I do have that root growing, but can't figure out how to turn that pump off, is there another attachment that I will need to purchase for my Aerogarden. Many thanks for your reply.

Hit up radioshack and get a figure 8 cord. This can plug directly into your AG hood so you can unplug the AG itself.

whats the best way to start off clones in the AG pods they give you. or have you constructed something else? im going to start my grow in the next couple of days.

If you are using the AG to clone the best thing I found lately is the general hydroponics rapid rooter things. They fit perfect into my 6 space AG and right now I am using them for my new starts. As they mature you would have to figure out a way to keep them supported. Maybe something like a long toothpick or something of that nature. After my AG grow last time before I moved them into the grow tent(2.5) weeks ago, it was very touchy trying to cut the AG pods plastic with all the roots coming out, some larger than the slots on the pods. My largest plants roots became so large they took up about 1/2 of the AG and mixed in with the other 2 plants, so removing the roots from being tangled in the other plants was touchy 2. I have a few plants in the AG now in various stages, but will not let them go for 4 weeks like I did before. Out of 3, 1 was a female, and at 1 month and a few days in veg, and 2.5 weeks in flower, it is now 15 inches tall(last week a top broke off that was 3 inches, so would have been 18 inches tall. But now the stalk of the plant is larger than the AG grow pod, so glad I moved them to a tent.

That looks good! What strain is that?

Blue Goof, is what I was told, but not sure. Was bag seed, so far has been easy to grow and it put up with alot from me learning. Everyday it is looking better and better.

Cool man, I'm glad it's working out!

thanks, first time ever trying, think it is looking great. Is one plant, so you can see in the second picture the reason I had to take it out of the AG. Good thing about the AG grow was only using the 1 gallon of water to grow and I was able to get the light right on top of the plants and added a few cfls on the side, so it kept it bushy and looks like it will end up with a good yield. I did mess up alot, but all worked out now.

Just checking in and saying hello to all my good friends here that helped me out! Life got in the way for a bit, but I should be back around now.
Had an issue with my girls once I got them into flowering, the one started to die, then the other followed, but had them in flowering for about 8 weeks before I had to literally cut my losses. In all, I ended with about an once, but now I have a little better idea of what's going on. That Being said....
The tall flower was strecting to thefront light, fixed that problem and they all seem to be doing better now. Here is grow 2 week 1:

My plants in my AG are about 2 1/2 weeks into vegging, quick question did everyone who bought the airstone buy the long thin ones opposed to the circular airstones i bought the 4" circular one and it's a little big for the AG i got (Deluxe) but will do until i can get back and buy a smaller one to fit...

It is definitely much easier to get the longer ones as opposed to the circular ones. I suggest getting a couple 5" or 6" stones. That's what I use.

i have a standard aerogarden and have three plants about 15-20cm tall and the two smaller ones have some sort of rot around the stem and one of them has snapped off any suggestions why??

what does stretching mean

Can someone check out my grow in my sig and let me know wtf I am doing wrong. i had 2 seedlings commit suicide on me with in the last 12 hrs

How many lights do you need to grow using the aerogarden??????????

Try changing the water and using Hygrozyme. It did wonders for my grow.

I'm a first time grower experimenting with the AeroGarden 7.
Does anyone have advice on the best seed strains to use with AeroGarden Pro?
Thanks in advance for your help.

the AG can handle anything, follow these introductions to the exact mark and your'll be fine, will some side research as well, you gott a kno how to grow the plant before you actually grow it if that makes sens

Please tellme what is the best pump cycle for AEROGARDEN PRO 200 , i set timers,one for lighting one for pump. But my plants are overwatered , and stressed !!please help! tell me the best pump cycle. Example : germittion 3 times a day by 10 minutes pump cycling
vegitation 15 min in hour 10 times a day

hey guys this is my 1st grow also with the aerogarden and have a couple questions as well.. not to sound stupid or crazy but i'm running mine on the herb setting which i believe is 18/6.. at what point should i change it to maybe the tomatoes one say 12/12 for it to start flowering? i have added a picture of how it looks so far after one month four days. I have two growing in it and also whats a good method of raising the light higher cause i'm already at the highest i can go..
