Details

The Grow Cube / Grow Box is an indoor hydroponic setup which can be used to plant and grow seedlings, micro-greens, lettuce, and other plants up to a height of about 75 cm (around 3 ft).

Ideally, the system will monitor temperature and relative humidity with the goal of adding PH testing as well as EC (electrical conductivity) monitoring as well. It would also be possible to have an automated feed schedule for the plants.

The lighting will be provided by 1W or 3W full spectrum LEDs on an automated power on / power off cycle.
