Personalize Your Light Timer
(optional)
Your AeroGarden has lights and a built-in timer that automatically provide plants with the optimal amount of “sunlight”
(about 16 hours) and “night” (about 8 hours), depending on the plant type selected in the previous section.
As long as plants get this amount of light, it does not matter when the lights are turned off.* Many people find it con-
venient to have the lights go on in the morning and off at night to match their own wake and sleep schedule.
*The exceptions to this are Flower, Tomato & Pepper plants. They require a daily dark period in order to produce flowers. If your plants will receive
any room light during the day (natural or artificial), we recommend that you set your AeroGarden lights to be on during the day.
In case of power failure, your AeroGarden has a backup
system that stores your light & nutrient timers and plant
selection settings. When power is restored, your AeroGarden
will go back to the off-on cycle you have set.
5 Simple Steps...
In order to make this as simple as possible, you only
need to set the time you want your AeroGarden
lights to go off (Off Time), and your built-in light
timer automatically sets the On Time...nothing
more for you to do.
Decide what time of day you want the lights to go OFF.
AT THAT TIME check that lights are on. If they are off, quickly press “Lights” button and
immediately release. (Lights must be on in order to reset timer.)
With lights on, press and hold “Lights” button until the green light next to the plant type
you selected starts blinking – about 5 seconds.
Release the button.
When blinking stops (about 9 seconds), the lights will go off.
Your lights are now set to go off at this time every day.

• Turn Off at the time you set using the above steps

You can reset your timer as often as you want.

your bedroom, you may want to set the lights to
go off about the time you usually go to bed, so
as not to disturb your sleep.
