Purchasing and Aerogarden

Hello i'm new to the Aerogarden growing scene and just had a quick question about which AG i should purchase...price isn't really a factor I just want the one that will help my batch grow the best.

also minus the aerogarden how money should be spent on the rest of the equipment? another 100 or 200 dollars??

thx in advance

The AeroGarden Extra Elite is our most advanced fully-featured garden that comes with brushed stainless steel trim. It has twice the light and twice the height and gives you the greatest options for what your want to grow. It delivers larger, faster yields and healthier, fuller plants. It includes a 24" extendable lamp arm, 24-hour light cycle with 3 Deluxe Grow Bulbs
another 100 to 150 you should be able to get everything needed to grow some nice plants.. good luck if theres anything i can help with please let me know i am also pretty new but seem to be doing pretty good with the aerogarden and have done lots of homework

gonna need a fiqure 8 cord from radio shack to plug lights into a timer( 5 bucks i think it was ) for when your ready to flower your girls. AG dont have a 12/12 light cycle setting!!!

dont waste your money on an aerogarden ive been there done that the only reason i bought 1 was becuase i thought building my own was to complex but it aint , for 50 bucks u can make one instead of paying 250 for the one i had look up MAKING A DWC u will not regret it , your plants will actually grow alot faster, i can tell u how to make it if you want just pm me

BM, you don't really say why you are going with the AG or what you hope to accomplish with it. I have one and they are neat little machines and are a good little tool for somethings but, not for others. If you want to go start to finish in them it can be done but, I don't think it's a great idea. If you go ahead with it think dwarf and don't use all of the sites, they are too close together. You have a lot of options at that price point, consider them all. In the end the best decision is the one that work for you the best.

Well i'm just a beginner, this will be my first grow and at the moment I dont have that much space ya know?
but by August or September i'll have way more space....so i'm just using this as an tool to learn or an introduction to growing.

That's fine, let me give you a few things to think about. I had poor results with the nute tabs that came with it, consider GH maxigrow, get a PH test kit the dropper one for $7-8 will work, ph up and down. An airpump and airstone, it will end up working like DWC. Those lights can't be set to 12/12, I don't think. I have read that you use a figure 8 cord from a playstation to use the lights on a timer but, not the water pump. You will have to look around here for details. If not using auto flower go to 12/12 at 9-11 inches. Trust me you will learn a great deal from this and it should be fun as well. Good luck.
