What should I do? My roots are getting long and I don't want them to get bunched up together. I have a ECO air pump and air stone also added. The lights are 48w T5 and a flouresent tube light. I run the lights and pump 24hours a day.
do not worry about the roots, they will sort themselves out .
they may become loosely entangled both together and around the pump and airstone/air line - but they are very strong and resilient when healthy and you will be able to untangle them without too much hassle if you need to move or transplant them - but unless that is a propagator they will not need to be moved anyway.
How many plants can I have inside the aerogarden, and how long before I can know if they are male or female? The plants that I have are bag seeds, where can I get the "good seeds"? (I live in the U.S.)
the aerogarden can support only 3 female plants through flowering, great lights! remember start flowering at 4 nodes tall, and your plants will triple in size. i used a nylon attached to the bottom of the aero pods to contain the roots so i didn't have that problem. (after the first root fiasco) a mature female plant can drink up to a gallon a day the aero res is only 1 gallon
