Filling your reservoir for the first time

When you're ready to transfer seedlings and fill the base of your Airgarden reservoir for the first time only, follow these instructions:

Step 1) Fill with water

  • Open the access port at the top of the base reservoir and use a hose to fill with cold water to 5mm below the power cord channel (approximately 75 litres)
    • NB: if you’re living in an apartment you can purchase an indoor tap adapter and hose. 

Step 2) Add nutrients

  • Add 190-200ml of Part 1 solution and stir with a large cooking spoon or similar utensil
  • Wait for 1-2 minutes (this is important)
  • Add 190-200ml of Part 2 solution and stir
    • NB: When maintaining your Airgarden, you’ll add 2ml of each nutrient for every litre of water added.

Step 3) Test and balance your PH levels

  • Use the supplied pH Kit and take a sample of the reservoir water using the test tube (only fill half way). 
  • Add 2 drops of indicator solution to the test tube and compare the colour to the indicator chart.

  • If pH is high add between 1-2ml of pH Down (if it is low, add pH Up) and re-test. You should use a dropper to measure precisely
  • Repeat steps until you reach the target pH
