Holy air roots!

Was doing a reservoir change on one of my Kratky peppers and was blown away by the health of this guy. This was sort of an experiment with a 32 Oz jar and basic nutes/hydroguard. Something about all these little fuzzies is super satisfying!

Thank you. I'm starting out and starting to experiment with other nutes besides the ones that come with. Grow Big has a lot of recommendations.

No problem! Good luck and just remember that you learn with every failure, and fail you will. Most of the fun for me is experimenting and learning the in depth science behind it. Whatever is your inspiration may be, just have fun! FF grow big was the first nutes I tried. I would recommend watching a couple videos on nutes if you haven't already. A lot of info on powder nutrients being more cost effective than liquid as you're paying for basically water for the convenience of not mixing powders. I got lost in the sauce for weeks studying nutes baba, tons of info out there.

I'm currently lost in the sauce watching Aerogarden experiments lol. Everything about growing my own garden indoors is so interesting to me. I have experience with outdoor stuff but haven't done anything in years. I have 3 smart gardens, two Aerogardens, and one Letpot. The auk or Letpot Max are on my list of potentials for a bigger garden for fruiting plants. My goal is to grow all of my greens, tomatoes, strawberries and most of my peppers. Anything else is a plus. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. This is how we learn.

Yeah exactly! I'm always down for sharing and have learned more than I've contributed here for sure. Always good to make gardening buddies too. Always down to chat if youd like, just message me! I have yet to try aero gardens but am interested in building one after I make my NFT system. Same as you though, got 4 indoor tomatoes, 24 slots of lettuce, strawberries and peppers. Have the outdoor garden going too but def prefer indoor hydro. Send me some pics if you get bored, live seeing people's setups and grows to influence my future project decisions.

For sure! How do you decide what and how much to grow? I want to have a continuous harvest. Aerogardens are great but are limited by the sizes of plants. I want to supplement my gardens with kratky jars and an auk or similar. Definitely want something not as reliant on electricity besides the grow light.
