Nook Maintenance Checklist

Every week

  1. Harvest food that is ready to eat!
  2. Top off the tank with cool water
  3. Add nutrients (only if you added water). If you skipped water last week → double nutrients this week.
  4. Check pH and adjust with pH Down as needed
  5. Prune away dead or dying leaves
  6. Spot check for pests and treat early (the Arber Kit is a great organic option).

Every time you get new seedlings

  • Mist seedlings with cool water and keep in a shaded spot for 1–2 days before planting.
  • Don’t worry about yellowing, torn leaves, or wilting—they’ll bounce back.
  • Always plant with the lights off.
  • Make sure seedlings are pushed fully in their cups and cups are seated in the Nook so plants are watered properly.
