Placed three purple punch auto flowers from Royal queen seeds. Two of three germinated. So 66% success rate. Three days germination. After the tap root came the one on the right was fine I did nothing. At five days I started 1/4 tsp grow big and 1/2 tsp big bloom staying under 200 ppm. The one on the left had trouble penetrating the sponge so I cut the sponge lengthwise and stretching the root down straight. Afterwards the tap root got better and stronger.
Best of luck with your grow! I agree with you, the prices and taxes at the dispensaries are through the roof. I'll be checking back to see how your aerogarden grow progresses. ๐๐ช
So I had some nutrient burn I have been keeping the ppm around 200 but fed a day early and the following morning both had brown spots on all older growth. So I flushed and changed the water in the aerogarden resovoir. Then after some thought I decided to no longer feed in the aerogarden resovoir directly and try an IV approach using the aerovoir extra resovoir to house the nutrient solution already diluted by gallon. Then I measured the water in the aerogarden and it was 130ppm. My well water is 96ppm with nothing added. So after pruning the brown leaves and rearranged the large leaves under new leaves to get light down there and I think it will be a better start to week four
