Add Nutrient(s)

Add Nutrient(s)

Every 2 weeks you will need to add one (1) nutrient tablet (3-Pod AeroGardens) or two (2) nutrient

tablets (6- or 7-Pod AeroGardens) to the Bowl.

For instructions, see “Add Nutrients” (Feed Garden S- Basic Feeding) in the Control Panel Features section of

your Quick Start Guide.

igns of Stress

Overnourished

If tips of leaves are brown,

your plant is probably getting too many nutri-

ents.. At next feeding, you may decrease tablet size or just use 1/2 a tablet (3-Pod AeroGardens), or

1 tablet (6- and 7-Pod AeroGardens).. Look for signs of improvement on new plant growth..

NOTE: If browning is severe, you may need to empty all water from Bowl, put in fresh water, and add nutrient tablet(s). If you do this, remember to reset Nutrient Timer.. See “Replanting Your AeroGarden” in Quick Start Guide for reset instructions.

Undernourished

Undernourished plants become yellow.. If increased yellowing is noticed over time, you may want to add an extra 1/2 tablet, whole tablet or increase tablet size at next feeding..

Signs of improvement will mainly be apparent on new growth.. Plants will need time to absorb additional nutri- ents, so please be patient..
