I have a Supercloset coming to me soon-ish, but I was thinking about getting an aerogarden or something similar to give my seeds a jumpstart before it arrives. Has anyone used something similar for germination and the first bit of veg? What model did you use? And did you use any nutes or just distilled/RO water?

I use an old model aerogarden, net pits and 1.5” mini rock wool cubes. @Gmann9116 recently picked one up to use. I do use nutes after 2-3 sets of true leaves come in and start at 25%, then 50% etc.

Perfect. Once it gets that many true leaves I would probably move it TBH. But good to know!
