I am reusing several Sprouts to grow strawberries in starter blocks as shown in the picture. The trays holding the blocks are 5" x 5" microgreens trays. I also use them for germination cups that contain a tablespoon of course sand. Recently separated 'Hawaii 4' runners are in the blocks. They are so useful that I just bought another one off eBay.
Did I completely fuck this up? I just replanted one basil pod and one mint pod into a pot. I have to cut off a significant amount of the basils roots too. When I bought this pot weeks ago they were half the size. Life happened and I just now decided to do it because the LED light was burning the leaves (6 pod sprout version.) Should I let them settle for a week and then replant the mint in a different pot?
I have acquired an Aerogarden Sprout. The pump does not appear to be circulating. I suspect that there might be a clog. Any tips on getting the pump to work?
After almost 2 years not using my Aerogarden, it's time to start using it again.
I have been looking for different kind of grow media instead of the standard peat moss.
What other options do I have? I saw an old Reddit post that someone uses organic cotton balls.
Also where do y'all buy your seeds from?
I planted my pods on july 9. Its august 18 and it looks like this.
I unexpectedly bought a Click and Grow on eBay (I was the only bidder). I decided to try it at least once. So, I bought their grow anything pods (3 for $15!) and planted dwarf petunias (Survival Garden Seeds). I immediately planted the same seeds in a Harvest Elite 360.
These photos are from day 4. AG is clearly ahead. Germination might be different because C&G pods have embedded time-released fertilizer and I don’t add nutrients to AG until I see true leaves (or roots extending below the cone basket).
I’m going to keep comparing the progress, but I‘m already convinced that the C&C plants won’t live to maturity. They’re confined to the space of a 2” nursery pot and I wonder if they’ll become completely root bound before they bloom.
I have 2” net pots that fit in the C&G. If/when the petunias fail, I might put an airstone in the tank and grow something decorative in leca.
My yard sale aero garden and expired mighty mini tomato seeds (from 2015) are finally ripening!!
Lots of differences in the plant structure on these. The spicy globe is the squat deep green guy in the back. The lime smells almost like trix cereal. Think they are all at about 3 weeks from seed.
Cheers
First time Areogardener, just looking for advice to not overload my garden with too many tomato plants. I think 2-3 seeds have sprouted and I feel like I should remove one, but unsure when
I know that they can get burned by the light, but I keep the light at least 8 inches above the tips of the lettuce. Do I need to raise it even higher?
I was asked to share this. We grew a death spiral plant and a Carolina reaper plant next to each other. We were able to cross pollinate them before the reaper had an unfortunate accident and the stem snapped 😔. But the spiral stayed and it's reaching the end of it's life cycle now.
The little fat one is the hybrid before it turned red.
He's some pics. They are insanely hot. 1.2 to pushing 2 million Scoville. They are tasty but dangerous 😂 the heat hits instantly like a kick in the nuts with a nice citrus finish.
And I don’t even like tomatoes. I grow them for my neighbors and my dog.
Just wanted to see if anyone has had any issues with there Bounty Elite water sensor going bad and how did you get a replacement for it??
I recently thrifted a working Aerogarden Harvest 360 and am looking forward to trying out a countertop garden!! I know a lot of people ask the best seeds to start out with and stuff like that but I was wondering if anyone had some “rookie mistakes” or obvious ”what-not-to-do’s” that I should avoid when it comes to these.
I don’t really have much gardening experience and this is my first aerogarden. I found an adult weevil on my thai basil plant- I removed it and pruned the plant extensively to look for more signs but didn’t see anything else on this or the other herbs. Not really sure what to do next or if there are any other ways to check for an infestation. Any advice on next steps?
Just saw the Farm 12 XL is on clearance sale again on AeroGarden website, $209. I have three Farm 12XL already, can’t help getting another one. :)
I have had my Aerogarden Bounty for several years. I always try to clean it out thoroughly before reusing. But I keep having Algae issues.
What is the best way to clean the pump to ensure Algae isn't still in it?
Also while growing, is it sufficient to just add a bit of hydrogen peroxide in when I add the plant nutrients and water (topping it off)? Or do I need to dump all the water and scrub the tank every two weeks?
I already keep the stickers on the seedlings and caps on as long as I can. I made sure there are no uncovered holes. Any other tips besides the hydrogen peroxide every couple weeks?
Pepper plant looking healthy so far, was wondering if it is over crowded or if it’s fine.
I would really like to get the seed sprouting tray for the AeroGarden but the only lace I can find it actually available is on Etsy for like $70.
Has it been discontinued? Any other locations I can find it? I have found the AeroGarden excels at starting plants but would like to transfer to pots where they can actually thrive afterward.
Ordered a Bounty a few weeks back and they ended up cancelling my order and refunding the money. The website doesn't say that they are currently out of stock but I was wondering if something similar happened to anyone.
