It's a lettuce competition: "Head to Head..."

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Ha!

[@ivorykeys1566]

From what I heard the guy on "Aerogarden Experiments" channel say, the lettuce leaves curling & browning NEEDS a fan blowing on them & the tomato leaves turning that color NEEDS more nutrients : Calcium to be exact... He used Cal-Mag & the plants looked so much better. He fed a certain amt every other week of regular AG feeding & they turned out great! Might want to check him out for your own channel info. 😊. I'm amazed that there is no pump in the left unit 😮. How are the roots supposed to get oxygen ? Am still enjoying your videos.

[@BrokenBackMountains]

I noticed that your click and grow float was quite high. It should be filled to max level with the top of the tank. I have found the click and grow works very well with herbs and with various chillis. You have to pollibate the flowers yourself. For a system that doesnt need nutrients, the plants keep going for months. I planted piri piri las September. They are still flowering and giving piri piris a year later. I also find that a white surface helps. The click and grow works so well for me, I now have several.

[@valeriesmith15]

Great video, also you can get for the Click and Growt, pro caps with the slits for tomatoes and other fruiting plants, which I have. There were issues about the roots being bound. Green vegetables grow very well in the Click and Grow. Tomatoes with the pro cap grow well. I have two Click and Grow, 9, and I am growing tomatoes and I have fruits, they taste very nice indeed. I have Harvest and Bounty Aerogarden, I also pollinate my tomatoes flowers with an electric toothbrush. Plus, I'm growing tomatoes in a kratky system as well, they are also fruiting.

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Oh very cool! I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for letting me know

[@LJS540]

Interesting video. I am still stumped on how roots are cleaned out of the Areogarden without damaging anything.

[@sargunhanda6706]

I’ve been waiting for this video! Thanks for uploading it :)

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Hope you find it helpful Sargun!

[@my3bsfarm863]

I appreciate your videos and your honesty. Life does happen!

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Thanks so much for your kind words! Life definitely does happen!

[@Goon94]

Been looking at both of these, really enjoy you pointing out the differences. Thanks for the video

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Thanks so much! I’m planning a rematch video soon 😉

[@mikeschaoticgardening]

Excellent video!..appreciate this comprehensive look at both!

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Thanks! I love doing “experiments” just to see what I can learn and share

[@mikeschaoticgardening]

@@The_IndoorGardener awesome!

[@jollojakar8995]

Your videos are excellent. You explain everything a prospective buyer would want to know. Thank you.

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you are finding the videos helpful!

[@frankboyd.]

The Click and Grow didn't have the white wall beside it to reflect more light. I was surprised how inedible the lettuces looked. I think these would be better suited for smaller herbs like basil. Enjoyed the video. In a kitchen you'd be using leaves as they grow so you'd have better looking plants.

[@drawer6815]

This video just helped me make my decision. Thanks!

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Yay! Glad it was helpful.

[@gracechen7615]

I got both at 2 different thrift stores on the same day! I paid $28 for both. I can’t wait until my plants start growing. It’s only been 3 days.

[@The_IndoorGardener]

OMG I’m so jealous! What an amazing find. What are you growing in them?

[@fushiakiss]

Please try out more of the click and grow products like the 25 or the 9

[@The_IndoorGardener]

I have the Click&Grow 25 in a box waiting to be opened! So I stay tuned for some videos on that in the future

[@Real_Name_Redacted]

Great idea for a video

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Thanks! Love doing comparison “experiments”

[@MarkHenderson_]

Great video, have you ever used the Rooto smart garden 2.0? I heard it’s good but not used it myself

[@pvw88]

Thank you very much!!!

[@The_IndoorGardener]

You're welcome!

[@sharonkelly2086]

Hi. Can you possibly tell me if there is a clear chart somewhere that indicates what tray that the different fruits and veggies should be placed on based on size?

[@katemendez3180]

How do you when you take it out? And when you take it out can I use it to grow another vegetable?

[@MarkHenderson_]

What herbs are best for growing indoors?

[@violetquinn3467]

I love my aerogarden but the roots of my DILL are growing out of (above) the pod and IDK what to do or ow to share a photo. It is making it unstable as won’t stand straight. But growing big. Has yours done this?

[@benshanealroberts4140]

can i put a light timer on the sprout?

[@flwolf2000]

Are there organic seed pods available?

[@laticecarpenter5887]

Hello! I love your video, and your shelf that the units are sitting on, can you please tell me where you got it, Thanks!

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Thanks so much Latice! I got the shelf (it’s actually wall to wall, 2 shelves and a desk) from IKEA Canada. It’s called FJÄLLBO

[@laticecarpenter5887]

Thank you so much!

[@Meteortutors]

I was surprised as i have two click n grows but have never seen it as bad as on your video- must have been the float too high? I have grown most things in them without incident or any brown leaves etc! I grew the tomatoes and salad last year and put the tomatoes outside too- they continued fruiting well into autumn.

[@The_IndoorGardener]

I’m going to do a rematch video soon.

[@car_tar3882]

I’d go with AeroGarden because the nutrients are in the water meaning you can theoretically grow a much longer lasting plant

[@annika343]

Hmm, I think the lower tomato has all the fruits because the taller click and grow one naturally pollinated it?

[@MikeAK44]

With LED's you want the lights a few inches from the plant. Theres a reason why it's so low on the click and grow, should have left it as is.

[@The_IndoorGardener]

The target is to keep the light within 4-6 inches from the tops of the plants

[@reid1080]

“-only add the first extension once the plants are almost touching the lamp to avoid tip burn.”. It’s nbd but you definitely raised the light too early

[@jya811]

CG has experiential pods specifically for fruiting plants. Likely the pods used in this video didn't have enough food, and the fruiting pods have more?

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Thanks Jenny…Those new I haven’t seen those before I will need to grab some and do a new test. Thanks for mentioning that! Someone else mentioned the pro-cups which give the roots more space so I grabbed some of those too!

[@jya811]

@@The_IndoorGardener I've used the pro cups before with my CG and yes the roots grow into the water, so I did put nutrients in the water as well and the plants got quite large. I think aerogarden lights are more powerful though so you'll probably still get more yield quicker with aerogarden. 😊

[@growingfoodinsmallspaces8384]

@@jya811 Will be fun to do a rematch!

[@bismarkvillanueva8025]

Ei what if you have your cg as a xmas gift and you decide to grow tomato and no body told you that cg have a different cup with slit for frutbaring that will be a bad start for a novice what will happen to the tomato just like on the video half baked

[@Taylorrputnam]

I used my aero garden (just the light part) to start seeds this year 😂

[@The_IndoorGardener]

I did that this year too! I used the light from my AeroGarden Farm for my soil blocks

[@nalia216]

Do you get pest in your garden?

[@The_IndoorGardener]

It can happen for sure. Staying on top of it is key. I like to keep the yellow sticky traps up so I can see if there is an issue starting

[@darlenetalley9928]

To make it fair, you have to use the pro cups that click and grow offers.

[@The_IndoorGardener]

Hi Darlene, I found out about the pro cups and the new pods for fruiting plants after I did the “experiment”. But don’t worry I am fully planning to do a rematch!

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

I wouldn't buy either of these, but I definitely wouldn't buy the Click & Grow. * You're forced to use their proprietary pods * The amount of growing space is TINY! Basically, the Click and Grow is a subscription service. You want to grow anything? Buy their pods. Or I guess you could buy a bag of potting soil and put them in the grow pots, but I'm not sure what kind of magic soil they're using and not sure if regular soil is packed with enough nutrients to get that kind of growth in such a tiny amount of space. I've printed a 3D hydroponics tower, about 6' tall. So much better. You can grow so much in a 2'x2' space. You could also just buy one of those 27 gallon totes from your big box store drill holes in them, put net pots in them with rockwool/pool foam and your seeds, put nutrients and water in it and put a $30 full spectrum grow light above and get a TON more food. Again, though, nothing beats a hydroponic tower for the amount of food you can grow in a small footprint.

[@lizziexkittyx8650]

Why even do and post a review if you're not even going to capture it? Like just snap even a pic here and there. No one is that busy so this shouldn't even be posted Edit: Ugh even more mention of neglect so how is this even a good experiment?! I come to these videos to learn about these devices to make life and growing easier but of course it isn't even slightly accurate. I suppose the take away is the 2nd one is best for people lazy like me but I don't try to pawn off actual comparison videos. Know not to watch any more of OPs videos for accuracy
