I was wondering if anyone set their Aerogarden to 12/12 or "Flower" from seed? Or combined it with topping?
Being that there is such limited space this seems like the only way to "Bonsai" a plant in the Aerogarden. I've noticed that most Party Cup Plants (Plants grown in a party cup on 12/12 from seed) are simply one stretched out main cola. Possibly if somebody took their hydroponic garden and started their seed on a 12/12 combined with a good topping early on, could the Aerogarden actually produce a decent yield within 10-12 weeks? I know somebody has to have tried this. I'm very intrigued with 12/12 from seed and force flowering thing. I've seen good reports from people who took their pots outside and brought them in for 12 hours of darkness a day in a closet. Talk about and outdoor closet grow*
-Personally, I use the Aerogarden to just start out the seedlings and give them that hydroponic head start. After two to three weeks, I like to put them in organic soil and feed them organic tea. Then proceed to Banzai them with supercropping/topping/lst. I also use the Aerogarden to start all types of flowers and vegetables.... don't judge it makes amazing broccoli.
On topping by the Kodiak:
There are several types of hormones that regulate growth. One of the most important growth hormones is called auxin. It originates in the main shoot and is part of a mechanism called the auxin transport system. This hormone plays a big part in the internal signaling and growth control mechanisms of the plant. It also regulates the formation and behavior of other growth hormones that are responsible for everything from root growth to the formation of flowers.

Good luck
