I am currently growing in an aerogarden as some know. I am having a little trouble though and i cant put my finger on it. First of all i know that pics will help and am gonna try to get those up tonight but for now ill explain.

I have 3 bag seed they seemd to be doing fine and growing well and then they just came to a hault. I have checked temps as well as made sure that they have plenty of lighting. i havent started nutes at all, although it about time to.

the bottemm two leafs have turned yellow but all of what new growth there is is as green as it can be. And stays that way.

I have the ph as close to 5.7-5.8 as i can, but it seemed that once i started geting the water right the plants stopped growing.

Im lost, i have seen grows at the same rate as mine and my plants are no where near the size.

Any suggestions are appreciated

one more thing to add to the question

is there a difference in pH up and down chemicals? Is one better than another or are they all the same?

thanks man i appericate the insight. I know that if i wait around ill never get what i am looking for and my plants will eventually die.....

just wanted to see some quick advice or quick reference thats all and i have been doing so much reading. Almost to the point where i am seeing green lol. But i think i found the issue to my problem. pH and PPM. I was going about it all wrong got it corrected and with in 3 hrs of the changes my plants started perking up

not gonna say i am in the clear but i got my fingers crossed

if they are picking up now ,they will be just fine.Deffiniteley get a ph pen and a TDS meter,then you cant fail unless its on purpose or experimenting.thats why we have such good grows.

Plants have taken a big step in the positive. I babied them back to health. Got the root rot out of the picture, as well as got my pH in line. I noticed a huge growth in roots over the last two days.

Thanks guys i appreciate the help as well as the comments. I have been watching them twice a day to make sure.

the new root development is outstanding almost to the point where i couldn't believe it.

One more thing....SICC i found a air rod/bubble wand that fits diagnally under the AG airstone from corner to corner and it sits all the way on the botton secured with suction cups works great. it gives a nice balance of bubbles all over the tank

I am actually in the process of building a BP system. Its really easy and the parts have been cheeper than to buy the kit. The kit is a good price though if you dont have time to build one
