Moving Unsprouted yCubes Not Ready for Plant Food from Gardyn to Nursery/Tray

When Kelby detects that the majority of your plants are already sprouted and tells you it's time to add a sprout dose of plant food, you'll need to double-check for any yCubes where you do not see growth above the rockwool. These plants need more time to germinate, and should continue to do so off your Gardyn in a Nursery or tray with a ventilated lid. This allows the seeds to continue feeding the plant with all the nutrients needed to sprout, as plant food can inhibit germination.

Before removing the unsprouted yCubes from your Gardyn, manually activate a watering cycle from your app by tapping the Water Level tile, then toggling water to on (green). This will give your yCubes a drink of water before removing them so they have plenty of moisture to continue germinating. Don’t forget to add the ventilated lid!

Remove the now-empty yPods and add covers, like Gardyn Caps, to help prevent interior algae growth along with anything unwanted from entering your Gardyn. Hand wash and air dry the yPods for later use. If you're using the older Pod Caps instead, keep the yPod in place to ensure the cap fits correctly.
