My Farm set up

Thanks for the help!

Here is a better picture of my set up.

Very nice, plus your houseplants benefit from the lighting.

Good Morning,


Here is an update on my farm. 
I set the up the units 9 days ago today.  Still amazed at how fast everything is growing.

The peppers just started germinating yesterday, will show an update on those later in the week.



The lettuce is growing strong, Black Seeded Simpson which is the one on the back is growing the fastest.

I thinned the Baby Romaine to one plant per pod it's the 3 pods in the front. I was going to the same for the others but from what I read it is not needed, but seeing how big and bushy the Baby Romaine was I thought it would be better.

Also it looks like the Gourmet Lettuce Seeds, 3rd row from the front started turning red or 2 of them did, the other one
is going to stay green it looks like.

The lettuce variety 2nd row from the front is doing fine too, only one pod did not germinate, but the seed split in half, wondering if maybe the seed did not get enough moisture. I'll give it a few more day's and maybe try putting another seed and see what happens, I think it could also be that the sponge is to high in the pod.




 The Tomatoes are doing great too.

Elainev- thanks,  I went ahead and thinned the tomatoes, The 3 pods in the front came from one pod, it's the Yellow Pear Tomato, couldn't bring my self to trashing them so I put them in empty pods and I will move them out side once they get a little bigger. I am really looking forward to these, I think it's cause they are supposed to look like yellow pears.
The 2 Dwarf Yellow tomatoes had 2 seedlings each so now I got 4 of them, but I think one of them is not going to make it. 

The other 5 Tomato plants are 2 Red Robins and the 3 Aerogarden Mighty Mini Tomato I think the 2 on the left are the Red Robins since they look just a little different from the other 3 which I think are the Aerogarden ones, they have a little more purple in the color.

The Yellow Pear and Yellow Dwarfs are on day 9 and the other tomatoes are going on day 16 I think.

Hi everyone,



This is an update on day 13

The Sweet Bell peppers and the Anaheim peppers finally grew, at the time it seemed like it was taking a long time, but when I look back I feel that it went by pretty fast.



So I realized having these Aerogarden Farms is a great conversation starter, when people enter my home because the lights are so bright they always ask about it. I've even had a few of my non gardening type of friends and family members go and purchase their own farm units. Its great!



Here is an update on the lettuce, I replanted the one you see with the dome last night, I took out the seeds that were inside and put 3 seeds of Black Seeded Simpson, since I noticed it is growing the fastest, so is the baby romaine, just started growing really fast the last couple of days. 

Below are the tomatoes, I transplanted the 3 Yellow Pear tomatoes and 1 of the Aerogarden Mighty Mini tomato to small pots.  Thanks to other threads I been reading through on this site; I learned that you have to harden your plants before officially transplanting them.  In about a week I will officially transplant them to this 17 gallon pot.  If anyone wants me to include pictures and updates on how the ones that will be transplanted outside let me know.  The tomatoes are starting to bush out and growing very slowly upwards.



Here are the Anaheim peppers on the left and the Sweet Bell peppers on the right, these are going on day 12 I have 1 or 2 seedlings growing in each pod. I placed the pods in the holes that were getting better water flow from the machine along with the air stones that I placed in each unit, once I did that it seems they all germinated a few days later, although my family think's its all in my head. 



Tomorrow is my first feeding on the bottom unit after getting them.  A friend who has one says he likes changing the water every 2 weeks instead of every other 2 week, he said his plants have done better because of that. I think I'll do that too and see how they do.

Everything is growing nicely.   Yes, AG's are a great conversation stater.   I have had people come into my home and ask about them as well.  I do have "curtains" in front to cover them at night so the house it not lit up like a carnival. 

Bravo!  Good job on the update and the plants too!
