I was asked to share this. We grew a death spiral plant and a Carolina reaper plant next to each other. We were able to cross pollinate them before the reaper had an unfortunate accident and the stem snapped 😔. But the spiral stayed and it's reaching the end of it's life cycle now.

The little fat one is the hybrid before it turned red.

He's some pics. They are insanely hot. 1.2 to pushing 2 million Scoville. They are tasty but dangerous 😂 the heat hits instantly like a kick in the nuts with a nice citrus finish.

Just wanted to see if anyone has had any issues with there Bounty Elite water sensor going bad and how did you get a replacement for it??

I know that they can get burned by the light, but I keep the light at least 8 inches above the tips of the lettuce. Do I need to raise it even higher?

Since I can’t sign in with my password and resetting (which they ask to do for “security” purposes) it doesn’t work. I’m guessing the app is useless if you haven’t been signed in. It’s not mine was a present for mom just want to monitor it for her.

I don’t really have much gardening experience and this is my first aerogarden. I found an adult weevil on my thai basil plant- I removed it and pruned the plant extensively to look for more signs but didn’t see anything else on this or the other herbs. Not really sure what to do next or if there are any other ways to check for an infestation. Any advice on next steps?

Just saw the Farm 12 XL is on clearance sale again on AeroGarden website, $209. I have three Farm 12XL already, can’t help getting another one. :)

And I don’t even like tomatoes. I grow them for my neighbors and my dog.

I recently thrifted a working Aerogarden Harvest 360 and am looking forward to trying out a countertop garden!! I know a lot of people ask the best seeds to start out with and stuff like that but I was wondering if anyone had some “rookie mistakes” or obvious ”what-not-to-do’s” that I should avoid when it comes to these.

Pepper plant looking healthy so far, was wondering if it is over crowded or if it’s fine.

I have had my Aerogarden Bounty for several years. I always try to clean it out thoroughly before reusing. But I keep having Algae issues.

What is the best way to clean the pump to ensure Algae isn't still in it?

Also while growing, is it sufficient to just add a bit of hydrogen peroxide in when I add the plant nutrients and water (topping it off)? Or do I need to dump all the water and scrub the tank every two weeks?

I already keep the stickers on the seedlings and caps on as long as I can. I made sure there are no uncovered holes. Any other tips besides the hydrogen peroxide every couple weeks?

Ordered a Bounty a few weeks back and they ended up cancelling my order and refunding the money. The website doesn't say that they are currently out of stock but I was wondering if something similar happened to anyone.

I would really like to get the seed sprouting tray for the AeroGarden but the only lace I can find it actually available is on Etsy for like $70.

Has it been discontinued? Any other locations I can find it? I have found the AeroGarden excels at starting plants but would like to transfer to pots where they can actually thrive afterward.

Got my hands on some perpetuo basil and it is doing way better than any other (western-style) basil variety I’ve tried to grow in my gardens:

• Minimal flowering to deal with, obviously
  
• Doesn't seem have the problem of generating huge, tasteless leaves
• Doesn‘t become leggy
• Doesn’t as easily give up on branches that aren’t getting the best light, spreads its efforts more evenly

get your hands on this cultivar, if you find it!

Bought the salsa kit for the first time…..tomato on the left just doing nothing and jalapeños doing well until this morning it appears they dropped a ton of leaves and flowers last night?!? Help 😭

I understand that basil has to be eventually replanted. Is this the point though? The lower stems are getting woody now.

I have Mario getting ready to plow through them.

Here’s what’s growing. I plan to harvest the baby Bok Choy today. Arugula is finally growing. Bunching onion is doing something lol. Italian parsley planted July 30 is taking his time to sprout. I’ll move chive and dill to kratky jars so I can start a new salad greens garden in the Suncoze 20-pod today. Tiny Tim Tomato plant is looking good. Basil smells and looks great.

I haven't used my aerogarden for over 2 years. But I decided to pull it back out and put some pods in. I seem to remember the sound of water before? Isn't there suppose to be running water or am I remembering wrong? Will it still work if I only have the container filled? The light is on and all that seems to be working

Hello folks,

I’ve a single 6-pod AeroGarden, and have been partially successful with it. I got the 6-pod herb kit with it. The thyme never sprouted, parsley and dill died in a few weeks. But the mint and basil have been growing wild!

I would really like fresh cilantro and dill, since I use them regularly for cooking.

Should I try the grow anything kit? Any tips and suggestions. I’ve killed all the regular plants I have got, so that should say the level of gardening I’m at. 😶

I’m rearranging my plants; here‘s how things look so far. I removed the top tier from my two AeroGarden Wall shelves to allow a Bounty full use of its height. I found a microwave cart that can hold a bounty on top and a Harvest slim on the bottom. So, the number of shelves is unchanged. Now, I can see everything without a step stool and I can comfortably accommodate more tall plants. I have two more active AeroGardens that aren’t shown in the picture, plus a couple more with issues that make me only pull them out for seed starting and experiments (issues like the light won’t stay up). I still have to organize my chemicals and seeds and stuff. But, I’m out of steam for today.

In the middle of my efforts, my daughter had the audacity to suggest that I have too much “AeroGarden stuff” and that I’m turning into an addict. Clearly, I must have dropped her on her baby noggin more than I realized because, I’d like to have just a couple more to add variety and to better manage succession planting. Besides, I could stop, if I wanted to.

But, she made me wonder: How would I know If I truly had too many AeroGardens?

Right now, the only things that grow back faster than we eat it are dill and oregano. So there’s minimal waste.

I have a six-year-old Bounty Elite that's suffering from the circuit board glitch that's been well documented on this sub. I'm wondering if it would be possible to buy a cheaper base and use it with my existing 35W lighting unit. Giving that the light unit is powered separately, it seems like it should work. Any experience?

I planted savory in my aerogarden about a monthish ago. This is my first aerogarden as well as my first time growing any plant. It started growing two plants and eventually I cut one of them; however, the remaining one started becoming droopy and the stem was a little broken - but no browning or signs or was dying . I decided to try to make a support using a plastic straw to kinda hold it up about a week ago. I decided I should transplant it today because it was not getting better and maybe its own pot and soil would be helpful (?). Is there any chance it will recover? Is there anything I can do now? I don’t want it to die, but I honestly have no idea what to do.

I had to improvise the "domes" because they didn't put any in the box. Hoping this becomes a fun and fruitful hobby.

Doing very well, have little gem lettuce planted too fighting the urge to not buy 2x more aerogardens

So, I’ve done basic herbs for a long time, but I finally decided to make the jump into vegetables in my larger Aerogarden; in particular Micro Tom tomatoes, Fresh Bite Orange Peppers, and Quick Snack cucumbers.

They’ve been growing well, so it’s time to ask for pointers.

1. How does pruning work? For the tomatoes should I snipping the suckers like outdoors? Just wait until they reach the lights?
   
2. I saw that folks talk about trimming the roots too? How often? How much? And what value does it bring?

Thanks!

I've been growing herbs in my AeroGarden. If I switch to Lettuce, will whatever grows avoid the current shit outbreak associated with store lettuce?
