So I have been dying to do this for well over a year. I was on Google one day looking at AeroGardens in images and i came across a picture of a AeroGarden that some peraon put in a cardoard box. The walls had tin foil on them and it was on a small shelf. Very quick and easy and not that expensive to set up. I thought that was brilliant, but that with a little money this could work a lot better sooooo here's the Idea!!! To take a top of the line counter top hydroponics system and build a box to put it in that is almost like a grow tent set up and try to grow a Auto in it. I'm still waiting on a few parts to finish up the box (should be here this weekend) so next week I'll explain the ins and outs of that. This week I'll talk about the grow system. I'm using the 2019 AeroGarden Bounty Elite as my base. It uses a 50w LED board that can go up to a max of 2 feet grom the base. You can customize the timing for the light, adjust the water pump to circulate when you want. Keeps track of how full your reservoir is, and let's you know when you should refill it through wifi. Ive done a bit of customizing to it by adding a 760 GPH air pimp to add air to the water and to help keep the nutrients mixed. The AeroGarden also come with a really cheap "trellis" system. I modified it to fit my liking a bit more. Well now that ive gotten that out of the way its plant talk time. Because of the limited space I have with the light I went with crop king seeds Dwarf Low Flyer because its max hight is 2ft. I plan to do LST to help with that. If this ends up being a successful project I'll be moving to a different plant next or trying two low flyers. Well Happy Growing everyone!!

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.

@Ginger_gnome, thanks for the explanation bro.

@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.

Amazing. This diary should be an exemplar of every AeroGarden grow. Good work my friend.

How did you overcome the rust issues?
Ginger_gnome
Ginger_gnomecommented4 years ago
@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
Ginger_gnome
Ginger_gnomecommented4 years ago
@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

@Ginger_gnome, thanks for the explanation bro. How do you keep your temp down? Water bottle? Chiller?

You literally grew exactly how I’d dream of it. Amazing.

Ginger_gnomecommented4 years ago
@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.
