im starting with the aerogrow as well. just got it yesterday. what i was going to do is get a big cardboard box to put the aerogrow in. i am going to cover it in foil so light is reflected and refracted all over the place. so hopefully it will yield more. also the base of the plant doesnt seem very sturdy because the cup isnt so big so i was going to make like a brace? have you thought about transplanting to soil. i wanted to do that but i have no idea when to do so.
