Plant Food
- Add Liquid Plant Food to the Bowl when you first plant your Seed Pod Kit and when the `Add Plant Food’ reminder turns RED every 2 weeks.
- Follow directions on the Plant Food bottle for feeding amounts and top off the water level to `Fill To Here.’
- Touch the button once to turn off the alert and to reset the Plant Food timer.
Watering
- The `Add Water’ indicator will flash RED if the water level drops more than halfway below the fill line.
- It’s ok to add water to the `Fill To Here’ line any time. For best growth, keep your garden topped up!
Good To Know: Your Pump cycle is set to be ON for 5 minutes and OFF for 25 minutes.
If your button is green, you can touch it once to test your Pump.
Lights
Touch the button to temporarily turn LED Grow Lights On or Off. This will not affect the timing of your light cycle and occasional use will not harm your plants.
Once pressed, the Lights will stay On/Off until the next time they are set to go On/Off.
Set Lights `ON’ Time
When you plug in your AeroGarden for the first time the Grow Light will come ON, and will continue to come ON at this same time every day. It will turn off automatically 15 hours later.
If you would like to change the time of day when the light comes ON follow these steps:
- Touch and hold your finger over the Lights On/Off button for about 3 seconds and release when it blinks
- Your LED lights will turn ON and OFF once to confirm a new Light on time has been set
Your Grow Lights will now come ON at this time each day, and will stay ON for 15 hours.
An Important Note About Lights:
Your AeroGarden Harvest has a built-in timer for the Grow Light that automatically provides your plants with the perfect amount of “sunlight.” As long as your plants get this amount of light, it does not matter what time the lights are off. You may find it most convenient to have the lights go on in the morning and off at night, to match your own personal wake and sleep schedule.
Did You Know Your control panel buttons will light up when you plug in your garden? They will remain on and turn RED when there is an alert.
To Start a New Garden
To start a new garden, touch and hold your finger over the button for about 5 seconds. The button will flash 3 times to confirm it was reset. All of your reminders are now reset and you’re ready to plant.

FAQS
The lights on the control panel are on continuously, is that normal?
Yes it is! The “Add Plant Food” light is green, the “Add Water” light is blue, and the “Light On/Off” is white. When an action is required, the light of that button will blink red.
Did any of the pods got some mold on it?
This is actually addressed in the directions. It’s normal to have growth on the pods and a positive sign! Hang in there if you see this. It means your plant should soon sprout!
Can you grow organically with this?
Yes. Our nutrients contain no harmful pesticides, herbicides or other “funny” stuff. The FDA has procedures for classifying plants as organic, but nutrients are not regulated in this way. AeroGrow nutrients are made from mineral salts that provide iron, calcium, magnesium, and other “vitamins” that life on earth need to flourish, in exactly the right amounts for your plants, derived from sources that ensure high levels of consistency and purity. Our seeds are sourced from large and small vendors from around the world. Many are heirloom seeds, organic sources are chosen when available, and GMO seeds are never used. We also have a Grow Anything Seed Kit available so you can plant your own seeds!
Can you mix and match the seed pods? Like lettuce with tomatoes, and herbs? Or can you only do all lettuce, all tomatoes, etc.?
You can mix and match seed pods, but if you intend on planting large plants, you may want to leave some vacant so the plants have room horizontally. Also, they’ll grow at different rates and it’s best to regularly prune to avoid the taller plants getting light while the shorter ones don’t. When I mix and match large plants with small ones I end up transplanting the larger plants out of the aerogarden to save the smaller plants as well as allow the larger plants to thrive in their own space
can you be certain there seeds are non-GMO?
All of our seeds are non-GMO.
Can this be kept in a non lighted room?
yes, this can be in a room with out windows, it has its own light
How do you replace the light when it goes out?
The lights are LED and should last 3-5 years.
Why does the light to fill water and add food stay on when the water level is above the fill line and I put more than enough food?
One thing you can try if the water level indicator is not working is to take out the indicator tube and clean around the indicator. This tube is located in the water bowl. Lift straight up and then replace with the magnetic end of the float facing down. Contact our Customer Service team if you are still having any trouble.
Can this be powered from a DC current source?
We do not suggest powering your garden from a DC current, this will void the warranty on your garden.
Is the plant food toxic for pets?
But the should not have access. Can’t drink the water unless is knocked down and broken
The light button don’t work and i cannot change the timer, what i should do? The unit is new
You may have to hold the button for about 3 seconds or so.
What does it mean it mold gets in one of your pods?
Take it out and start again. Mold can infect other pods
One of the pods did not sprout at all ?
two of mines took time, but all of them sprouted.
do you use tap or bottled water?
Tap water is safe to use in most places across the US. If you have very hard or very soft water then dilute it with some distilled water. If you have questions please call us at 800-476-9669.
Has anyone planted lettuce in this one?
Yes, salads thrive and grow fast in AeroGardens. The Harvest is the perfect size for growing lettuces.
can you use your own seeds ? or have to use the special seed pods ?
You can use our Grow Anything Seed Pod Kit(s) to plant the seeds of your choice. Please reach out to our Customer Service Team on the Aerogarden website with any further questions or concerns.
