I'm asking about the green slimy stuff (algae?) that collected on the inside rims and also on the top of the growing pods, not about the fertilizer which dribbled and I didn't clean... I scrubbed the tank and am letting this piece soak in a weak bleach solution for a bit before trying again (half of the seeds didn't sprout). Appreciate any suggestions on how to keep this from happening again, please!
sos send help. I blinked and it had flowers. I blinked again and it grew twice as big. soon it'll take over my kitchen. there is no stopping it.
I got my wife an AeroGarden Bounty Basic as an early Mother's Day present. We just set it up and we're so excited!
What do you all think about our choice of plants and how we placed them in the rack? I know the sunflower is a bad idea, but my 4 year old really wanted to put one in.
Also, if you have any tips, I would live to hear them!

hey fellow gardeners!
need help on how often i should be feeding my pepper plants. my plants are about 6 weeks old now, 1.5 feet high, lots of flower buds but no peppers yet.
i'm a bit new to this so i have just been following the instructions on the back of the aerogarden liquid plant food bottle. 6 plants = two capfuls every two weeks. plants are also sucking tons of water at this point. so topping up every couple of days.
if i stick to this, a few days after adding food the plants become droopy and i start getting leaf roll. if i add food (9 - 10 days before i'm supposed to based on the instructions on the bottle) by the next morning everything looks healthy again.
so it seems the two capfuls every two weeks is not nearly enough feeding at this point for my plants.
looking for advice on how often i should be feeding pepper plants at this maturity stage.
thanks all!
Newbie. Harvested a ton of Basil this morning and trimmed 2 stalks down short. Both have new growth/leaves coming out from nodes thats why I chopped short. Now its leaking....
Assuming this is normal because it's pushing water to where it once needed? And did I cut too short or will this baby start thriving again?
I’m in Canada and haven’t seen the tray come back on Amazon in months so I’m losing faith that it ever will. I’m not in a big rush to get it 3d printed since we’re too late for this growing season but if someone happens across this post and has some kind of plan for how to print one then please let me know.
I have had some beginner's luck with a tier of lettuces growing like crazy and we have harvested 7 or 8 times. This tier is tomatoes and peppers - 6 tomato and 3 peppers - most are flowering. My top tear is empty - should I move some of the tomatoes / peppers or is it too late?
I am looking to see what others have successfully done with strawberry runners.
I would prefer not to trim them if possible, but idk where to proceed from here with the aerogarden.
I currently have 3 runners 😱
I just recently trimmed the roots, did a water change, and of course added nutrients to my lettuce, basil, and parsley.
I'm curious to know: how long should you wait before harvesting any of the plants after trimming the roots? My roots were in really good shape, so there were no problems there.
[EDIT} Hoya bella outer variegated.
Started as a 2 leaf, short stem cutting December 3. The first picture shows it in the rightmost Aerogarden near the center as that cutting. I have trimmed it several times but it just wants to grow and bloom more or less continuously. I don't know what I am doing right but it is working! Last time I tried to count active peduncles I reached 30 before I gave up. I am hoping it continues to bloom furiously.
Steam Distilled water, GH Hydro Series (half dose), and Continuum. Pump on 24/7. Lights on 4 AM to 7:30 PM. Infrequent light spray with, of all things, Orchid Spray, basically to knock the dust off the leaves.
In the first picture, I have isolated the Hoya kerrii outer variegated and treated it for Flat Mites. It will take some time before I pronounce it pest free. I have prophylactically treated all of my Hoya with Alcohol. I also have a pesticide for flat mites that I will try out, as needed, beyond the H. kerrii.
The app takes forever to load, only to re-display the Connect to Wi-Fi screen again. Anybody else running into this problem? Won't let me pair to my iphone/ the app without it :(
Recently the app won’t let me log in. Is it just down or being sunsetted?
My first cucumber in aerogarden. New leaves are all ok, but old leaves look like this. What is it and how to fix it? Thanks!
Hi everyone! I’m a Product Design grad student, and I’m also a hydroponics enthusiast (the photo is what I’m growing right now).
For my Master’s thesis, I’m researching common challenges with commercial hydroponic gardens and looking for ways to improve them. I’ve put together a quick Google Forms survey (it takes about one minute) to collect data on grower experiences. The survey is completely anonymous.
Your feedback will be a huge help in making sure my final design addresses the actual needs of the community. I'm happy to answer any questions about my setup or my research in the comments.
Got this alert today and just had to say thank you to everyone!
You all are amazing and I’m so grateful to have THOUSANDS of awesome people here that are so eager to help and support one another.
Happy Growing ☺️
I've had this guy for a while but it was stored away and I'd like to start using it again! Are there any starter pods that someone can point me in the direction of? Thank you!
took the tray out to prune my basil and met this monster, it’s completely solid and i’ve been gently picking it apart trying to discern who’s roots are who’s (there are 4 pods involved) but im not sure if there’s a better way to handle this. Also, as i got closer to the center i noticed darker roots and am not sure if im dealing with root rot? The dill in this garden rotted completely and the basil roots are not slimy and soft like those so i’m not sure. anyways, im open to all advice i do not want my basil to die😭.
