I'm experimenting growing peas and broccoli. Peas are shooting up, growing almost an inch a day, and broccoli is started to get overshadowed.

I need to raise the light again for the peas, so here I am with this question.

I did transplant another broccoli seedling into a pot next to my aerogarden and it's doing fine so I would at least still have one.

I have two pods regrowing green onions and wouldn't mind tossing if they are taking too many nutrients. It was an on a whim decision after having grocery store green onions.

Also featuring a few various pepper seedling starts for outdoors (orange and yellow bells, orange habanero, giant jalapeno, and an experimental superhot hybrid), my crazy bunch of green onions, and some herbs (basil, dill, oregano, and rosemary).

Not bad for two tiny tabletop setups! Thankfully I can start moving my addiction outside soon.

had some fungus gnats flying around from my seedlings in starter cells and probably other new plants I brought in, this mf took care of them in a couple days. idk how he got in here but hoping he sticks around. looks like a red-backed jumping spider

Just started to try AeroGarden in our apartment but the light IS Bright. Our apartment is open concept so we can see the light from every angle… Obviously it’s expected but I think it’s affecting my nighttime routine. I wonder if y’all have some ways to help with limiting the light to only the garden itself?

Out of my 6 salad green pod, two are doing great, two did not germinate so I tossed two seeds from lettuce seed pack I purchased myself a couple days ago, that I germinated with paper towel, and these two has started to grow up.

Now there are the other the two pods that is kind of in a awkward state, they have germinated quite early on and they have been staying like that for almost two week now. The aforementioned new seeds I tossed in the other pod has started to grow bigger than these two just in two days.

I still have some germinated seed from the other pack that I am going to plant outside tomorrow, my question is should I remove these two and replace with the seed I germinated? Or should I wait?

I have only used the Aerogarden fertilizer for my lettuce gardens. Should I be adding Cal Mag? I am guessing that it would make my lettuces more nutritious, higher in calcium and magnesium? Is the powder form of Cal Mag a decent product?

Out of 30 seedlings, 27 have germinated. Moved most of the romaine and cucumbers under the lights. Yay.

Hi!

I recently started using my aerogarden again. I had great success with herbs before - but vegetables seem to be a bit trickier.

I got my Tiny Tim Tomato plant to finally grow - but it is so picky.

It was wilting a bit initially so I added more plant food (it was due anyways). That made it look like the first picture.

I noticed a white spot on one of the leaves during that time. There is still only one white spot.

Next - I added a mini fan after that to help with the other plants (noticed the lettuce having gray colouring on the end).

This helped those plants - but after a couple of days the tomato plant started to wilt again. I may have had it too close as it was right beside it. I read that this could dry out the leaves (I don't know how accurate that is).

Any help with trying to make this little guy thrive would be so helpful! I've grown tomatoes in the ground but hydroponic growing is so different.

The first picture is after the plant food was added. The last two are from today (different angles).

Also - the towel isn't always there. One of the cats likes to munch on plants so making a protective fortress that works is challenging lol.

I didn't pay enough attention to what I was buying and thought I got the cherry tomato seeds that grow up to 18" but ended up with bush tomatoes instead. The seed grew rapidly to about 10" tall in my aerogarden so I transplanted it into a 20" pot. I gently pulled on the basket and ended up with like a 6" root ball that I put in potters soil. Two days later and it has melted into this dead looking plant. If anything I have over watered it at this point. What do I do?

My thyme plant died and I am trying to get a new replacement pod but I cannot find it anywhere? Where do you go to get replacements? I am from Canada so maybe options are limited

1st timer here. Is it too early to prune this mint? 12 days in. I heard it’s good to prune early and often. Will this encourage it to grow more outwards?

I have a couple pods that are taking a little while to sprout. Meanwhile, I am seeing green algae growth on the sponge. Is there a way to minimize algae growth before sprout? Or it’s ok and don’t worry about it?

Last week half my aerogarden lights went out. I tried to restart the lights by pushing the lights off ans the entire unit turned off. I've cleaned it, cleared out the pump, held the leaf and light button for 5 seconds, and it's still not working. Is it a goner?

Lettuce but would rather harvest the whole thing at once.

I guess secondary question is should I raise the light

Anyone with harvest and harvest 2.0 that can please tell me if the air pump on harvest 2.0 makes more noise than the harvest?

This is my first successful grow in an aerogarden. I think they're dwarf tomatoes? This has gone rampant due to work travel. Had someone just add in water and nutrients while I was gone.

It's 7 weeks old and has a bunch of flowers and more flower bulbs hiding around but it's a jungle. The flowers aren't getting any light and I'm afraid to see what the roots look like. How exactly would I go about trimming this? Do I chop off the flowers too?

I'm new to this and have had success with all the herbs I'm growing, except thyme! I've replanted twice and not even a sprout. I'm just putting seeds in a wet pod. Is there some secret handshake or trick I need to know?

My romaine - red and green - has sprouted visibly. Cress is also sprouted, but not visibly. I will plug in and turn on the fans when I eventually remove domes. :) I'm sure I'll be back on here with more hearty updates in the next few weeks! My mental health isn't great, but managing to grow things and keep them alive is helping keep me alive, lol. Happy growing everyone!

Hi everyone! I’m totally new to the AeroGarden world. I live in an apartment with no outdoor balcony or gardening space, so I was keen on getting a hydroponic system. After watching a few YouTube reviews, it seemed clear AeroGarden would be a reliable and beginner-friendly product to work with. I purchased the Bounty Basic, and set it up according to the instructions.

For my first time using it, I decided to go with the pods it came with - heirloom salad greens. I only did 5 out of 9 pods so as hopefully not to overcrowd the AeroGarden.

I noticed the LED lights didn’t turn on for the first few days, and I thought maybe that was normal for germination mode? But it’s been about a week now, and when I checked and saw a few sprouts, I had a funny feeling that the light should’ve turned on by now.

I looked it up on their FAQs and saw they recommended taking the LED post out of the base, detaching the hood from the post, and making sure everything is connected correctly. I did all of that, and am sure I connected everything correctly. I tried turning on the LED light using the button with the sunshine icon, but nothing is turning on. Has anyone else had this issue? Any thoughts on what I could do to fix it?

I generally have been keeping the soil very wet for the first week while they are in potted soil after beginning my aerogarden. I've never had one with algae grow its algae like this.. Can I just cover with soil well, so as to block light from the algae, or will it find its way up and continue to grow? Just let it dry out? I'm honestly not sure what to do, any input appreciated lol! Happy growing! It's Dill, btw, but I'm sure you all could tell!

Did a deep cleaning of the unit today and after draining the sink…this little stopper was gone. I have never noticed it before and I’m assuming I will have to just use some duct tape to cover it…but what is its purpose?!

Thanks 😅

Hi guys!

I've been using idoo nutrients so far but I'm running out and those are not sold here in Sweden (or at least I can't find them).

Are the letpot nutrients a good alternative? Otherwise the only alternative I found are "Plagron" but the smallest bottle they sell is 1L

The upper left pod seemed to have a small red romaine and a butter head lettuce growing in same pod. Should I remove the small red romaine to give the other more space to grow?

I planted two orange hat tomatoes in my aerogarden and they are doing amazing. The last few weeks they've been vlooming like crazy and I've been doing the shake-shake once a day method to pollinate. However I noticed that even though the flowers cluster in like 5 to 7 flowers in one vine, I am only really getting two or three tomatoes per cluster.

So today I tried the toothbrush method. I turned my electric toothbrush on, gently touched the flowers... and visibly SAW pollen shooting out of the flowers!! I never once saw pollen flying when I shook my plants but seeing that little stream of particles makes me wish I had used the electric toothbrush all along.

The real proof will be in seeing how many tomatoes are produced per cluster but I'm feeling very hopeful now. So if anyone else has been shaking because you're also lazy like me, well, I feel like the extra effort of the toothbrush is so worth it.
