Fyi "basil" is not the same thing as "thai basil"
It has Thai basil and “genovese” basil

I've had pretty good luck at transplanting after the herbs get big. Also a dehydrator is nice.

Love Thai basil. Makes everything kind of taste like crawfish boil

Is it aeroponics or hydroponics?

Everything refers to it as hydroponics, not sure what the difference would be. Novice gardener with a shriveled brown thumb.
It looks like Miracle Grow bought them out and shut them down, which is shit.

Hydroponics is generally where roots sit in water
Aeroponics is generally where roots sit in air/environment with precipitating humidity

Both of them grow extremely fast in these aero gardens

That's a really good deal, especially if it came with a seed pack.

I'm still trying to figure out how to bonsai it so that it doesn't overtake the entire thing and end up as a woody mess with a couple leaves pressed right up against the LEDs. I end up restarting my basil every year because so far I have been unsuccessful. I use a lot of basil and make a lot of pesto, but it's never enough.

So we don't have one of these fancy-shmancy setups, we have an indoor greenhouse.....pod....thing....with dirt.....
ANYWAY
Pinch off the flowers as soon as the start to come up, don't even let them open. We've been keeping the same basil plant going for 4 years, and just propagated 2 new ones from cuttings. Apparently once they flower they basically give up and go all woody and beg for death.

I recommend that you focus on lettuce rather than herbs. From my experience you can never keep up with the amount of basil that will pop out of that thing.

I’ll probably switch to salads once I get the hang of it. I do have a dehydrator and work has a food pantry, so I’m sure it’ll all end up being used.

It gonna be weed ain't it?

God damn. That unit looks like something you find in the futuristic labs of Deus Ex and System Shock 2.
So that's where all the Ambrosia's going
