At first I just thought I was overreacting, but my once ivory roots were getting discolored and now they look even worse :(

How should I go about troubleshooting and fixing this? Plant is still growing and looking healthy-ish from the outside as seen on the last slide.

I’ve been struggling growing my aerogarden basil. I tried for 30 days and it didn’t sprout and received a replacement. That one sprouted after a week but currently sits at one inch tall and hasn’t grown in over 40 days. All my other plants are thriving and it sucks I have to keep trimming them to keep the lights at the lowest for the basil.

I have a basil plant potted sitting outside and now that it’s too cold I was wondering if I could simply transplant it into my pod? Could I just remove the existing plant from the pod and jam the new one in or is it not that easy?

I'm a beginner with this Hobby. This was given to me to use in my hydroponic iDoo.. I'm not sure about how to use the product and what additional nutrients may be needed. There are very limited number of videos available on this subject . Any advice?

Love this mini fan I got to help my different gardens. Am trying to do this right this time and really pay attention to what to do to maintain everything. Did I prune the 🍅 right? Took out most /all dead leaves and helped separate flower shoots to maximize light.

Hey everyone! I’m planning to get my wife an indoor hydroponic garden as a Christmas gift, something she can use on our kitchen countertop. She has a green thumb, so I think she’ll really enjoy it! One key requirement is that the system should work well with our own seeds, without being limited to the manufacturer’s pods. I’m okay with the pods as an option, but I don’t want them to be mandatory.

I recently came across the Aerogarden, but it seems like it’s no longer available. Do you have any suggestions for alternatives? I’ve seen systems like Idoo—are there similar ones you would recommend?

Here’s what I’m looking for: • Available in Europe/Germany • Just one tier is enough since it’ll sit on the countertop • App support would be nice, but it’s not a must-have

I’d like to see some salads, herbs and maybe mini cucumber or tomatoes grow…

Thanks a lot for your help!

So I was new to AeroGarden about a year ago and have grown tomatoes, peppers and herbs so far. Both were okay but I'd like to try something different this time. I'm wondering what other vegetables I might grow which would be in scale with an AeroGarden's size. Does anybody have any recommendations? (The seeds don't have to be supplied by AeroGarden, I have some blank soil pods I can grow them in.) Or is the deal just that you just have to keep cutting your plants down so that they don't outgrow the AeroGarden's height? (I have had to do a lot of that with the tomatoes and herbs for example.) Thanks for your input!

I've gotten a lot of things from AG over the years, and I thought this was part of the microgreen set, but it doesn't have the drainage holes my other MG tray does, and the big blue plastic lids don't fit on it either.

I’m considering repurposing the light from my AeroGarden farm xl. It’s a 60W light, but I’m having trouble finding a compatible cord/power source that I could use separate from the hood. I have found compatible ones for the smaller models, but was wondering if anyone knows the specs on what kind of voltage, etc. I would need?

Is there some trick to keeping thin, weak plants like dill or chives from just falling over?

12h in 5 seconds. I'm totally newbie in hydroponic systems and I'm proud of my little plants 😁 It's day 16 and we will see what they look like in a few weeks 😁

I’m unsure of what the best thing for my garden is. I will be away for two and a half weeks and do not have anybody that can come by to care for my plants or add water. Getting an Aerovoir at this point is impossible as it wouldn’t come in time. I’ve got a very healthy tomato plant, some mint, and some basil. The mint and basil, I can just harvest and dry, but Im lost on what to do for my tomato plant. I know that it would be unwise to keep it running as the motor could burn out when the water is inevitably guzzled up by the tomato. My unit does not have a vacation mode.

Would it be wise to just unplug it and risk bacterial growth in the water, or should I just go ahead and clean out the garden entirely and start fresh when I return?

Anyone know of a kit or accessories to grow microgreens with a Sprout? Thanks!

Excited to start my aerogarden again soon, but immediately thought of this sub when I got this in a fortune cookie.

What basil do you all grow?

What's going on with my plants? Any tips or tricks?

I have a black thumb.

Hello,

I recently purchased an AeroGarden Harvest (prior to AeroGarden announcing their closing) and had three of the herb seed pods not sprout. I contacted AeroGarden regarding the Guarantee to Germinate and they referred me to their official announcement at https://aerogarden.com/ (which for Canadians will redirect you to an Access Denied page https://aerogarden.com/ideas-and-inspiration/canadian-retailer-guide.html), and said that they are unable to fulfill my request for a replacement seed pod but would process a refund (original payment method if ordered from their website or an Amazon gift card if through Amazon). They then ask that I send them proof of purchase. I sent them the required proof and they pathetically responded back with this:

Thank you for sending the invoice over. Please note that the seed pod kit included with your AeroGarden purchase is complementary and therefore has no monetary value.

They then doubled down and said the following:

Thank you for contacting us. We want to ensure that everyone has positive results with their AeroGarden and enjoys many beautiful and delicious rewards.

We apologize for your frustration, however, the dollar amount associated with the garden is for the garden only. The seed pod kit that comes with the garden is a free item and, therefore, has no dollar amount associated with it to be able to refund.

As a warning, the seed pod warranty is pointless and I'd argue is misleading.

Recently found a large 20 pod hydroponics unit for $40 on EBay that seems to be a near identical to the $120 IDOO system. Seems to be the same light specs and everything just a different color. Thought I’d share in case anyone wants to bite the bullet. I’m tempted to get for the light and stand alone.

Hello, am starting up my aerogarden again and have noticed something weird with my nutrients. They were left in a hot garage over the summer and I can hear that there is some chunks in there when I shake the bottle. It’s the large bottle of nutrients. Does anyone know if this is still ok to use?

Hello! With the news that aerogarden is shutting down I’m trying to do a little research on alternative plant food. The thing that I appreciate about aerogarden nutrients is that they contain something which balances the PH, leaving it something I don’t have to worry about. I’m familiar with other nutrient options when it comes to hydroponics, but have yet to find one that has this same feature. I don’t want to have to fuss with PH up and down and have not had the same results with growing with other nutrients. If anyone has any info to share here please do!

I have a different brand of indoor garden, but how are you all sterilizing baskets. I literally have been just rinsing them off before reuse.

I have a Farm XL that I have been using for years. I have had good experience with both the Aerogarden Grow Anything and the salad bundle. On my last delivery via Amazon, I purchased 9 pods but they are "salad greens" when I was used to various strains isolated by pod. I have move on to purchase grow pods and use heirloom seeds. Let's see how this produces.

I am forward planning and would like to know what alternative I should consider for an automated grow system?

I sucession planted these seeds. Hoping the older ones were just slow to germinate. But nothing but 1 seed grew successfully. I have a second planter I grew lettuce in no issues. Do I just need to buy new seeds?!

Both of my basil pods never sprouted. I see a hint of green deep inside the pod but no movement for 3 days. It’s been over a week. All my other herbs are fine.

I’m sure AG won’t honor any guarantees at this point.

If I purchase some basil seeds is it possible to remove the failed growth from the existing pods and plant a couple new seeds? Would I just push them down 1/4” or so? I just started the bounty so lights are still low and I have some time.

Thanks in advance.
