Which pods & nutrients fit your smart garden?
Own an AeroGarden, Click & Grow, Gardyn, Rise or a generic countertop garden? Tell us the brand or model and we will show the pods, grow sponges and nutrients that fit it -- OEM where it exists, plus the cheaper aftermarket/DIY options that fit the same deck. We read 16 system families and do not guess.
Tower Garden HOME / FLEX (aeroponic vertical tower)
Open format OEM-confirmed Refillable
Pod format: OPEN net-cup: standard 2-inch net pots holding Grodan-style rockwool cubes -- you germinate your own seed in rockwool, then drop the net pot in the port. NO sealed pod, no scan-chip.
OEM pods: Tower Garden Net Pots 30-pk ($19, 'fits FLEX or HOME'), Rockwool Cubes 98-pk, Net Pot & Rockwool Combo, Seedling Starter Kit.
What fits (aftermarket / DIY): HIGH compatibility: generic 2-inch slotted mesh net cups substitute; any inert medium (rockwool, coco, clay pebbles) works; start from any seed.
OEM nutrient: Tower Garden Mineral Blend A & B (2-part; ~20 mL A + 20 mL B per gallon full strength).
Aftermarket nutrient: Any complete 2-part hydroponic nutrient at the right EC (GH Flora etc.); leafy greens ~EC 0.8-1.2 (400-600 PPM). (Community-reported substitution, not a spec-equivalent OEM statement.)
Heads up:
- Sold mainly through a Juice Plus+ MLM rep network -- 'recommended' consumables are pushed by reps, but generic 2-in net cups + generic A/B work.
- HOME's smaller ~13 gal reservoir drifts EC faster than FLEX's ~20 gal -- re-dose more often. Rockwool needs a pH pre-soak or germination suffers.
Many "compatible" / DIY methods are COMMUNITY-tested, not manufacturer-endorsed -- match the physical format (basket diameter, pod type) and dose by the AFTERMARKET nutrient's own schedule, not the unit's reminder light.
