Pruning
•
bigger harvests if you prune plants to keep the lights closer to all plants.
• Fast growing plants (like basil) make gardeners want to raise the lights too soon.
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 need.
• Not pruning is the number one mistake made. Prune early and often to maintain a
healthy garden, but never take more than 1/3 of each plant at a time.
Light
• Always keep the grow lights as close to your plants as possible. Plants should be 2.5-
5cm below the grow lights.
• Always check to see if you can prune plants instead of raising the grow lights. After
pruning, lower your lights back down to within 2.5-5cm of the plants if possible.
• You do not need to replace the grow lights unless individual diodes start to fail. If this
occurs, contact help.Kogan.com for support.
Nutrients
• Typically, your plants will need nutrients every 2 weeks.
• Follow the instructions for feeding amounts printed on the nutrient packaging.
• For best results, once a month, empty all water, add fresh water and nutrients, and
reset your Add Nutrient alert.
