Sooooo I decided to add more light lol. I was going to do this after this grow but I ordered them up and after they got here I decided why not add them now lol. I feel like I've already accomplished what I set out to do with this grow, and thats grow a cannabis plant in a aerogarden with a custom made grow box. Now I just want to try and maximize im end yeild as much as I can. So the lights are 4 cheap Amazon special LED 10w lights (40w total) they give off a super low par at 3" and there just over 18" long. Ive only had them in the box since 09/26 (3 days) and they only run for 12 hours. So my lights structure works like this 12pm aerogarden light turns on at 10% and over the next hour slowly increase to 100%, the at 3pm my supplement lighting turns on for 12 hours (3pm to 3am). Then at 5am my aerogarden light slowly decrease from 100% to 0% at 6am. Trying to make it like a sunrise, mid day, sun set like structure.
The buds are starting to look very nice on the plant and hopefully we'll fill out a bit more but only time can tell. Getting very sticky and the smell is very mouth watering. I'm excited to see how this smoke taste compete what ive grown in soil.
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.
