I'm wanting to get into a micro grow, just to see what can be achieved. I watched a video on youtube of someone claiming 2 ounces and 17 grams DRY YIELD from an Aerogarden , of course it was an Aerogarden that had 3 bulbs and an extendable hood.
I'm debating on whether its worth it to pay $150.00 for the Aerogarden Extra , its the cheapest Aerogarden with 3 bulbs and an extendable hood.
It really doesn't matter about the built in timer, because I've got a few standalone timers, I wouldn't veg over 7 days with mine, I'd go straight into 12/12 after 7 days from sprouting.
I keep thinking about that video on youtube, if I could pull a single OZ. dry , from an Aerogarden Extra , I'd be satisfied. I just want one for the sake of an experiment. I already own 2-400 watt HPS ballasts and one of them is switchable to MH, and then I own a 250 watt HPS/MH digital galaxy ballast, and then 3 reflectors. I've got more grow equipment than I have room to use it all.
I've NEVER flowered with fluorescent lights, I use them for seed starting and vegging but never have flowered with fluoros , and I just want to see how the bud will turn out.
I've never done hydro either, and this is something I want to get into as well.
I've been looking on Craigslist in my area for a used Aerogarden Extra or Deluxe and every Aerogarden on there for sale is the short 2 bulb types, I want the one with 3 bulbs and super extendable lamp hood.
