Personalize Your Light Timer  
(optional)  
Your AeroGarden 3 has a built-in light timer that automatically provides your plants with the optimal amount of  
“sunlight” (17 hours) and “night” (7 hours).  
*
As long as your plants get this amount of light, it does not matter when the light is turned off. Many people find it  
convenient to have the light go on in the morning and off at night to match their own wake and sleep schedule.  
*The exceptions to this are Flower & Vegetable plants. They require a daily dark period in order to produce flowers. If plants will receive  
any room light during the day (natural or artificial) we recommend setting your AeroGarden 3 light to be on during the day.  
If you would like to change the time of day your light will go ON…  
Decide what time of day you want light to go ON.  
AT THAT TIME, unplug AeroGarden 3 and plug it back in.

Bulb  
Now, each day, your AeroGarden 3 light will automatically  
• Turn on at the time you plugged in your AeroGarden 3  
• Remain on for 17 hours  
• Turn off for 7 hours  
You can reset your timer as often as you want.  
In case of power failure, AeroGarden 3 has a backup system that stores nutrient and grow bulb timer settings.  
You will need to manually reset the off-on cycle for your light (see above) to return to your previously selected  
light setting.
