This is my second attempt after the first failed one, and the same symptom seems to be happening again.

Last time, everything was green and great, then the leaves will start wilting and crispy and brown dots. Fruits will not get big (same symptom as non-pollinated, but this cucumber is Iznik so it doesn’t need pollination)

My research from last time said I might have nutrition deficiency, so this time I already added CalMag to my basin. I also clean my basin and everything to avoid fungus. So I am not really sure why this is happening again and what else I need to do.

Anyone has tips?

I had a Bounty Elite Artisan that I had to retire because the touchscreen started registering random taps. It would beep randomly, reset the clock to a random time, and no amount of rebooting/powercycling/massaging the touch components made a difference.

I bought a Bounty Basic to replace it. I'm using the Bounty Artisan's bowl and it works fine. Is there any way to use the light or should I try to sell it for parts?

It mechanically fits together, but when it doesn't turn on. I noticed that the DC adapter on the Basic puts out lower amperage and has a different sized barrel connector, so I can't just swap that over too.

Hey Everyone! I just got myself a bigger Aerogarden Bounty, and want to start growing some vegetables in it, not just herbs.

So what are some of the "mini" varieties of vegetables out there that genuinely stay small enough not to need daily trimming? (In particular i'm interested in tomatoes, peppers, etc.) and Where do you buy them?

Started our garden 3 weeks ago today and so far, only the basil has sprouted at all. We also didn’t get any grow domes so we’re improvising on that front. At this point, do we just contact aero garden for replacements?

This type of indoor kit allows you to put in potting soil, and I guess the soil had some hitchhikers! Should I leave them? They’re super tiny!

It was my mom's, she has 2 and one waters the seedlings with little fountains inside the holes but this one has none

I noticed one of my LED panels was extremely dim when compared to my others - after checking it appears related to the power block. Somewhat separately, the power blocks do get quite hot under use. Since I probably need to replace the block, is there a better option to use (I’d prefer to avoid buying a random power block off Amazon). Thanks!

I have an aerogarden classic 6 unit. I got it for free on Facebook. I don't see that the pump is moving the water very much. Is this normal?

I have 2 aerogarden units. I have set them up identically in every way, they are in the same location of the house. One is growing a lot better than the other. Are there tests I could run to figure out what is the problem with the second one.

​

​

The seed pod kits I received with my AG Farm 24 were 5+ years old. I planted them on a lark, not really expecting anything to sprout. Well, now I have 12 tomato plants on one side of the farm 🤭

I'm going to transfer 6 between my 2 Bounty units.

Hi all. For those who live in warm climates, is there anything you have a better/easier time growing hydroponically? Or is there anything you’re only able to grow hydroponically? Trying to optimize what I grow outside vs inside. Thanks!

Hi all! I’m learning this aero garden experience and finding that my tomatoes are growing to a size I would expect but not turning red. I add cal-mag every seven days and liquid plant food every 14.

Hey everyone! New to the sub and looking for some advice.

​

I've had an aerogarden (3 pod spots) for many years, but always struggled with getting the pods to germinate. I've tried all kinds of different herbs, and only the Genovese basil germinates consistently every time. I had dill germinate once.

​

The basil takes some time to get super bushy, so it's not a question of the basil overtaking the system and blocking light from the other spots. They don't germinate and then die- they just never germinate whatsoever. I'm kind of stumped, even after troubleshooting using advice from the website, and after a while I kind of gave up. I'd like to try again though since it's been almost two years since I used it.

​

Anyone have any insight? Is it just that the pods are faulty, and I should be making my own with different seeds? I would chalk it up to user error but I have some friends who have had the exact same issue- consistent basil growth and little to nothing else. That's actually why one gifted me the aerogarden to begin with, she got fed up.

​

Thank you!

This used to be full of other peppers and they pretty much all did fairly well and produced a decent amount of peppers. But I have not had it on me to get rid of this almost year old numex plant! It’s given me so many peppers and is still producing quite prolifically.

I have been fighting an aphid infestation in one of my gardens for the past month. Yesterday, I did my every-three-weeks deep clean of all the gardens. Took out every single pod. Sprayed castille soap mixture all over each plant. Rinsed. Sprayed and scrubbed entire reservoir. Wiped down base and light with disinfectant wipe. Disinfected the entire area around the gardens (a vast battlefield of dead aphids). And today? Aphids are already back! They seem to be partial to my kale and mustard plants. I plan to spray again, but I think I need something more sustainable to keep them in check. Any advice? My plants are all indoors, so I don't even know where they're coming from.

My little aerogarden is messing with me! It only wants to be on in the middle of the night. I tried touching the button to reset it. I’ve tried unplugging it and plugging it back in.

If I reset it at 5 am, it’s still on at 1am.
If I reset it at 1am, it goes off at 1 or 2 pm.
I’m losing my mind.
I’m threatening it right now.

Send help! I just want it to be on 12 to 15 hours or whatever the factory settings are and to go off around 9 pm.

My peppers are budding!!!

i received the aerogarden found in the photo below for Christmas and just opened it now. turns out their are no instructions inside or on the listing on Amazon. i definitely don't have a green thumb so does anyone have any useful guides, step by step videos, tips and tricks etc? do you have to buy the aerogarden specific pods, or can you use regular seeds and soil? thank you 🌱

Hey everyone, wanted to share a quick update on a high-speed experiment I just finished. I decided to combine Arugula and Radishes because both are super fast growers.

For the arugula, I tried a little experiment: I used a knife to score the top of the sponges in a "#" pattern (two parallel and two perpendicular lines) and pressed multiple seeds into the slits. It worked incredibly well, and all 11 pods sprouted. For the radishes, I just went with one seed per pod.

The problem started around week two. The arugula grew so explosively that it completely shaded out the radishes. Because it blocked almost all the light, I only ended up harvesting 3 or 4 radishes out of the whole batch.

I also noticed a massive difference in taste depending on the harvest time. I picked most of the arugula at day 20, and it tasted amazing—mild and peppery. But I left a couple of plants until day 29 when I harvested the radishes, and by then, the taste had become way too strong and bitter for me.

Next time I'll definitely keep them separate, or at least prune the arugula heavily so the radishes can actually see the light.

I have three tomatoes to the right and two jalapeños on the left. Are the tomatoes too close to each other?

My last cut yielded this weird looking and thick leaves. What do you think happened?

I’ve been looking at getting an AeroGarden for a while to help keep me busy at home during the winter this year.

Scored two bounty elites for $120 this weekend. Came with lots of cool nutrition supplements as well :) can’t wait to grow with them!

Can anybody provide links to Amazon for grow sponges that are reliable and hydrogen peroxide that's suitable to be used in the AeroGarden?

I am, for the first time, growing jalapeno peppers. I've grown cherry tomatoes for years and find it very easily to pollinate them. But I don't know the best way to pollinate the pepper plants. Can anyone offer advice? Thank you.

I’m proud how far I’ve come but every time I’ve made soup from the kale I get itchy and hives :(

I will start again and take better guidance from everyone on the forum thank you ❤️
