its interesting because i always use hydroguard for root protection and with DWC, i didn't have to control my temp and hydroguard was enough. But aerogarden, it was a different story. I am learning from your grow thanks.

So when I grade my plants I look at 5 different things and each accounts for 2 of the 10 stars.
- Yeild 1/2
- Taste 2/2
- Smell 1/2
- Look 1/2
- High 2/2
The buds were lacking in size and that effected the look of it and the yeild was just a bit less then a gram per watt based on the original light. But I added 4 10w LED bars 3 weeks into flower so I ended up with closer to .5g per watt. I feel like I should be able to get better then that. The smell is nice but not overly strong. The taste and high tho are really nice, would love to have got more but it is what it is.

Nutrients
There's a reason most growers use this product. It works.
TriPart Bloom
TriPart Grow
TriPart Micro
I've used advanced nutrients a few times before. Its good, its just the cost that is really off putting. But you get what you pay for
Lights
So for germinating and Veg this system worked great. I want to run it a few more times before I make a final opinion on flower. Also with the tank being only 1G of water it heats up fast so you need to use a water chiller or ice to keep it cold.
This was a really fun grow. Building the box and planning out how everything was going to go in it was a lot of fun. The fast germinating and amazing growth during veg fun to watch. The lack in size of the end results was a bit unfortunate but what she lacks in size, she makes up for in quality. The AeroGarden works great as long as you keep a close eye on your reservoir temperatures. Simple to use, yes to maintain and clean. The 50w light works great for veg, but im unsure yet on how well it works on its own in flower. One really nice thing about this set up is super fast turnaround. I made some adjustments for the next grow but clean up takes 2 hours and you can have your next plant up and running the same day as harvest. If your looking at doing a AeroGarden grow feel free to msg me for advice. Now whenever I see people ask "can you grow cannabis with a AeroGarden?" I'll be able to say yes, you can.
Happy growing everyone

@MaryJaneUSA, I was looking in to getting hydroguard but a grow buddy of mine suggested against it. Said it won't work properly because the leaf rust is being caused by the roots getting to warm and hydrogaurd won't stop that.

How did you overcome the rust issues?

@MaryJaneUSA, ive worked it out that if I add 6 ice cubes when it hits 20c it'll drop it down to 17c and keep it there for a few hours, depending on the air temperatures

@MaryJaneUSA, lol icecubes rite now but ive been looking at making something to help keep it low. Frozen water bottle would work but it be a pain I the ass to switch it when the plant gets to big. Water chiller would be ideal but the cast for one can get atrocious

@MaryJaneUSA, thanks!!! Its been a lot of work to make it work properly but so far its looking excellent how I hopped it would. My only concern is that the 50w light might be insufficient for flower. If it is ive already got a plan to fix that for the next grow.

Let me know how this goes, I’ve tried several times with an AeroGarden Farm Plus but every time I had some form of leaves rusting and eventually dying.
