First time growing, single plant try out. have a few questions, help me out plz!

thanks for reading this, please respond if you have some thoughts or tips for me.

Im using a standard(original) aerogarden, its not mine and the base part wasnt functioning so I just use it for the lighting. The plant is in Miracle Grow Organic Choice potting mix, (N) total 0.10%, (P) available 0.05%, Soluable potash (K20) 0.05%.
I water using Schultz plant food which has a 10-15-10 ratio, every 2 to 4 days depending on plants H20 intake. I keep the light setting on tomatoes and peppers.

I have repotted the plant once to increase the ammount of available soil, and a few of the original leaves from sprouting have shed, I dont know if that is natural or a problem, no other leaves have shed, and all are healthy green.

I have a partial enclosure around the garden coverd in foil, to keep it warm and dry.


I realize that not using the entire system will slow down the growing period, but this plant is 1 and 3/4 months old, at barley 6" tall, and 4.5 inches at widest leaf distance.

What can I do to speed up growth?

What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing right?

Thinkg about repotting again so i can lower the plant some, giving it more room/ time to get bushy.

i dunno what your using for a light?.the nitrogen can go up a bit..i use 24-8-16 mg..for veg,when she starts to flower,i use 15-30-15 mg..start with 1/4 what the box says..then work your way up if you have no problems..i use mg soil and nutes alot of people don't like mg but if used right it will work well..last summer i grew 5ft plants inside then let them finnish outside they topped out at 13+ft..don't listen to the hype about mg..keep in mind the nutes are very strong..hope this helps...
