About Seeds
-
You should only have to add plant food once a week. Our app can walk you through how much to add. There may be times when you add more plant food than last time, this is because your plants are getting older. Or you may add less than a previous week, this is because you have added young plants to your garden and need to lower the amount of nutrients.
-
Many of our seed varieties are organic! However, our varieties depend on seasonal availability, so we cannot guarantee that all of our seeds are organic.
-
Our seed pods are made from a combination of coco coir and peat moss!
-
For big veggies (like eggplant, tomato, and cucumber) a Family Garden is ideal, as it offers extra growing space to allow the plants to flourish. Our smaller veggies (like lettuces and herbs) can be grown in any of our Garden models (Family Gardens and Personal Gardens).
-
Yes! We encourage our gardeners to try new plants. You can use Seedless Pods to grow your own plant varieties. Note that our seed varieties have been tested and approved by our Plant Scientists to grow well in a hydroponic environment. We cannot guarantee that other plants will grow well using our hydroponic system.
-
All of our seed pods have a shelf life of ~1 year, if stored in a cool, dark environment (between 30°F and 40°F). For more information, check out our guide for seed storage on our Help Center website
-
To change out a plant simply harvest the leaves or fruit from your plant, cut it at the base, carefully pull the net cup out with the roots attached, throw out or compost your roots, and clean the net cup. We recommend using a 1:2 vinegar to water mix whenever cleaning your system. Soap can leave residue and potentially unwanted bubbles.
-
To start a new plant place your pre-seeded plant pod into the provided nursery and wait the appropriate time for the seed to sprout. Once it has sprouted, it is now big enough to go into your system. Because you need this nursery stage, make sure to plan ahead when thinking through what you are going to grow and when you harvest.
-
To start a new plant, remove one from your box of 4 plant pods and place it inside a net cup. Then, put your pod into your nursery, add water, and wait for your plant to sprout. Once it grows to be about an inch tall, then you can put it into your garden. If you put a plant directly into your garden and you have added nutrients, you may risk your plant not germinating.
-
The system has enough light from the LEDs to grow your plants from start to finish. However, if you want to give your plants an extra boost, put your system near a window. Even though we have engineered a light panel to maximize growth, we are nowhere near the power of the sun.
