With Aerogarden it was quite easy to buy an initial Aerogarden then decide you need another, and another, and another.... Is anybody thinking, my Aerogardens will last anywhere from another 1-3 years, I think I will check out grow tents and maybe slowly piece something together to be ready before my Aerogardens all fail?

The thought crosses my mind here and there, but I suspect I would just consider using some lights with stands, or other garden systems. Mostly I grow greens, and though some are taller greens, I suspect I can find something that will work. For tomatoes, I'm only really interested in doing the micro dwarfs, and those aren't a problem for most garden systems. Peppers might be tougher, but I could probably work something out. I'll likely be hitting 70/72 about the point the AGs have failed, presuming they last 4-5 years, so I may not be wanting to bother anyway, depending on how my back is doing. So I'm not worrying excessively about the future of my indoor gardening, no. |

Looking at grow tents after this post I see this:
...about the right size for my two back to back Bounty Elite's (sometimes with a height extender for the light). Thinking this would have prevented aphids on my Brussels Sprouts and Thai Chilis. So I ordered one to check it out. Believe it would work with another light source and growing medium. So toe in the water.

My gardens set below cabinets so I need a fairly shallow unit like my bounties :-(

I'll probably just go with another system, hopefully one that has replacement parts like new LEDs always available.

I think you will like your grow tent. I have a x3x3x6 that houses the Ckerokee Purple Slicer. I have removed the material and now just use the frame as it was blocking me from the drawers in the dresser. It also was getting warm with the 100 watt light at the top. You can clip a fan in there, hang your light/s, use Tomato support clips, etc all. They can be very customized to you liking. I do have a shower curtain on the front of it to block some light but it moves right out of the way to trim ,pollinate and, water the plant.  20240507_131101 |

The grow tent arrived and I think it needs some air circulation. Checking the included literature I see, "Intro to Growing Hemp", not sure what variety of tomato this is.  The other documentation was more helpful showing fan and filter setup either inside or outside the tent. Since the tent height is correct for an extended Bounty light I will investigate the outside tent setup. |
