Has anyone tried mixing different kits? Should I set the AeroGarden to use the herb settings?

This is good to know. I might try this sometime, too! So far I'm just growing the herbs; when they're full-grown and I've harvested from them a few times, I'm going to try planting them in pots so I can get started on my Salad pods.

Mine is quiet, very bright though. There is usually a pod or two that doesn't grow well, but Aerogarden will replace them... I tried the herbs, they grew so large they needed the extra space anyway.

U can use jus there 3 part grow micro bloom base and get good results the rest is for a few steps above but they probly have a few that don't do much but I've been using there 3 part base w b-52, big bud, bud candy, and overdive. U can stick to the base 3 and add 1 at a time to c if there's a noticeable difference I got mine at the same time and have had really good results (spend the $ a good ppm meter tho makes life way easier blue lad works great)

I mixed hydroton with regular potting soil for my Peace lily. I don't really notice a difference for the plant though.

I have grown herbs and flowers in my AeroGarden. I agree with the other participant, leafy plants grow better. Leafy basil was a hit. I am going to grown grass (not marijuana) for our cats and maybe 2 pods with some bright flowers. Works very well, a pain clean.

They sell a "flowers" seed pod. Petunias: http://www.amazon.com/Cascading-Petunias-Seed-Kit-3-Pod/dp/B004M3Z98O/ref=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8&qid=1417790982&sr=8-26&keywords=aerogarden+flowers

I usually just use the Synergy blend as what I use. But I don't think that it would hurt anything to mix and match. You may find something that you like even better.

I confess I found Bayer's instructions on single plant vs bedding plant use mind-boggling. I simply put about an oz to oz & half in the bottom of a gallon milk jug, add lukewarm water, shake vigorously, and fill to top, slowly as it nears the top as it foams. I then use on all my plants, followed by some more clear water, and the foliage is lush and the flowering is maximum. I use a little oftener than 6 weeks between applications.

No, I've used only Miracle Grow and it worked great. I'm sure your mix is even better.

We used a mix of 50% remedy, 25% Diesel and 25% water. So far its like they have been hit with a flame thrower, killing everything we tired, although this mix is recommended for and highly effective on Honey Mesquite. Should work but you would have to try

I'm using Flourish (twice a week) and Flourish Excel (daily) with great results. My plants have never looked/grown better. If you're not satisfied with Flourish Excel alone then try adding other options until you get the results you want.

Yes, I love the combination. See a sample at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGu-x6RxMrw

No you cant do it, First real issue is the heat the pump produces it makes the water hot and you would have too swap (4) frozen water bottles (4) times per day to keep the water temp closer to the optimum range for aeropnics because thats what it would take to prevent root rot bacteria from setting in, you can make or buy a aeroponic unit, The clone king is excxellt with getting cuttings to root vigerously, thats it

Absolutely!! In fact, I JUST finished doing that. I used this recipe: http://gardentherapy.ca/green-guide-natural-beauty-review/ and then added some epsom salt that I had dissolved in water and aloe vera. I also added a little jojoba oil and upped the beeswax since I was adding a watery mix to it. It's cooling quite nicely right now.

They are amazing for Aeroponics. I have used these in both DWC and aeroponic cloning. For best results, mix a small solution of ph'd water, root starter, and whatever organics/nutes you want and just dip these plugs into the mix. No needs to soak because these retain water and nutrients quite well. Place seed/clones in plug and put it into your aeroponic system...works like a charm. Enjoy!

I have had various results with my 8 gardens. Most of them last over a year but I have had to replace more often in my Aerogarden 6 for some reason. A few times a year they have deals on lights so you can stock up. Otherwise they have an LED option now that should last many years. I have 2 of those and they work great.
