Planted 5 days ago, and already showing some life! That's honestly the fastest I've ever seen a pepper sprout lol, the jalapenos are eager! Left Side: Lemon Spice Jalapeno, Orange Spice Jalapeno, Pumpkin Spice Jalapeno, Sugar Rush RedRight Side: Sweet Bonnet, Bhut Jolokia, Carolina Reaper, Buena MulataAll links go to product page for the seed, got them all from Bakers Creek Left side, all three Jalapenos sprouted but can't really see them in the photo yet, except for the Pumpkin Spice at the bottom!  Right side, no one's poked their head up yet, though I'd honestly be more surprised if they had lol:  Looking forward to sharing the pepper garden as it grows! |

Jalapenos are all going strong, and starting to see sprouts in all the other pods!!  Had to put foil over the water-add area, anyone know if Aerogarden will sell covers for those? My new farm came with the covers, which was nice, but I'm not seeing the covers for sale on their website :|  |

Why are you not using the original water port covers?
If only for the black hose, then why not put that in one of the tiny holes (they are plugged) along the back or use a pod hole which is much smaller?
Just curious.

I didn't receive water port covers with this farm :( Which is why I was really pleasantly surprised when I got port covers with my new farm, I thought maybe it was a recent addition. |

I have no clue if they were included with the original farm. Write to AG and ask them. Maybe they will send you a set. You may be able to find them on ebay from someone who had a 3d printer.

I've poked around google a bit, and while it's not clear when they started making port hole covers for the farm, it was enough of a problem that there are several options for 3D printing, although everything that came up was from 2018. I'll send AG an email first asking if they'd be willing to send/sell me some first, but at least I'll have something to fall back on if they say no!  |

Everyone has officially sprouted!! And have some water port covers on order from a 3D printer place because I got tired of waiting on customer support. It's time to add nutrients, but I'm holding off a day to get it synched with the other farm.  |

The plants look good!
Glad you found covers, but sorry AG did't provide them. I can't imagine marketing a machine without them.

I know that AG CS is slow in responding. I can tell you that they are working remotely and are down some staff at the moment because of the Pandemic. They are working hard to get to everyone and will get to you. Remember you can also Tweet and FB Message them as well.

Oh yeah, I don't blame them at all for being slow, the pandemic has been rough!! I'm actually very jealous of the people in my company who are in jobs that can be done from home, I'd be all over that, but I work a field position sadly. I'm glad that AG is still getting plenty of business and have people working! I'm just impatient and $20 to get it sooner was worth it for me.

Added nutrients. The Jalapenos are getting tall!  The Buena Mulata is also trying to set flowers! I'm thinking about pinching them off to let the plant get a little more growth, but left it alone this morning because I had to come in to work :|  |

Finally decided to reclaim my towels and made covers for my reservoirs! I'm a sucker for space patterns lol  Still waiting for the rest of the supplies for the other reservoirs, but I've got covers ready for them! |
