Pump Cycle
“Adaptive Intelligence” also adjusts the amount of water your tomato
plants receive based on actual plant growth. As a result, the number
of hours the pump moves water over the
Seed Pods
changes as your
garden matures. During “Germination,” the AeroGarden PRO
100
moves
water through the
Seed Pods
12 hours a day. There are 6 hours of each
day when the pump is not running and the lights are on, providing your
tomato seeds with ideal conditions for sprouting.
During “Initial Growth,” your plants need more water so the pump is on
whenever the lights are on. When your garden moves into the “Mature
Growth” phase, additional moisture and oxygen is needed to produce
flavorful tomatoes and the pump remains on at all times (24 hours a day).
