I'm gonna be trying the first one out from some bagseed, just for the first experiment, since I'm gonna feel like this guy>>>>
through this learning process.
No worries mate!
You will be fine...
The biggest mistake is worrying too much...
Just relax and take care of your babies, and in time, they will take care of you....
I am very new at this hydroponic/aeroponic scene, this is my first indoor grow...
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, but remember... there have been many before you and me, and ALL of the questions HAVE BEEN ANSWERED, you just gotta put in a little time on the search feature...
Of course there are also a number of members who will take the time and explain something you are not sure of...
Anyway, I am a big fan of keeping it small, as I am only growing for my medicine... People have different needs though...
As you can see, I do a lot of LST (Low Stress Training)...
Tying is one way to keep the vertical growth to a minimum...
But there are many others...
Well, Thanks for stopping by!!!

Looks like some Blueberry I use to grow.. were these plants flushed out long enough
Prolly could have used a little more light through the canopy to finish out the sides
but I'd still smoke em
Hi Dawolf!!
Welcome to the Mini Garden...
Pull up a chair...It's been fun this far...
And it is likely to get more interesting....
As for the other grow, it is not mine, so I cannot answer any questions about it...
I will tell you that the grower was very happy with the results...
Now I am going to pick your brain a little, if you don't mind....
Blueberry huh?!? I did notice some "purplish" tints, but I was told if they mature anymore they turn brown, not PURPLE... Any thoughts? any pictures?
Ok, now onto flushing...
What makes you think/recognize that there was not enough flushing...?
As I said, I can't tell you how long the flush was, because I don't know...
As for the light, I agree that more light is better, and I am thinking a lot of gardens could benefit from more light...
But I do know that each 4x4 tray has it's own 600 watt HPS...
And I also know that a lot of the tops were removed to allow the bottom halves to finish ....
I thank you for your thoughts....
Ok! enough of someone else's garden...
As far as your A/G I don't know how much you paid for that thing but could have easily made a high quality machine yourself for roughly 50.00 50 site machine or whatever you wanted but it's your money. I would think your surely gonna have to raise the lamps cause flowering plants don't stop growing and I think you said you have heigth restraints???

I agree 100% that I could achieve the same thing for a third of what I paid ($150)... No question there...!
And yes, it is my money... and it has to be earned the hard way... WORK...
With that in mind, you must realize the value beyond the plastic parts...
I, with ZERO hydro/aero knowledge, was able to go to the store and that very afternoon transplant my clones into it...
All that with ZERO know-how...
Now that I have it... now that I have read more about indoor growing... now that I have found THIS SITE...
Now, I can go to the hardware store and have a clue...
For experienced growers, the AG is garbage... and a lot of people laugh at them (not saying you are)...
But for someone, like me, that has little info, but really wants to leave the dirt outside... It is the perfect platform to start from....
I plan on building my own from now on... But I know a lot more today than I did then....
Ok... now for the lights and vertical space...
Yes, you are correct, I WILL have to raise the lights... Also no questions there...
I am TRYING to keep them as low as possible, and to have some horizontal growth...
I want my branches to grow to the sides... hopefully it will give better light to all bud sites... I am trying to grow my bottom nugs NEXT to my colas, not in their shade...
There is a big difference between don't want them to grow tall and can't have them grow tall...
I find myself right in the middle....
Just as much as I WANT to keep it MINI, I know that the AG is not the environment for big and tall plants....
I never wanted to grow full size plants in it... so it suits me...
I HOPE to not have to raise the hood very much, it would tickle me silly if I never reach the top notch on the light arm, but if I have to I will... I can even hang the hood from a chain... add more lights...
But that would NOT be mini, would it....?!?!?
I appreciate your comments!!!
Stop by any time!!!
Cheers!
Gypsy...
