rick357,

Welcome to the forum. Glad to have another point of view on this Aerogarden set up. I hope we can save you a bunch of time and trouble by posting our experiences with the Aerogarden. By all means please post any pertinent info you come up with so we can all help each other as a community should. I'm still interested in the maximum capabilities of the Aerogarden as a weed growing technique. I have been ever since I first started seeing them on TV a year or two ago.

With the increasing popularity of the Aerogarden, I wonder if we should make this a sticky or have a subsection for Aerogardening.

somthing i found:

Three Ways to Kill Mold Naturally

Tea Tree Treasure
Nothing natural works for mold and mildew as well as this spray. I've used it successfully on a moldy ceiling from a leaking roof, on a musty bureau, a musty rug and a moldy shower curtain. Tea tree oil is expensive, but a little goes a very long way. Note that the smell of tea tree oil is very strong, but it will dissipate in a few days.

2 teaspoons tea tree oil
2 cups water p> Combine in a spray bottle, shake to blend, and spray on problem areas. Do not rinse. Makes about 2 cups, lasts indefinitely.

Grapefruit Seed Extract
The advantage of using grapefruit seed extract instead of tea tree oil for killing mold is that it is odorless.

20 drops grapefruit seed extract
2 cups water

Combine in a spray bottle, shake to blend, and spray on problem areas. Do not rinse. Makes about 2 cups, lasts indefinitely.

Vinegar Spray
Straight vinegar reportedly kills 82 percent of mold. Pour some white distilled vinegar straight into a spray bottle, spray on the moldy area, and let set without rinsing if you can put up with the smell. It will dissipate in a few hours.

Yeah thanks for chiming in rick, fyi you may want to use some hydrogen peroxide diluted into your aerogarden right from the beginning. since jimmybones and myself have both had mold problems in ours..just a suggestion opie anf jimmy both have more experience than me so whatever they say takes precedence...

please continue to post results with pictures if possible so we can compare grows.

Be careful using those natural things. Most or all will affect the PH of your solution. You may need to compensate a little if you use them, by adding a little PH up or down.

I accidentally found this today and thought it sounded real nice for your moldy snot problem:
Physan 20

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

yea i saw this a few time, but didnt seem to be worth the money to me, actualy sold my aerogarden today, but it will have some good room to let them grow

also + opie that stuff looks very nice, its been added to the list of stuff i need to get

AeroGarden Deluxe Upgrade Kit by AeroGrow
me and my boy share the same thing thats his plant in the avatar but i just got the pro and dont have the loot 4 a hps lamp so thats my best idea

yo i would at least get a cheap like 250w hps, it will make a hudge diff in the harvest

[wordsandwich]

roots seem to be looking better today, and all the purple spots that were left in the roots have turned a little bubbly white on top (kinda like infected cuts do when you pour hydrogen peroxide on them) so i think it's working. the only part that is not changing is the spouts that drip the water onto the rapid rooter sponge. they are so clogged up with pink/purple snot and they are right next to the rapid rooter so i can't really pull it out....it's tough to describe but jimmy you probably know what i'm talking about..any suggestions??

good find on that physan stuff opie...i'm going to give the hydrogen peroxide a few days but i may be ordering that stuff soon & maybe we'll get to see how it works. thanks for the link I tried to rep you but it won't let me anymore- apparenly i need to spread some love around before repping you again? i think that's BS!!
