r/aerogarden

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.

I planted snapdragons about 2 weeks ago in the hopes of having a bit of lovely color through the winter. The seeds were like grains of sand so I probably dropped too many of them at once. Should I cull the growth?

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?

I tried doing the research, following another persons comment from an old reddit post to get some adapters to start using LEDs in my old, secondhand Aerogarden. So, I bought these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017X12AQK

But I just got them and put them into the sockets and I think the plastic tabs on the end are the wrong size, much bigger than the originals, so it won't lock in. The lights will turn on for half a second and then stop, hanging there partially out of the socket, as shown in pic 5. Pic 2 shows the difference in the old one on top and and new one on bottom.

Does anyone have a link to a product that will actually work to replace the old halogen bulbs in my aerogarden?
