Personalize Your Light Timer (optional)

Your AeroGarden has lights and a built-in timer that automatically provide plants with the optimal amount of “sunlight” (about 16 hours) and “night” (about 8 hours), depending on the plant type selected in the previous section.

As long as plants get this amount of light, it does not matter when the lights are turned off.* Many people find it con- venient to have the lights go on in the morning and off at night to match their own wake and sleep schedule.

*The exceptions to this are Flower, Tomato & Pepper plants. They require a daily dark period in order to produce flowers. If your plants will receive any room light during the day (natural or artificial), we recommend that you set your AeroGarden lights to be on during the day.

5 Simple Steps...

In order to make this as simple as possible, you only need to set the time you want your AeroGarden

lights to go off (Off Time), and your built-in light timer automatically sets the On Time...nothing more for you to do.

Do the following to set the time you want your lights to go off:

1Decide what time of day you want the lights to go OFF.

2AT THAT TIME check that lights are on. If they are off, quickly press “Lights” button and immediately release. (Lights must be on in order to reset timer.)

3With lights on, press and hold “Lights” button until the green light next to the plant type you selected starts blinking – about 5 seconds.

4Release the button.

5When blinking stops (about 9 seconds), the lights will go off.

Your lights are now set to go off at this time every day.
