Personally, I'd like an optional WIFI camera kit. A portable camera that can be moved to observe your plants from wherever you are. Another feature would be to have time lapse snaps to track progress. I'd like that for each wifi garden. And I'd like it incorporated into the main app.

I like that idea too Mike. Whenever I've done timelapses I use a Wyze Cam on a tripod. This has worked well for me - just have to be mindful of the tripod when working around the garden(s).

I think of something really small on a gooseneck. Something that can remain out of the way.

I must be the only one who loves the little no-frills Harvests best.  |

The nice thing about hydroponics is you can have it how ever you want. Simple Kratky, Deep Water Culture, Ebb & Flow, Drip, Aeroponics, Aquaponics or Nutrient Film. You get to choose.

I know this may sound strange,but wish there was a Bounty,and Bounty Elite slim version. I do have two Harvest Elite slims like the spacing better and the style,wish the grow light would go higher. Plants seem to do much better in the slim version then my regular Harvest.

I like the harvests for herbs, lettuce, and small flowers. I don't have to do much to be successful. I was happy to see the harvest XL as it solved most of my complaints about the harvest line.
Still need a bounty or a farm for larger items.

I'm with you on the Harvest XL. That said, I haven't purchased one because they made the bowl incompatible with the accessories for the Harvest/Harvest Elite. Sigh. I would be nice to have that height, but my favorite things are the accessories and ease of use in the Harvest line.  |

The Harvest is the best for microgreens and seed starting, but otherwise I'm still a Bounty snob!  |

I can put 3 in a Bounty and give them room to spread and get big, which leads to weeks of delicious grazing. The Bounty (or Farm) is essential for most fruit bearing crops and taller herbaceous plants I love my Bountys, too! |

I'd like to see the app actually work, and the setup go smoothly.
I'd also like a battery backup for the Harvests, so that I could unplug and swap them around without losing all the settings. (And no, I don't want to buy a separate UPS.)
My Spider Farmer hydroponics garden has an "infinite adjustment" light pole that just slides the extension higher/lower then uses a knob to tighten. No fumbling for the latch to "click" into place.
For the individual wishing the Harvest light pole would extend higher, there's an Etsy shop that sells extensions for them.

I think it would be great if AG would offer an "upgrade" or "accessory" light pole for the Harvest that was both longer and more powerful light. Especially for the Harvest, as there are so many attachments for it, yet they do not fit the Harvest XL. That's the one thing that stops me from purchasing the Harvest XL. Now, if I could swap out that light, that could make what I already have just perfect! Sure, the cost would be less, but AG would still benefit from a sale! |

All good wishes.
I wish my contact did not retire. I am going to see who I can contact there and maybe get these to them ... again.

I am just now learning the maintenance requirements for these, and it seems to me that a drain spigot would be helpful.
And don't put it on the back where you can't get to it. Put it right there on the front, like the spigot on a cask of fine Amontillado.

Put it right there on the front, like the spigot on a cask of fine Amontillado. If you are worried about the rinse and refill part, a siphon and a bucket are a big help, particularly on the larger Bounty models. I'm using this one, which I like, however, it does not fit in the water fill opening of my two Harvest Elite Slim models. But those are in the kitchen, so it's not that difficult for me to carry a basin to the sink. If that becomes a problem, I'll just get a bit of plain tubing and do it the old-fashioned way. Fermtech Auto-Siphon Mini with 6 Feet of Tubing and Clamp, ClearIt should work on my new Harvest 360 as that has a generous water fill opening. I don't know yet about the regular Harvest as I don't have one of those. |

I wish for a knurled knob on the Bounty light pole adjustments! Why they went with slick plastic, I have NO idea! Give me something with just a little bit of grip and make it easier on my aging hands, thanks.

I'm not sure if the wishlist is going anywhere these days, but I would really like for AG to put those electrical plugs that will "rotate" so we could change the direction of that transformer or whatever it's called. I always get frustrated trying to plug them in and so few will fit on a single surge protector outlet.

YUP, I agree. Also, I wish power strips would give you enough space between plugs for the width of the power bricks. You buy a 6 plug power strip and you can only use 2 of them!

I could wish that there was an option to rename a garden in the app! I couldn't find any way to edit that other than to unpair the garden and re-add it, which is inconvenient.
