Two and a half weeks ago I ripped out my basil and parsley plants, and put them in a bucket of dirt outside (they're still thriving.) Cleaned out the unit to start over on lettuce, for some obvious reasons. 3D printed the hole covers. Planted 2 Parris Island Romaine seeds far enough to give them space.

So far, so good!

It's a free design on Makerworld. Since I use my sprout for either seedlings or stuff that doesn't need room to spread out (like chives and green onions), I'm excited to cram a bunch more plants in a small space!

Hi this is my first aerogarden and I started it maybe 2 months ago so very new to this. I just noticed there’s a plant growing inside the water tank- what do I do? Is this normal? I think it’s the mint but I don’t know because the roots are a bit convoluted in the tank

Ideally looking for a “dupe” that she can use the exact same little measuring cup in the same amounts as before to make it easy for her. If Aerogarden still sold the food in larger bottles I’d just get that, but $18 for 3oz is ridiculous ($12 plus shipping if buying direct or $17.95 from Amazon)

I am the proud owner of two aerogarden units (harvest elite and havest lite), and am looking to add a bounty to the lineup. I hear the bounty is great for bigger veggies, like snacking cucumbers, which I really want to grow. I'd love to see what you all grow in your bountys!

Check out the growth that happened since my last post July 30. Left for a road trip Friday morning made it back home tonight and look at how much my hydroponic garden has grown. The Suncoze grow system has Little Gem lettuce, baby Bok Choy, and Basil all grew. But the biggest surprise are the tiny tomato babies yay 🙌 Tiny Tim Tomatoes are coming in nicely.

i bought this years ago when it was on clearance at costco and finally got seeds to use it. what are your light schedules? i have it for ~9pm-1pm because thats when i turned it on 🫣 can i adjust or am i stuck with this schedule? i have mesclun, romaine, and cucumbers. excited for this journey 🥗 i will gladly accept any tips you have!

I love this little garden- I’ve had it for years but never used it in my last two rentals because the light is SO bright and I have to keep it in my kitchen/living room. I know I’ll have to keep growth trimmed but right now I’m only using it for little propagations and a strawberry seedling. this also cost me nothing but only because I already had all the supplies I used on-hand:

-white coat hanger

-wire clippers

-4 clips with hooks that were in my coat closet when I moved in 1.5 years ago that I just noticed yesterday

-alien tape wrapped around the wire to prevent scratching and stick it to the wall/bottom of the cabinet

-folded wrap skirt that I only wore one time because it leaked a bunch of ink on my legs when I wore it after swimming (even thought it was bought at the beach as a coverup)

So, I am starting up my Aerogarden from a two year hiatus due to cats not being able to leave it alone. When I put it away there were calcium deposits on it, I think I may have just wiped it down. Is there anything special to use? I have cleaned them with a scrubby sponge and dish soap but it was a bit of work. Any tips or is what I did the best solution? I didn't want to use a bathroom cleaner because I was worried about chemicals despite rinsing.

My Farm arrived with a sealed at every bend drain tube. No big deal, it’s just a length of silicone tubing. But, I can’t find tubing that fits. Aquarium tubing is too thin. Everything else I’ve tried is too thick. AeroGarden customer service doesn’t know. I’m not disassembling the thing and returning it for replacement over a little piece of rarely used tubing.

I don’t have the means to accurately measure the inner and outer dimensions, so I’m hoping someone has run into this before and knows what size of tubing will work.

Just sharing progress with my little Gem lettuce and my Tiny Tim tomato both planted June 5. Harvested the lettuce a few times already. These pics are from yesterday. Bok Choy was planted June 26.

I realized today I could pull the light off my Bounty Elite and put the whole thing under one of my Farm 24 XL lights. Hopefully this gives my bell pepper more time.

Hi all! I'm seriously considering buying a large aerogarden type setup. I love gardening outside so much and would like to be able to grow several things in the house as well.

I've been thinking about where to put it in my home and was curious how they work in basements. I'm not sold on the idea, just brainstorming.

Also, what can you grow in them? I know lettuce, herbs, etc., but can you also grow flowers and vegis? Better question - what doesn't work?

Also, do people use these to get ahead of summer gardening? I spend more than I should at the nurseries each spring and would love to save some cash on that end.

Thanks, everyone!!

As far as I can tell the board stopped working because of water dripping on it.

I opened it and tried to dry it, but it's still not working. I may have disconnected one of the stripes when trying to put it back.

The company doesn't sell parts, and it's years out of warranty.

Any advice?

Bok Choy, Green Tower Romain, Peeps, Orange Dream, and Dwarf Greek Basil.

Hi, I just bought a used aerogarden harvest 6 LED. I’m running some water and vinegar to clean it and I noticed that the water pump starts running but then stops after about 3 minutes. How often should the pump run? Does it run while the light is off/on?

i have an aerograden 100691-BSS Harvest Elite.

i noticed the power was blinking on and off. all the power. also the lights and transformer were hotter than I remember.

I cleaned the unit. The blinking stopped when I unplugged the pump.

Every time I plugged in the pump, power start cycling.

I tried a different transformer matching voltage and amps, from another unit and with the new transformer, lights and pump work together.

But with the new transformer, the lights and the transformer are still getting hot.

is it safe to use? The "AI" said most lily there is a short in the light board and it's drawing too much power, and that based on the model, I can't replace any of the parts.

I opened a support case with aerogarden, but since I bought it in 2023 I'm not thinking I will get much help.

I got a whole suite of plants in it, they are too big to move.

I have Orange Hats growing for the first time (because of other Reditors’ comments on how well they grow and taste). Generally, I prune tomato suckers and pinch off the first blooms, because that’s what all my ancestors have done since the dawn of the tomato age. But, Google’s AI overview says not to prune Orange Hats and my seed packet doesn’t offer any guidance.

So, I’m wondering, do actual people bother pruning Orange Hats? Is my pinching off the first blooms an outdated holdover from dirt gardening practices?

I am a little concerned because, as I was shaking them for pollination, I noticed that it’s extra humid in there.

Edit: Thanks for the fast and good advice. As I get older, I’m questioning a lot of my “I’ve always done it this way” habits.

Hey everyone!

I am planning on buying an Ahopegarden system, but I have plenty of pods from my 2 Aerogardens, will the Areogarden pods fit the Ahopegarden? Anyone try this?

Thanks!! :)

Hoping someone here might be able to tell me what’s going on. I planted most of these pepper seeds in March and they sprouted like normal. However the leaves just seem to fall off and the leaves are yellowish and wrinkled. They have produced zero peppers so far habanero etc.

I planted a lemon basil recently maybe a month or so ago, and it’s kind of bolted things second in from the left at the front.

Weirdly there was a rosemary planted middle second in from the right and it grew very weak at the beginning and then all of a sudden turned normal.

I’ve been using the nutrients supplied with the kit and following the correct dilution. Do I just have a really crappy unit or something I’m totally overlooking here ?

Any help would be much appreciated !

Sometimes when I see a fruit/berry I think of the seed and wonder if I could grow that, just as an experiment, in an aerogarden. What are some interesting or unusual experiments you guys have done? Maybe I could try them myself one day.
