plants on the right exhibited drooping (but not discolored) leaves last night. This was concerning given the night schedule was about to begin. In the morning, however, the leaves were perky and raised.
3) The stems have begun "shedding", like a snake peeling off old skin. Underneath the sloughed areas the stem is bright green.
4) Moved some clothes out of the closet so I don't get too popular at work.

Will update with pictures later in the week! How do you put the pictures into thumbnail form?

Haha, that would be unbelievable if it was just the Aerogarden light!!

I've actually got 5 CFLs on it, I just moved them aside to take a picture I've got a 400W HPS for the flowering stage, but no ballast or hood just yet. What setup are you using in your garden?

Yeah man, they're even bigger this morning!! These plants are growin freaky fast!! I wonder if this had anything to do with all that gamma radiation I blasted them with as seedlings It's hard to believe that in just about 2 weeks, your guys are gonna be this big too!!

That's strange; how much did they sprout in the Aerogarden? If they're already seedlings with leaves, I'd say get an airstone, that really seems to catalyze growth.

If they're still basically seeds with taproots showing, it might be worthwhile to keep the lights off on the Aerogarden, as seeds tend to germinate more easily under low light conditions.
