I planted new Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes today. Just one pod. I am leaving space for something else on the other side.
Machine: Bounty Seeds: AG
# Seeds: 3
Sponge: Park's (I removed from the AG sponge and place in Park's) Nutes: 6ml to begin
Pictures when something happens.

My company left and I was able to get into the room to take a look. I need to take a picture but it has germinated and it above the label.

I took a picture and will get it uploaded. I also thought I planted another tomato plant pod and  I forgot. @cornne, do you think it is ok to get a pod in now? My Heirloom is only about 1.5" tall? I also need to thin out the two smaller plants. |

6 ml must be the perfect starter amount judging from your photo. (from the slow learner who has crisped, turned dark blue green, and otherwise tortured 4 tomato plants so far.)
I have the Bounty full of a new lettuce crop, so last night I started seeds for 2 more Tiny Tim tomatoes that I plan to grow Kratky style.
Please post as you increase nutrients. I'm taking notes!

I will. 
If you question if you are feeding to much, post pictures and we can help you figure it out. Sometimes there is an easy fix while others it may be too late. There are never stupid or silly questions |

@shawn, I'm adding 4ml nutes to my two Tiny Tim plants in the Harvest. Book calls for 6 but my bed has only those two plants in it. My plants are doing fine. If you're only growing that one plant in that machine I'd say that 6 ml are way too much.

Shawn, thanks for the offer to help. But I would be way too humiliated to post pictures of my little monstrosities. They are way too far gone.
I will post any problems I run into with the new seeds I'm starting.
I have been reading about Aerogarden tomatoes and am confused because they need far less nutrients than AG recommends -- and yet I have read that the tomatoes are tasteless without adequate nutrients. I even called Aerogarden and they repeated the 8-8-12 recommendation for the Bounty.
I wish I could be happy just growing greens. But I must grow at least one healthy tomato plant!

I have had no issues with the 6ml I was adding to the project I ended. I think I even went up to 7 with no issues.

To be honest, I really believe (I may be off) that the City water has a lot to do with it. I find that my projects burn like mad when I add the suggested nutrients and always have to g lower. If you look at the leaves on my Magic Blotch mimulus I posted this morning, you can see a slight browning along the leaf edges starting to happen...because I just fed the plants

No, not yet. You need 5 off shoots. I only see 2 maybe 3 so far. :-)
