Hi everyone,

I just bought an aerogarden and start growing up my seed.
I did not know what should i do, so i just put the seed in seed bag and start AG.
I did not adjust PH
I did not use air-pumping
I use 2 of large nutritents those came with AG

Than, the first leaf starts to get sick.

now i've been reading this website and and i want to make sure that: if i NOW start to do right thing on my plant, will it become better?

PS: i will upload a pic soon.

Thank you!!

By the way i am using autoflowering seed.

Now i changed the water.
Use GH Flora series. (It says i should use X ml for 3rd week but i use half of it (X/2). is that right thing to do after a nute burn?)
I bought airpump and airstone.

I used GH Flora Series and started with half strength nutes during all cycles and changed reservoirs once a week. If the plants look healthy with no sign of nute burn, the next week I up the strength to 75-100% suggested strength. I found the suggestion online and it worked great for me on my first grow.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Rollitup mobile app

yeah im sure you already flushed it and whatnot. 1/2 is ok too but i normally try 1/4 of whats recommended and work your way up. id go slow because more isnt always better you know. hope it works out!

the plant is growing good, its trunk is getting stronger. 23rd day of it.
But i still see burns on leaves (also new leaves)

I use ph downer but i check it every 3 days it always shows ph level as 7 (that comes with gh flora series nutritents)

what should i do from now on?
1-should i go with flora nutritent schedule?
2-shuold i do something another (something like, i read about pruning root or somthig like that)

here is the new picures.

Make sure you ph it 5.5-6.3...ideally 5.8
Keep water temps no more than 75
If it looks like its still a little burnt don't add in nutes. Like I said 1/4 strength of whays recommended if it looks good goto 1/2 the next week and so on.
What lights are you using. I know for MH I had to keep it no higher than 21" from the top of the leaves
I also top off my res everyday with cold tap water.

Also if that's tin foil get rid of it and use mylar if needed due to the fact foil absorbs your light

plants now 90 cm,today in 70 days this seed is autoflowering rather slow flowering so I must be making a mistake here. Do you have any prediction about this error

being a 1st timer noob with aero, I think your doing just fine. The blade structure on your fan leaves tells me it's sativa dominant and will take a tad longer. Also don't believe the breeders flowering time's, They don't apply to most growers and the plants will show you when they are done. hows about a recent pic
