Heard you mention Arugula. Also known a Rocket in some parts of the world 🌎. I have four Aerogardens. I grow arugula year round with lettuce, dill, basil, parsley, and a couple other herbs. Thumbs 👍 up for your video.
I tried using rockwool in my AeroGarden before, and I used to disregard the pod all together and just cut off the corners of a rockwool cube to make it fit. I never thought of using two pieces of rockwool in a pod like that, thank you for the idea! Would literally double the use of my rockwool, and prevent roots from growing into the drip chambers.
For anyone using aero nutrients make sure you shake before each use otherwise there will be too much nutrients in the bottom and your plants will die of nutrient burn.
I love my Aerogarden! I have 2 and one of them currently has a broken air pump, but I just ordered a new one and am looking forward to the difference it will make for my sorrel I currently have in the unit. I never thought to use a second piece of rockwool for the buffer - that's genius! That's what I'm using now because I don't have any more of the original pods. The versatility is wonderful!
That's amazing how quickly some of those vegetables grow! BTW, the tatsoi seeds you sent sprouted in like 1 day and germination is at 100%! Amazing. I was late in starting it, so we'll see how it goes with growing it hydroponically and a couple outside.
HersheyTV I’d get a grow light of amazon. Aero gardens cost 15 bucks per set of plants vs seeds. Get a smart timer if light is your concern or a self watering reservoir one if water is your worry. I got a grow light from my parents last Christmas and it’s awesome. It has self watering and I bought a cheap time for it. If your interested I can send you a link.
Do you think we need the labels on the seed pods on the top? Or can we leave them without a label? When you add water in 2 weeks...How do you know how much nutrients to add? Do you add the amount for the whole tank? Thank You
ThankS Deeply for sharinG your awesome tipS!!!👍I just started my firSt Aerogarden thiS past week and I am lookinG forward to growinG lots of plant kidZ...especially in de Winter when it can get to -30 degrees Celsius out side!!!✌🌹🌞🌹🌱🌱🌱🌹
Quick question: if you plant seeds in one of these what lighting setting do you use? Do you start with low light then increase the light intensity after the seedlings emerge?
If you were limited to using the Kratky method, instead of using an Aerogarden, how often would you need to change out the nutrient solution from the reservoir? If you need to top off the reservoir, would you need to further dilute the additional nutrient solution like you did in the video with the Aerogarden and by what percentage? Thanks! I enjoy your videos and you provide good information.
I have a question! What is the BEST AEROGARDEN if you want to grow a variety of lettuce and spinach and/or mustard greens.. if that's even possible...?Thanks!
@Khang Starr.. Very Nice...why do you use second piece of rock wool? I have about 50 aerogrow sponges..can I use them? Why only 5 ml if you have a 9 pod system? Where can up get rock wool?
Great looking system. The plants are looking great. One method to avoid smaller plants left behind is to plant only one strain per hydrosystem. They get equal amount of nutrients because they have more equal needs.
new follower here and i really enjoy your videos one question i have is if you grow say lettuce and tomatoes together and my light has 2 settings on it one for flower and one for veg which one should i run or do i have to grow all same thing ?
I planted 3 tomato seeds in one pod and theyve all sprouted into seedlings, when should I thin them? I'm wanting to transplant the other 2 into a pot :)
Hey I like your little show I love what you do I have a question for you using cracking method and using the air pump at the same time just using the cracking method and the air method at the same time how would you think that a workout
My bok choy are growing like crazy, almost becoming a weed. At first I felt like I was the bok choy king but then I found out that my family members don't really like to eat bok choy. Doh!
Aerogardens have a pump to bring the water up to the top of every pod which runs 5 minutes at a time 2 times an hour. It has a built in timer for the lights. You can add an air stone if you want.
I use MaxiGro and this brand but from what I`ve seen MaxiGro is superior. It comes in powder form and you add one to two teaspoons per gallon so it`s easy to mix.
We have 8 Aerogardens in various sizes. Growing Cherry tomatoes, mini tomatoes, herbs, and lots of lettuce! Love them for indoor gardening! -Diane

Khang, thank you for all these excellent videos!! They have helped me learn so much!

Mind of a genius thanks for that I’m thinking about getting me one
This would be good food smoothies. Since you only need a few leafs per smoothie
I’m thinking of getting an AeroGarden! This is awesome!

Exotic Bean you can buy these grow mediums from amazon and use your own seeds.’I never buy their plants

Quick question: if you plant seeds in one of these what lighting setting do you use? Do you start with low light then increase the light intensity after the seedlings emerge?
You can use the same settings throughout.
If you were limited to using the Kratky method, instead of using an Aerogarden, how often would you need to change out the nutrient solution from the reservoir? If you need to top off the reservoir, would you need to further dilute the additional nutrient solution like you did in the video with the Aerogarden and by what percentage? Thanks!

Can you transplant these plants to soil in pots or the ground?

@Khang Starr.. Very Nice...why do you use second piece of rock wool? I have about 50 aerogrow sponges..can I use them? Why only 5 ml if you have a 9 pod system? Where can up get rock wool?
I bought a large cube of rock wool on Amazon. You just follow the directions on the nutrient bottle. 5 ml per liter of water or whatever.
Great looking system. The plants are looking great. One method to avoid smaller plants left behind is to plant only one strain per hydrosystem. They get equal amount of nutrients because they have more equal needs.
how neat!

Put it on flower when you see blooms on the tomatoes. It won`t harm lettuce.
what a great video!

Would floral sponge work?
You can rotate the plants to allow for better light coverage.
Any idea if this would work with transferring saplings from soil into an aerogarden?

What is the plant in the back left hand side?
Can you cut off Chinese cabbage leaves off every few days as well?
Harvest leaves as needed or wanted.

Great video! Does this unit require a bubbler to aerate the water, do you have it on a timer for lighting, how is the energy consumption ?
Aerogardens have a pump to bring the water up to the top of every pod which runs 5 minutes at a time 2 times an hour. It has a built in timer for the lights. You can add an air stone if you want.
Can you add your own nutrients or is that AeroGardens brand
I use MaxiGro and this brand but from what I`ve seen MaxiGro is superior. It comes in powder form and you add one to two teaspoons per gallon so it`s easy to mix.
What kind of nutrients did you add thanks
Aerogarden nutrients. check the description for links.
Kratky method in the air method at the same time how would you think that will work out
Awesome
Is there ever a worry with mold?
You have to clean the unit every few weeks.
Love your channel! How did you know how much liquid plant food to add?
It will tell you on the label of the nutrients. I like to go a little less at times.
@@KhangStarr I wondered about that. You add a lot less than what is on the bottle. Any specific reason?
For this it should be two capfuls 8 millimeters then after 2 weeks 3 capfuls
Yo
why not just grow from seed
He grew multiple seeds per pod on another project and these were the ones he thinned out.

My veg grow quicker in a jam jar grown hydroponically
