2009-10-10: Replanted my pro100 with 7 pods Korean red curl lettuce, 3 seeds per.
2009-10-16: Not germinating well... only two credible seedlings so far. Added more seeds and pushed them down - maybe they need dark. I sure hope my KRC seeds are still good.
I planted my first Pro100 on November 1, 2007. This is a Flash movie of its first month. My first kits were a Salad Chef pack (14 pods, sampler of all the salad series kits), plus gourmet herb. I grew 2 herbs (basil and dill are my favorite!), plus some of each of the salad types, to see how I liked them.
Key bit of intell: you can raise the lights higher than the last knob on the pro100 and classic Aerogardens! I needed this trick with the peppers... by 8 weeks, it was cut all buds off again or raise the lights further. Peat provided this link that explains how:
Other members had mentioned this, but I'd never tried it until today : using shiny emergency blanket material around the AG to reflect light back onto the plants. I decided to try it, not for the AG's per se, but to try to make the most of my western exposure sliding glass door in my bedroom, to see if my potted pepper might eek out a life indoors.
