I have been reading your post as my little aero bubbles away with 1 mama and 3 clones. I am not sure what day# it is, I moved in the middle of my grow and the pump died so it set me back a couple weeks. Anyway, after reading your posts I decided to clone and force flowering and things are looking niiiiiice. I went to the store and grabbed some CFL lights to supplement, thermal blankie for the walls of the entertainment center I'm growing in and my girls (just started seeing pistils coincidentally the day I started reading your posts) just LOVED the extra light and heat. Thank you so much for all the hints and tips, troubleshooting and stuff!! I have no camera at the moment but one is on order, I'll post pix when I have them!

I don't know if you guys have ran into this but the Foxfarm nutes start to clog the pump and the channel the the water runs through to each pod. I have been taking the pump apart and cleaning it every other nute change. And i am also starting to remove all of the small phillips screws out and taking it apart and cleaning the channels and then putting back together to make sure the nutes are getting to the pods. I am glad that i have a air stone in my rez for a back up. I am going to order a better pump flilter to help prevent all of this extra work.

Don't adjust the pH if you are using AG nutes. They have a buffer and your pH won't change...all that acid will go straight to the plant and fry it. However, if you have regular hydro nutes, just pH it like you normally would with pH down until it gets around 5.5.

ide say over nuting is whats happening... just give them water no nutes until they have at least 4 sets of nodes.. and an air pump does help but i dont think that the problem

Not for pot. The lights are ineffective and the entire thing is too small in every aspect. They always end up being taken apart to suit a grow. Doesn't make any lick of sense if you ask me.

The Aerogarden works just fine. Its just the noobs that don't know how to grow. Check out my grow. These plants have been grown in the AG with no additional lighting and are doing very well. I am taking clones off of them tomorrow. I will get 15oz from my first harvest and will get another 15oz 4 weeks after the first harvest using my method.

I would get a air stone and definetly get some fans. I have them in both of my AG's and my plants love it.

I have my mother plants vegging in the AG's. I take clones off of the mothers and put them in my flood and drain table under a 400w HPS to get the dense buds that i want and to get a perpetual harvest. I just put my first batch of clones in my table a week ago and one of the white widow clones are starting to show hairs. I wouldn't use miracle grow because it is ment for soil. Tek and i use Foxfarm Hydro nutes.

I also was going to use Miracle grow stickyicky77 thanks for saving me from myself :o
does that also go for the "All purpose soluble solution (Which makes the water appear blue when dilluted, i read the 'ingredients and it seems to have everything ganja needs to grow but if you recon it will damage the ag ill take your word for it! :D And i assume you bought your white widow seeds online. How discreet was the packageing did it have any reference to the contents at all on the envelope? Cheers

I would stick with hydroponic nutes for the AG. I prefer Foxfarm because they are organic and i have had very good results with them. Yeah i bought the WW seeds online and they were in very discreet packaging.
