AeroGarden 507140-0000 AD manual Tending Your Seedlings, Add Water, Add Nutrients

Tending Your Seedlings

Add Water

There should always be water in the Bowl of your AeroGarden. Using a spouted container, pour water into front of Bowl where “Fill To Here” is indicated. Always add water when “Water Low” light illuminates.

•Use room-temperature water. Very hot or very cold water will hurt your plants.

!• We recommend using municipal tap, bottled or purified water. Well or softened water SHOULD NOT be used because the extra minerals in these sources may be harmful to aeroponically grown plants.

Add Nutrients

For the first 2 weeks of growth, seedlings will derive all necessary nutrients from the Grow Sponge. After 2 weeks, you will need to add nutrient tablets.

Every two weeks, “Add Nutrient” and “Water Level Low” lights will blink. At that time:

1	Unplug AeroGarden.
2	Remove Bowl from Base and bring it to a sink.
3	Remove Tray from Bowl and place on a counter that
	can get wet.
4	Empty contents of Bowl into sink and rinse Bowl. (Use
	water only.)
5	Fill Bowl with room-temperature water up to “Fill to
	Here” and set Bowl on counter.
6	Place Tray back on Bowl arranging roots over Cross
	Beams (if present).
7	Carefully replace Bowl on Base and plug in Garden.
8	First Feeding–two weeks after seeding
	Add 2 nutrient tablets from “Starting Nutrients” bag,
	reseal bag and press “Reset” button.

All Other Feedings

Add 2 nutrient tablets from “Growing Nutrients” bag, reseal bag and press “Reset” button.
