AeroGrow AeroGarden Pro 100 with Gourmet Herb Seed Kit

More food, faster. The Aerogarden⢠Pro 100 introduces our new and improved technology called Adaptive Growth Our current system regulates nutrients and light to optimize growth for each specific plant type. AeroGrows new stainless steel Pro 100 uses computerized Adaptive Growth technology to continuously monitor plant growth and instantly adjust the nutrients, light cycle and water flow to give plants exactly whats needed at each stage of growth - for earlier harvests and up to 50% more food. From germination, to initial growth to advanced growth, we are delivering just what the plant needs, just at the right time. In addition, since grow lights lose power over time before they actually burn out, it is important to replace your bulbs every 6 months. The Pro 100 includes a Grow Light Replacement System, to automatically remind consumers when it is time to replace the lights for continued optimal plant health and growth. The Pro 100 Super Grow 24 hour light cycle lets the experienced gardner override the built-in timer, which is maximized at 17 hours of light, to provide more light.

It works!!!! I have had it for 3 weeks and i have tiny plants... ALL of my seeds have sprouted. The dill was very slow but it has started to grow in the last few days. Very happy with purchase. The light is very bright put it in a place the the light will not bother you. Im actually thinking about getting another one for myself, Gave one to family for Christmas and they love it as well.

The aerogarden does grow great herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. But, it takes more than just "planting" the seeds and adding water. You do need to tend to your garden (pruning, raising lights, making sure there is enough water in the bowl even before the low water light comes on, etc.). It's definitely not, excuse my language, "idiot proof". The plants do last forever and you get great crops. The grow lights do stay on a most of the day and are very bright. Preparing the aerogarden for another crop is easy, a little time consuming, but not bad after you've done it once. We have definitely enjoyed ours, infact we have two!

Re Aero Garden PRO 100
Growing beautifully. Wish there had been a way for the product to grow cilantro. Apparently they had too many problems with that herb. They have replaced it with a second type of basil. I love basil, but it is prolific and wish there were a different replacement for the cilantro. Had one problem with the water indicator and after calling the pleasant customer service, had the replacement part in three days.

This is definitely the size you want if you are growing cherry tomatoes. The standard size was just too small and at the highest light setting, the tomatoes were growing past and burning. I would have liked to know when to plant the salad in conjunction with the tomatoes because it looks like the salad will be finished growing before the tomatoes are ready to eat.

If growing the cherry tomatoes, you really do want the trellis system because it is next to impossible to rig up something to fit. I ended up cutting a piece of plastic fencing to wrap around the whole unit to hold the plants upright. They seriously fall over and look like they are going to fall out.

I've had my Aerogarden Pro100 for about one year, and I'm very pleased. I had compared it to other brands, and decided that since this was self-contained and practically dummy proof that it was a good choice for me. I also bought the salad greens kit because I wanted quick results the first time, and it grew well.

By spring I had grown two salad greens kits, which produced two to three salads for two people each week for several weeks. I bought the special insert to start seeds to go outside (with 70 holes and plugs). After years of not being able to start my own seedlings, I started both my spring and summer vegetable gardens successfully. I even started a pot of alpine strawberries in the Aerogarden.

I am currently growing the tomatoes. There are three to the kit, not seven, but there isn't room for seven tomatoes. The instructions say to prune the tomatoes to make them stronger, and I've already used the Master Gardener kit to root my tomato prunings. I'm hoping to buy another unit soon, move the tomato plants to the new unit and use the extended season tabs to feed the tomatoes. If I'm still growing and pruning the tomatoes in the spring, I'm hoping to start cuttings for my patio tomatoes from the existing Aerogarden tomatoes.

I had the problem with the bad motor, but Aerogarden customer service was very helpful and promptly replaced both the motor and the salad greens kit. All in all, I really like this unit.
