Tending Your Garden

A little bit of care for your Garden will ensure rapid growth and healthy plants. This section provides some

Rgeneral guidelines to follow as your Garden grows..

emove Domes

•Shortly after planting Seeds in your garden (4 days to 2 weeks), tiny plants will appear through the hole in each Grow Pod Label..

When this occurs, remove Domes from each Grow Pod and save for your next Garden.. Do not remove Label..

•Only remove Domes from Grow Pods with emerging plants..

•When a Cutting’s roots begin to extend from the Grow Sponge, remove plastic bag or container that is covering plant..

•To reduce plant stress, we recommend removing Domes or Cutting Cover shortly after light(s) turn off or near the end of the light cycle..

Don’t let this happen!

If a plant is curled inside

Dome, it was left on too long..

Immediately remove Dome.

Never remove Labels. They promote germination, inhibit algae growth and identify your plants..
