    i saw an infomercial last night about this thing called aerogrow. have a look at it for yourself. i think its got some potential to grow marijuana what do you think? i mean it said it comes with an advanced kit thing to grow your own seeds in it and whatnot.. so i think it would work..

    keep in mind I don't know the most about growing, but I'd say no you could not grow a pot plant in it simply because of the height, or lack there of between the base and the attached light. I'm sure someone with a better growing knowledge will explain the many more reasons why you couldn't use it.

    of course you couldnt grow in it for long i know, but im saying, as far as growing a smaller plant and being able to smoke it. this was a dumb post but i was just curious really..

    well there's no more than 15 inches of actual grow room and I think that no plant will stay in that height restriction and still be able to be harvested

    Whatever grows to that length probably won't even be worth the time wasted trying to smoke it, let alone the money you could have just spent on a nice ballast for a 400w HPS or something, some heady seeds, or ferts/foods for outdoor growing.

    that particular model is useless for marijuana growng... but you can get other aeroponics set-ups on-line or at your local hydroponics store.
    Ive built a few aeroponic set-ups as science projects for high school.

    personally i prefer hydroponics to aeroponics because aeroponics usually takes a little more up-keep and the nozzle get clogged some times if the nutrients are not mixed well.

    I'd like to try setting up a hydro/aero system, but all of that can get so complicated. It's an art to me, but sometimes it's like it's not meant to be that complicated, in my eyes.

    Though... I've always been curious to try it.

    actually, on the contrary. ive done 2 months of research and am beggining my initial "1st grow" i have a 7 poder, go with a short plant, and clip it. and there are ways to tie th[/COLORem like tomatoes, do a little research. not only that, check out ebay, there is a conversion kit, gives u massive light, and 2 extra feet in height. good luck . there are more success stories, than fails ive found. one search u may try is "aerogrow medicnal marijuana]

    actually high times recently did an article on this very question.

    this isnt firsthand info, so i can't vouch for it. but the article showed you CAN grow pot in it as is under certain conditions, but you will get next to no yield. i am pretty certain they said it is only suitable for clones and really not recommended at all.


    regardless of whether or not you CAN get smokable bud, its too expensive and too tiny a yield to even be worth considering, beyond a novelty (if you have money to waste)

    it could start it off atleast. the hardest part about growing anything is getting it rooted. and the height is adjustable too... soo,, if you couldnt harvest you atleast got one helluva headstart! :-D

    i already have a product very similar to this.

    [​IMG] here's a pic

    they got a tiny, miniscule harvest, not worth the effort. but it seems -possible- to get smokable bud from it.

    I've just put germinated seeds in one yesterday and they have already grown about .25" in less than 24 hours. Shells are cracking well. I read one account of getting a couple of ounces from one grow cycle with 3 plants. That would be enough for me. I will add more lights on the sides.

    24 hours later and the hulls are off the seeds. 3 little plants under the lights about an inch tall.
