Bounty pre 2019 Light hood repair/replacement

LoveSalads, that is a really valuable post! I'm extremely interested in keeping my existing AGs going for as long as possible, now that the new models are coming out (only the Harvest 2.0 for now).

Hopefully you can see this picture the lighting was bad. Basically is a stand your hubby can make out of $10 worth of pvc tubing and a few connectors. Then use a cable rachet strap adjustable to any height and wala you have it.

Not sure what you mean the second part of your question. The power cable coming from the bounty/extra that goes to the light plugs right into the power supply. Then your AG will turn the light off and on. If your looking to use the same light hood as in my second picture you have to pull the power supply out of the light hood and use the connector supplied with your purchase of the said power supply to the led panel in the hood. 2 totally different fixes I just like spending $20 instead of buying an AG 45w light panel, power adapter to hook up to your AG and , a way to hang that 45w light. The hanging kit/wires do come with the AG 45w light panel but not the rachet strap to make it adjustable.  The stand I am using was pre Ag's .I used to start plants with T5 Fluorescent light mounted to that stand a variation is still available.

I have several jump starts. I used 3/4 inch conduit, 2- 5 foot pieces so you only have to buy 1 10 foot piece(std size). At the top and bottom you square your round conduit using channel locks or, vice grips and slowly squeeze till it squares off. Then It will fit the jump start hardware like it was made for it. Or you can buy 3/4 inch 600psi pvc pipe(red letter stuff) and no messing around, fit the jump start hardware. No modification needed. It makes both those stands 5 feet which is plenty for most all my needs. One jump start I went 6 foot it became less stable. ooooooooops 

The power supply plugs into the Aerogarden. The cord going from your Aerogarden to the light hood is the one you plug into the power supply I bought from amazon. That power supply has its own cable you plug into the light hood after you pull the power supply out of said light hood and wire the leds to the connector supplied with the power supply bought off amazon. It is less work just buying the AG 45w light panel and the adapter and hooking it up that way but, I liked only spending $20 vs probably over $100 depending on sale prices or lack there of.
