Bounty and Elite Questions

a few seconds ago ·

Hi Questions??-- I initially got an elite and I was going to return it since the Bounty's were on sale, so i got a Bounty and decided to keep both. I ordered orange hat seeds and astro arugula and buttercrunch seeds. The elite came with romaine but they expire in 3 weeks. I plan on using the elite for all the lettuce and put two pods in the bounty for the tomatoes. but I do not have any plastic covers for any of the pods.

Should I still try to use two of the romaine pods and use the other four for the buttercrunch and arugula??

I removed the seeds in the pods that I plan on using. How many tomatoe, lettuce and arugula seeds do I put in each pod??

Should I wait until i can purchase clear plastic covers from the dollar store? Also is it Ok to cover the holes that I am not using with tin foil?? Thank you!!!

Too soon to pick?

One of my Orange Hat tomatoes split, and I read that this can be prevented by plucking the tomatoes off the vine before they are fully ripe—but not while they’re still green—and letting them ripen off the plant.

I’m now looking at these good-sized little guys and wondering if I should pluck them off. They’re past the green stage but not completely yellow.

Bad fungus or normal?

This will be my second aerogarden planting. I attempted to completely sanitize the basin, but I’m worried now that I might not have done a good enough job. My new basil plant (old seeds from the original purchase a year ago) is sprouting and I think looks healthy so far after 2 weeks, but there’s some fluffy white stuff around the base of the stem.

Should I be worried about this? If so is there a solution for this plant, or should I restart while it’s still early and do a more thorough job sanitizing?

Tiny Tim and Pot-o-gold micro tomatoes

I have tomatoes growing well in my aero garden harvest. This is my first time using it. I just bought pots and grow lights to transfer them. Anyone growing in soil after sprouting in their aero garden? Any tips?

Newbie question

I’m thinking of getting an aerogarden but had a question about gnat problems. If use the seed pods and grow from seeds and use mosquito bits in the water from the very beginning along with the yellow sticky traps would that virtually eliminate the possibility of gnats? The reason I ask is because I’ve battled fruit flies inside and never want to deal with them or anything like that again. I was thinking of keeping the garden in my garage to isolate it from the rest of the house.
