 New Bulbs Every 6 Months October 8, 2007

14 out of 15 found this review helpful
I've had two gardens for over a year now with great success. I purchased two more seed kits (lettuce) and at the same time purchased new bulbs. I just changed the bulbs out in one unit to see if new bulbs really would make a difference, and after a few weeks the difference in growth rate was remarkable. It seems to me that the unit with the new bulbs probably grew about 33% faster. I'd highly reccomend changing these out regularly to ensure a maximum growth rate!

AeroGarden Salad Greens Seed KitI am mainly responding to the "3 star" review from the previous reviewer wherein he states that he likes the product, they work well and have lasted over a year and haven't burned out yet etc. That's a paraphrase but the point is the same. First, if he liked them SO much why "3 stars"? Oh well. These bulbs are bright, very bright and the ONLY bulbs to use in the AeroGarden system. They should be replaced EVERY 6 months for maximum efficiency-CLEARLY stated on the page and the brochure with the product. Bulbs of this type do NOT burn out when they are no longer producing enough quality light for plant growth. Human eyes won't detect a change in the bulb's light output but plants will. These bulbs are what they are. Mine last for a very long time also but plant growth is diminished so accept this as a fact and replace every 6 months. A small price to pay for herbs etc within an arm's reach! It's somewhat akin to changing your water filter. The water may LOOK the same but the quality is diminished. Just the way it is!AeroGrow AeroGarden Garden Kit, Black

I've had 3 aerogardens (all 7-pod) going since November '08. They are all in the same room and on the same 'lights on/off' schedule so I never really noticed the bulbs getting dimmer. Because they appeared to be fine, I didn't change them with the second planting. Nor the third...ACK!!! Out of 3 new garden plantings, 2 failed completely and the third looked like a scene out of Terminator Salvation! Horrid.
I had replacement bulbs for each unit stored in the cabinet, but just didn't think they actually needed replacing. When I ruined those 3 new 'gardens', I decided maybe, just maybe, the instructions knew more than this smarty-pants did.
I wondered if it truly was my lack of attention to detail or just a few compromised seed pod sets (I was betting on the latter, of course!) I left the sick, decrepit gardens in place and changed the bulbs in all 3 classic units. Holy Cow, did I need my sunglasses and sunscreen! Such brightness! I never realized how dull the old bulbs had gotten until I changed them. Within 2 days of the new bulbs being in place, all 3 gardens began to revive. That was 2 weeks ago and now I have healthy, abundant, great looking romaine, baby greens and tomatoes growing again. I thought I was going to have to trash those entire gardens and order new sets but the bulb change was nothing short of awesome. Never again will I pinch pennies and try to make the bulbs last longer than they should.
Change the bulbs as instructed. Your gardens will be astronomical!

This is the second order of these AeroGarden replacement grow bulbs. The first two have now been use for about a month and are performing well. The current order (two bulbs) is being held in 'backup.'
Good as new October 6, 2008

AeroGarden Classic Replacement Grow Bulbs, Package of 2When I started my second garden, I read that the grow bulbs should be replaced around nine months. Since my garden had sat unused for a little while, I ordered replacement bulbs and within a week of receiving them, the little flashing light told me I needed to replace them. It was easy to do and my garden is flourishing. Thanks, Amazon.
