AeroGarden^TM Chili Pepper Seed Kit

The world’s first-ever in-home kitchen gardening system offers a cost effective and  environmentally friendly way to enjoy farm-fresh, delicious, nutrient-rich produce, while promoting planetary health and sustainability. Using advanced Aeroponic technology, where plants grow in a 100% humid growing chamber without soil, the AeroGarden^TM provides a year-round supply of homegrown, pesticide-free herbs, vegetables and flowers, grown using 100% natural nutrients.

Some of the benefits of the AeroGarden^TM system include:

• Reduced Environmental Impact - the average produce in stores is shipped more than 600 miles. This causes increased non-renewable resource use and pollution. The AeroGarden^TM is so efficient, it uses 95% less water than plants grown in soil and plants grow twice as fast.

• Healthier Food - no pesticides or herbicides are used to grow your food and no preservatives are needed to extend shelf life. When you harvest direct from the plant when needed, you maximize the nutrition value of the food.

• Tastier Food - your food is picked at their peak of ripeness providing maximum taste and flavor. Supermarket products may sit on shelves for weeks before being purchased.

• Cost Savings - growing premium herbs and vegetables in the AeroGarden^TM saves you money compared to the high cost of supermarket products.

AeroGarden^TM Bio-Dome^TM Seed Pod

The Bio-DomeTM Seed Pods are placed in the support tray of the AeroGardenTM Indoor Gardening System. Each plant has a specific location based on their light requirements and proximity to other plants in the seed kit. The plastic Domes create an extremely moist environment to encourage seed germination. A few days after planting, tiny plants will begin to appear through the center hole in the label on each Seed Pod. Remove the clear plastic dome from the Seed Pod at this time. Multiple seeds are planted in each Grow Sponge and will produce multiple plants. Do not remove the label. The label serves to indicate the plant type as well as maintain moisture in the grow sponge.

Heat of AeroGarden^TM Chili Peppers

Capsaicin is the oil in chili peppers that makes them hot. Its concentration, measured in Scoville Units, increases as peppers ripen and can range from 0 in a sweet pepper to a super hot 300,000 in a Habenero pepper. Your AeroGarden^TM has three varieties of chili peppers to give you just the right level of heat ranging from 2,500 to 160,000 Scoville Units. Below are the Scoville ratings for each of your AeroGarden^TM chili peppers from their unripe to fully ripened stages.

Mini Jalapenos 2,500 green/unripe 8,000 red/ripe	Red Fires 40,000 green/unripe 50,000 red/ripe	Purple Super Hots 140,000 purple/unripe 160,000 orange/ripe

Once your chili peppers are fully grown, they start changing color (and become hotter). Choose your desired level of heat by when you harvest. A chili pepper is ready for picking when it is fully grown.

• Mini Jalapenos are 2 to 3”

• Red Fires are about 1 to 1 1/2”

• Purple Super Hots are the size of a large pea or chick pea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is in the Nutrient Tablets? 

A. AeroGarden^TM nutrient tablets consist mainly of mineral salts. These provide the 13 micro and macro nutrients that all plants require, in just the right proportions for the plants. The tablets also contain Seaweed for a boost of 70 additional micro nutrients, a buffer so you can use tap water for your plants without adjusting the pH and a binder to hold the tablet together.

Q. Are the Nutrients Organic?

A. To be certified Organic by the USDA, plant fertilizer must be derived from plants or animals. Because the nutrients are derived from mineral salts, they do not meet the USDA definition of "Organic". These mineral salts are completely natural and are the same ingredients found in typical multi-vitamin/mineral tablets. Plant roots can not distinguish between nutrient ions that originally came from plants or animals and those that came from mineral salts. This is because the Organic nutrients go through a number of biological processes that convert them into minerals before they can be used by plants. By providing the mineral salts directly, the plants use their energy for growing more efficiently rather than converting fertilizer into the mineral salts.

Q. Can I use Leftover Nutrient Tablets from a Different Seed Kit?

A. No. The nutrient tablets are specially formulated for each Seed Kit. Using nutrient tablets from a different Seed Kit type may harm your plants and result in less than optimal flavor and growth.
