Questions and Answers – Lights
Do I need to turn the
AeroGarden lights on and
off manually?
No. Your AeroGarden includes a
built-in timer that turns your lights
on and off at specific intervals. The
timing system started when you first
plugged in your AeroGarden. Every
day it will automatically turn your
lights on beginning at that time.
Can I change the time of day
the lights go off?
Yes. To change the time your lights
go off, follow the simple steps in
"Setting Your Light Timer" on page
53 of this Guide.
Does it matter what time
of day the lights go off?
It depends on what you are
growing. Fruiting plants (dwarf
tomatoes, peppers and eggplants)
all require a daily dark period in
order to produce flowers. If your
fruiting plants will receive any
room light during the day
(either natural or artificial) we
recommend that you set your
AeroGarden Grow Lights to be on
during the day and off at night.
Non-fruiting plants (herbs, flowers,
leafy greens) don't care when the
lights go on and off.
Note: If you are growing non-fruiting
plants, you may prefer to have
the lights go off when you go
to bed and come on in the
morning when you wake up.
Or, you may prefer to use the
AeroGarden as a nightlight
Can I change the number of
hours the lights are on and off?
Only by selecting a different plant
type on the Smart Garden Control
Panel. The light cycle for each
setting is described on page 16
of this Guide.
Can I temporarily turn off
my lights?
Absolutely. Just push the "Lights"
button and then immediately
release to manually turn the lights
off (or back on). This will not
change any of the settings for
your AeroGarden and your lights
will turn on (or off) at the next
regularly programmed time.
Occasional use of this feature
will not harm or slow down the
growth of your plants.
