Pod Installation Process
- Begin by inserting the seeds into the plug. Aim for at least 2 seeds per plug
- Put the seeded plug into the grow grid in the black plastic tray. Fill the bottom black plastic tray halfway with cold water
- Spray the inside of the lid with warm water and make sure the vent is aligned at the top so the holes are 'open'
- Place the whole kit somewhere with light and warmth. Right beside the lights of your unit or a window works well too. Wait for your seeds to germinate
- Use a slender object like a pen or paintbrush to gently poke your seedlings out from the bottom
- Transplant into your AEVA or EVE directly with the plant matter facing the lights
Plant Care
- Tomatoes → first germination at 1-2 weeks, first harvest at 6-8 weeks, with harvests available ~ every 7 days for up to 2 months
- Spinach → first germination at 7-10 days & first harvest at 7-8 weeks where you will harvest the entire head
- Basil → harvest after 6 weeks & can be harvested bi-weekly up to 5 times
Nutrients: When transplanting your seedlings into your AEVA or EVE, you will use Aqua Vega nutrients. Add 20ml of A and 20ml of B to the 12L reservoir to start and then after that add 10ml of A and 10ml of B every two weeks.
Harvesting:
- Taking more than 1/3 of the plant at once can shock and kill it so be careful
- If the main stem is going 'woody' then the plant is bolting and it is time for a new one
- If your plant is growing flowers and the stem is becoming solid wood it is time to replace it
- Store seeds in a cool, dark and low-humidity environment
