GARDENING TIPS
1. What's the ideal temperature?
The ideal temperature is 65-76°F/16-24°C.
2. How and when to adjust the lighting panel when you start to germinate
the seeds?
Make the lighting panel at the lowest place of the light post. Then the seedlings
start growing and get taller. Keep the lighting panel 1"-2" above the plants to make
sure they get the right amount of light.
3. When to remove the domes?
Remove the transparent domes when the seedlings nearly touch the domes.
4. How many seeds shall I plant per pod?
The quantity of seeds depends on the size of the seeds and the germination rate of
the seeds. lf the seeds are big and high germination rate, then you can put only 1or
2. If it's small and has a low germination rate, then you should put 3-5 seeds.
Please don't forget to check the seed packet for information regarding temperature
and for days to germination. Make sure the packed date of the seeds is as new as it
can be. If the seeds are old, they may not be able to be activated. After you get the
seeds and use a few of them. It's better to keep seeds dry and cool. A temperature
between 32° and 41°F is ideal, so your refrigerator can be a good place to store seeds.
5. How much water shall Iadd into the tank when I plant from seeds?
When you plant from seeds, then add water level till the Min. water level. You don't
need to add water within the rst 10 days as seeds don't need much water at the
beginning. When plants have more leaves, they will need more water. In that case,
add water below Min. water level but do not add too much water into the tank
which exceeds the Max. water level mark on the indicator or less than the Min.
water level, both will hurt the plants' growth. Keeping water level between the Min.
and Max. Mark (blue area) is always a good choice.
6. How long will the nutrients in the smart soils last?
The smart soils themselves are already integrated with nutrients, the nutrients
inside will last at least 3 months. Before that, no extra plant food is required.
7. What are these space lids for?
The spacer lids are used to cover the holes you don't want to grow anything or
expand the distance between pods. These covers are also for inhibiting algae growth.
8. How to prune herbs like basilwhen they are tall?
Follow the main stem back to the previous leaf set and cut right above the 5th set
of leaves (see attached picture 1and 2). Cut the herb back about 1/4 inch above a
node (the place where leaves come out). Leave a few inches of leaves (3 pairs
recommended) on the plant after pruning. Never take more than 1/3 of the plant
when pruning. Pinching or cutting back basil plants regularly encourages full,
bushy plants. Trim a basil plant every two to three weeks and pinch o the ower
buds as soon as you see them.
9. What if I want more timer options?
If you are not satised with the 'Timer' modes you currently have and want more
options. A good choice will be to purchase a smart plug online or oine, so you
can feel free to set up your own mode. While you are using the smart plug, please
make sure our light's mode is 24 hours on (press the 'Timer' button when the 3
modes have no signal light on) or the smart plug may not work as you expected.
