AeroGarden AutoFlower Experiment

Now it is week four, and I am amazed at how quickly the two plants have grown. Each week I have been changing the water, and adding new nutrients. When doing so today, I noticed just how thicker the roots had become. There are now two considerably large root balls, with a noticeable weight. Each time I change the water every week, the roots have been growing together and become entwined. I have been carefully separating the two roots each time. Due to the rapid growth I have experienced, I have started LST'ing the plants to ensure they don't grow higher than the maximum light height for the Aerogarden (34"). I did this by sticking some 'cable clips' to the top of the garden with removable picture hanging strips, and tying the stems down with plant wire as best I could. I plan to do this for another 3-4 inches if possible, and then will start scrogging the plants, using the Aerogardens' trellis attachment.
