hey guys this is my first grow.... ever. haha. but i recently acquired an aerogarden aerogrow. it looks pretty cool and im confident that i have read enough on it that i can learn from others and have a yield higher than a couple grams. im ordering seeds tomorrow. but what i was thinking is that i would find a giant cardboard box and cut flaps in it so its like a cabinet im going to cover the inside of this box with foil so light reflects throughout the box and onto my little plants. but i need help as far as light settings go and how to germinate if i have to for a hydroponic system. wen to flower and how to induce flowering. any tips or anything will be greatly appreciated.

Areogardens are not for this kind of herb. You will have a nice little plant but no buds to speak of. Not enough light to make buds.

well what i was thinking was adding more light? and eventually taking off the fixture on the aerogrow and suspending a better light. i was also thinking about transplanting to soil wen i start to flower.

Once a plant takes one path or the other the roots are different. Hydro roots will not do good in soil. and vice verse. Yes there is a short time when they first start roots they can go either way.

I would try to use it for rooting cuttings or bonsia mother plants.
