AeroGarden How to Change, Set, and Reset Your Light Timer

Page 11

Personalize Your Light Timer (optional)

Your AeroGarden 6 Elite+ 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 plant type you selected.

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

*The exceptions to this are Flower & Vegetable 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 setting 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:

Decide what time you want the lights to go OFF.

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

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

Release the button.

When blinking stops (about 9 seconds), the lights will go off and your lights are now set to go off at this time every day.

You can reset your timer as often as you want.

In case of power failure, your AeroGarden 6 Elite+ has a backup system that stores light, nutrient & replace bulbs timers as well as plant selection settings. When power is restored, your AeroGarden will go back to the Off-On cycle you have set.
