so this last week was going great, had kept my res temp low, and my rust was basically all gone. Then I had to go away for 2 days to help my dad set up his 2 grown tents. I had my significant other watch over everything while I was gone. Unfortunately she wasn't able to keep the res cold enough while I was gone and the started to come back. Its so far only on 3 leafs that I can see. I also taped up the openings where the probes go into so to help cut down on light and heat getting into the res.
Never grown a Dwarf plant before and it is growing super slow, like a inch a week almost lol. I know that the max hight they can get to is roughly 24 inchs but at the rate its going i don't see it getting that big.
My nutrients levels slowly drop between 30-50ppm a day, I usually drain it out every 4-5 days and drain and refill it. I try to do it before the ppm drops more then 200ppm below what it was when I mixed it up.
The trellis that comes with the aerogarden is just a basic plastic ring. So I used twine and turned it into a net so that the plant could have more support. Hopefully it works lol
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.
@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.
@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
Wow reminds me a bit of dr Grinspoon I smoked at barneys farm coffeeshop in Amsterdam back in 2015-2016 wow once all this corona is hopefully over that’s my next stop
@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.
