The "24-Hour Light" setting allows you to override the
built-in light timer and keep the lights on 24 hours a
day. You can also customize the amount of light your
plants receive by manually turning lights on and off
using the "Lights" button, or setting automatic on/off
times, using a standard light timer.*
Use the "24-Hour Light" setting when growing plants
that thrive with continual light and moisture, such as
leafy greens and some herbs.
For the more experienced gardener, the "24-Hour
Light" setting provides added flexibility when planting
a custom garden. You are no longer limited to the pre-
programmed light schedules associated with each plant
type (such as Vegetables, Herbs, etc.).
once your AeroGarden 6 elite + is set on "24-Hour light" setting, lights will remain on 24 hours a day. To shorten the amount
of time lights are on, quickly press and release "lights" button, and lights will turn off. lights will automatically come back on
within 12 hours – or, you can press and release "lights" button again, to turn lights back on.
