Seeds: AG salad greens pods (In my defense, I did not order these.)
Aerogarden: Harvest Elite 360
Location: North 40
Water: tap
Grow Medium: AG sponges
Lettuce Preferred pH: 6.0–7.0
Lettuce Preferred EC: 1.4–1.8
Nutrients: none yet, just pH adjusted tap water
Having received my final ever Aerogarden.com order of a Harvest Elite 360, I want to test out my unit for any issues. I thought about germinating, then planting, a Japanese White Dandelion seed or two. But then I realized that those seeds are relatively fresh and who knows about my assorted AG pods that are kicking around from various eBay/Woot units? Plus, I wanted to get it going immediately, rather than wait on the dandelion seeds. I had no luck AT ALL planting those direct last time, so next try will be paper-towel method germination.
I put three pods of AG mystery salad greens in. I can use the extra lettuce, and I’ll find out if the unit is working properly. So far, so good. Lights are OK, pump is working, display panel is working.
My office is becoming a haven of LED sunshine, even though winter is coming. (Overcast, gloomy, expecting rain tonight.)
