For sure. Plus if there are nutes present in your solution, they aren't available due to the PH. If you added rainwater ( i would assume the ph of rw to be around 7, unless it's crazy acid rain) that would put your PH on the high side for any medium. What is that medium in the little containers? And are you growing herbs in the same openings?

I think you should ditch the aerogarden and transplant them into soil and put them under some CFL's. I think you would have much better luck with something more adjustable.

Don't feel bad tho, i saw the HT article on the aerogarden too. They had all those pretty little colas growing in it, looked easy as hell. The problem is HT is a marketing machine that will take money from advertisers, and for that money they will lay out whatever BS the advertisers want US to hear.

On second thought, don't ditch the aerogarden. Clean it out and put some herbs in it. Use it for what it was intended for, little bitty itty herbs. I'm sure they would come out wonderful.
irydyum Reviewed by irydyum on . Aerogarden- 8 days. Brown spots/curling Hi everyone- I purchased an Aerogarden around 10 days ago and germinated the seeds in tissue paper, I then planted the 4 germinated seeds in the 4 middle pods of the aerogarden. I have the light the lowest it can go and it is on a 17/5 herb/ basil setting. I gave the water 1 nutrition tablet when i first started although i have refilled a few times with rainwater since this. It has now been 8 days and I am beginning to worry about the brown spots that are forming with slight yellowing on the Rating: 5
