Farmstand Maintenance Checklist

Every week

• Harvest food that is ready to eat!
• Top off your tank with cool water. If growing outside, check your water level mid-week if it’s hot (85°F+).
• Add nutrients (only if you added water). If you skipped water last week → double nutrients this week.
• Check pH and adjust with pH Down as needed
• Prune away dead or dying leaves
• Spot check for pests and treat early (the Arber Kit is a great organic option).
  
• Confirm all your seedlings are slightly damp to the touch. If something feels dry, check to see if roots from a plant above are clogging the drain holes. Trim roots or relocate plants if needed.
• If growing indoors, consider adding a fan nearby your stand to increase airflow and promote healthier growth.

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 your Farmstand so plants are watered properly.
  
• Make sure your timer settings are appropriate for current climate conditions. Link to Indoor timer or outdoor timer instructions.

Every 3 months

• Reset your Farmstand—outdoor or indoor!
  
  • Keeping your modules clean and refreshing your tank with new water is key to continuous success with your Farmstand.
