HOW TO PERSONALIZE YOUR LIGHT TIMER
When you plug in your AeroGarden for the first time the Grow Light will come on, and will
continue to come on at this same time every day. If you are satisfied with the light timer you
do not need to make any changes. If you would like to change the time of day when the light
comes on, follow this simple step:
At the time of day you want the Grow Lights to come ON:
• Use the 'Lights' button to turn lights ON if they are not already on. Grow Lights must be
ON to reset the light timer.
• Press and Hold the 'Lights' button for for 3-5 seconds until control panel lights blink, then release.
Your Grow Lights will now come on at this time each day, and will stay on for the number of hours
you have chosen on the control panel.
ABOUT THE PUMP
The Pump in your Harvest garden will automatically run 5 minutes of every hour. You do not need to set
any controls to activate the pump; the first 5 minute cycle will start when the AeroGarden is plugged in.
To test the pump, Press and Hold 'Select' for 2 seconds. When the pump starts, you will hear the water
trickling into the water Bowl. You can also lift up the Grow Deck to see the water pumping upward. The
Pump will run for one minute in the test mode, then automatically shut off.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT LIGHTS
Your AeroGarden Harvest has a built-in timer for the Grow Light that automatically provides your plants
with "sunlight" (between 16 - 18 hours per day). As long as your plants get this amount of light, it does
not matter what time the lights are off. Many people find it most convenient to have the lights go on in
the morning and off at night, to match their own personal wake and sleep schedule.
GARDENING TIPS FOR MAXIMUM HARVESTS
PLANTING
• Many Seed Pods are labeled for height. Gardens grow and look their best when tall plants are in back
and medium/short plants in the center and front openings. If plants are all the same size, like Salad
Greens, they can be planted anywhere.
• Do not remove Labels from Seed Pods. The labels identify the plant type and plant height, show the
germination time, and inhibit algae growth.
• Grow Domes help regulate moisture and temperature for optimal germination. Leave them on until
plants are nearly touching the domes.
• Seed Pod Kits for large plants like Tomatoes and Peppers often receive fewer than 6 pods to make room
for the large plant size. Leave space between seed pods to allow room for each to spread out. Put Plant
Spacers in the remaining openings.
