PLANTING: Tomato and Pepper

Since vegetable production in an AeroGarden is quite a bit more tricky than greens or herbs or even some flowers, I am starting off with a more detailed run-down of what I am growing.


I have one Tomato plant and one Pepper plant in the same AG Extra planter.


Seed brand and max height

• Tomato: Totem Hybrid from Park Seed, Co.
• Pepper: Sweet Mini Bell from AeroGrow (as pod kit)

Pod planting scheme

• Front Row, end pods.
• 4 seeds in Pepper Pod.
• 3 seeds in Tomato Pod
• Grow medium for both pods: AeroGrow sponges.

Nutes I am using

• AeroGrow supplied liquid nutes, per instructions (8ml, 5.5ml, etc.)

What machine I am using

• AeroGarden Extra

Sow date

• Both Plants: March 19th, 2012

Date of germination

• Tomato: 3/23 for first seed.
• Pepper: 3/26 for first seed.

P+10 Days: Arrival

Not much. Just vegetation.

P+21 Days: The Tortoise and the Hare

Guess which is which!
This is an AeroGrow kit pepper so I assume it is right for hydroponics, but man, is it pokey.
