1 week old.
No nutes.
Filled reservoir with bottled drinking water.

Big Buddha Blue Cheese Automatic 24 days old
First feeding at 15 days
Aerogarden nutes solution 3 ml and 1/16 of golden tree per week
Switched to a 14/10 light cycle.
And able to use hps now along with stock Led.
The growth is exploding an I have noticed that auto flowers veg differently from photos. Photos do not grow side branches till pre flower is induced.
Autos grow side branches and pre flower at week 2 during veg!
Slight nute burn on 1 -3 leaves nothing major just cut back a little bit on the nutes.

Big Buddha Blue Cheese Automatic Day 31 from seed.
Light cycle is 14/10 led and hps
Aero garden nutes solution 3ml, and golden tree 1/16
The first visible white hairs! The side branches /preflowers are as big and thick as the main stem. It is like I have 8 plants going.
When I actually have 1. Thats why I only chose to grow 1 plant in this small but incredibly effective nourishing reservoir.

Day 32
quik update : just fed her aerogarden nutes 3 ml
Holding off on the golden tree till next week

Hopefully shes hungry!

Day 37

Big Buddha Blue Cheese Automatic

14/10 light cycle Led and 150watt vert hps

Fed 6 ml aerogarden nute solution and 1/16 golden tree since she has doubled in size. She looked really hungry so I fed her 2 days ahead of schedule.
And shes loving it. Im suprised how well the auto is doing in the aerogarden. Nice and bushy and under the 2 ft. Max allowance the stock led allows.

Day 44

Light schedule 14/10 Aero stock Led and a vert 150 watt hps

Today I fed her 8 ml of aero nute solution I gradually trippled the dosage from seed to this point because she is now in full bloom and requires more nutes.

All I can say is she always looks really hungry during the week in between feedings. So the plant is practically begging for more nutes.

Day 53

Light cycle 15 /9

Light 30 watt led overtop
And vert 150 watt hps.

Nutes 4 ml aero solution for veg,flower,and bud.


Sorry for the wait. Fed her 4 ml this week which kind of balances her out. Did not want to make the resovior too harsh for the plant. So I stayed on track for the reccomended 12 ml for a bi weekly feeding. For a large plant.

Shes looking great, noticed a little skunky smell but not too strong. The overtop led allows my vert hps to focus on the under canopy.

Day 58

Light cycle 15/9

30 watt Led overtop and 150 watt vert hps

Nutes 6 ml aero solution for veg, flower, and fruit.
1/16 golden tree


Shes going good. Moved the overtop led a few inches closer to the canopy. Started defoliating a bit since last week , to give budsites enough light through the canopy.
I wish I had a 3 part nute regime and big bud and sweet leaf .
But I have to make due with what I have. I have enough light going for me that just maybe ill be okay without.

Having temp issues as well because of the small space.
But nothing detremental to my girl. Shes taking forever to finish up.
Also had yellowing of bottom layered leaves. So I cut them off and will be watching that closely to determine if I need to bump up the aero nutes solution.

Im thinking of running her 80 - 85 days but will adjust accordingly. Thanks.

Day 59

Quick update I went ahead and switched up the lighting a bit.

Overtop we have the 150 watt hps anchored to a rigged up wooden frame.

And now the 30 watt led is vert.

I am constantly making adjustments to increase yield and get max efficiency and coverage out of every watt.

Day 66 from seed

Light cycle is 15/9

150 watt hps overtop and a vert 30 watt led

Nutes 6ml aero nute soulution 1/16 golden tree.

So she is in early bud and I can pretty much tell shes a small yielder by nature no suprise. The flowers do not compact with other flowers as much with Big Budha BC. I may take her 90 days im getting so anxious doing whatever I can to increase yield and ensure that classic Blueberryxcheese flavor anyone thats toked it , knows its amazing. Im waiting for the buds to swell up a bit so she may go 95 -100 days

Also starting to wonder if the lack of a three parts nutrient regiment affected yield?

Milo from big buddha seeds uses advance nutrients and big bud.

And if I should have started with the 150 watt hps on top and the led as a vert supp?

Popped a HSO Blue Dream fem in soil for eventual clones to put in the aerogarden.

All of these questions will be answered on my next update keep...it locked to Ogaerogardner1990 follow my page peace out.

Day 75 from seed

Light cycle 15/9

30 watt vert led and 150 hps overtop

No nutes this week


Sorry for the wait been busy with this fall semester.

Started a little mini flush
Not the final flush just getting the reservoir right And then I will give her, her last feeding this upcoming mon. Still have not decided the dose, but started preparing for a final flush before harvest . harvest time is around the corner it will be here before you know it. I may go just a regular 6 ml of aeronute for growth,flower, and fruit. No more goldentree as it recommends to stop feeding 2weeks prior to harvest. Did not really notice any kind of boost from golden tree or any positive results its still too early to tell but after I use up what golden tree I have I will discontinue usage. Really no change.


Well she has about 2 weeks left! that will put her at day 89 right about where I wanna be but I will adjust accordingly.
Never planned on taking her past 90 days but we'll see.
Shes still looking underdeveloped or slow going , but patience is a virtue especially with cannabis. She has a purple pheno cola .
Either because of the led hps combo, and or the temperature at night and nutes I feed her. Thanks keep it locked and follow me on riu thanks

Sorry for the wait shes still growing and bulking up! Gonna start the final flush no more nutes.Sorry for the late update I have been so busy this semester, I am swamped.
Shes bulking up nicely, patience is the key. Waiting for all those little flowers to bulk up and compact as well as the main cola. Theres alot of space in between those flowers, I want it to cola up already. I am shooting for 95 days. But will adjust accordingly. Triches are still clear. Here is a pic!

Wow this looks amazing

Great. Let us know

Pretty freakin cool! I have the same aerogarden and the 150 watt hps, think I might try something like this. Question, why not put the lights side by side?
