Garden Tips

The ratio of the water

Notice:

1. Nutrient particles have a storage life of 2 years in unopened bottles if stored at ambient temperature without exposure to sunlight.
2. A well-mixed nutrient solution prepared by adding water has a storage life of 5 months without exposure to sunlight.
3. If there is precipitation, it’s a normal phenomenon.
4. Keep it beyond the reach of children and pets.

How to plant Cotton Block

1. The seeds can be soaked in clear water for about 6 hours in advance. and then put into the bottom of the hole of the fully soaked planting cotton block
2. In general, it is recommended to put 2 seeds into each planting cotton block. During the seedling period, the well-growing ones can be reserved, and the poorly growing ones can be gently pulled out or cut off with scissors.

Planting

• Many Seed Pods are labeled for height. Gardens grow and look their best when tall plants are planted in back, medium plants along the sides, and short plants in front. If plants are all the same size,  like Salad Greens, they can be planted anywhere.
• Do not remove Labels from Seed Pods. The labels identify the plant type and plant height, show the germination time, and inhibit algae growth.
• Grow Domes help regulate moisture and temperature for optimal germination. Leave them on until plants are nearly touching the germination. Leave them on until plants are nearly touching the domes.

GERMINATION

• Some seeds germinate in less than 24 hours. Some take 24 days or more. Most labels give an estimate of how long your seeds will take to germinate but many factors impact germination.
• As a rule of thumb, if you are comfortable, so are your plants. However, plants are impacted by temperature. Cold weather plants like Salad Greens germinate better in cooler weather. Heat lovers  like Tomatoes and Peppers will germinate faster in warmer temperatures (above 70 degrees F). But don’t sweat it! While they may take a bit more time, your seeds will germinate.
• If you are growing your own seeds, plant 5-6 seeds per pod and check the seed packet for information regarding temperature and check the seed packet for information regarding temperature and
• Lower your plants, don’t raise your lights! You wil achieve more compact, beautiful growth and bigger harvests if you prune plants to keep the lights closer to all plants.
• Fast growing plants (ike Basil) make gardeners want to raise the lights too soon. Resist! Pruning the plant just above a new leaf set (Diagram A) and leaving the lights down low will ensure that slow-  growing and low-growing plants in your garden get all the light they growing and low-growing plants in your garden get all the light they need to flourish
• Not pruning is the number one mistake made by new Device! Prune early and often and enjoy the small harvests!
• Prune often to maintain a healthy garden, but never take more than /3 of each individual plant at a time.
• Finally, pruning = harvesting. Each time you prune you get to enjoy fresh herbs in a salad, soup on pizza or a sandwich. And, a full, bushy garden looks much better than one giant, spindly plant surrounded by straggly, light starved neighbors. Pruning also releases a wonderful scent. So prune!

PRUNING

• Best results are achieved by topping off water regularly.
  Plants grown in the Device are designed to thrive with most municipal tap water. Improved results can be seen with distilled water or reverse osmosis water, but this is not needed in most cases.

• Do not use well water, as most well water contains a high amount of dissolved solids that upset the balance of our nutrients. This can result in plants suddenly browning, or just not growing well.

• Do not use softened water as it contains too much sodium and will usually harm your plants.

Light

• Plants love light! Always keep your Grow Lights as close to your plants as possible. Plants should be 1-2 inches below Grow Lights.
• Always check to see if you can prune plants instead of raising Grow Lights.After pruning, lower your lights back down to within 1-2 inches of plants if possible.
• You do not need to replace your LED lights unless individual diodes start to fail.

NUTRIENTS

• Typically, your plants will need nutrients every 2 weeks.
• Follow instructions for feeding amounts printed on the nutrient packaging.
• Add nutrients directly into the Bowl through the Water Tank
• Nutrient requirements may change as plants grow.
• More isn’t better. Resist the temptation to add “just a little extra.” Too much nutrient can hurt your plants
• For best results, try a “Rinse and Refill” once a month when it’s time to add nutrients. Simply empty all water from the bowl, add fresh water and nutrients and reset your “Add Nutrient” alert. This  balances the nutrients, delivering an instant pick up to plants.

POLLINATING

Because most people don’t have bees in their home, you will need to start pollinating your fruiting plants (tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, etc) once they begin to flower (approximately 4 – 6 weeks after  planting). To pollinate, use one or more of the following methods:

• Place an open hand inside plant branches and gently move your hand back and forth to shake the plant and spread the pollen.
• Place a fan near your plants and the moving air will pollinate your plants
• Strawberries can beneft from more aggressive pollination.
• Using an electric toothbrush, touch each flower with the brush, moving from flower to flower.

HARVESTING

• Many first-time growers are hesitant to harvest. Don’t be! Most gardens will produce more, for a longer period, with frequent harvests. You almost can’t begin to harvest (prune) early enough.
• Garden work best with a harvesting method called “cut and come again.” Simply put, you enjoy frequent small harvests and then watch as the plants rapidly regrow – ready for harvest again and  again.
• Enjoy frequent, smaller harvests for the first month or two until plants mature and larger harvests a re availa ble.
• Harvest often to maintain a healthy garden, but never take more than 1/3 of each individual plant at a time.
• For Salad Greens, cut the top 2 inches off the entire garden or harvest large leaves individually by cutting off at the base of the plant.
