Overview
Key Features
Hydroponic System: Uses Hybriponics™ technology, a soil-free method that circulates nutrient-rich water to plant roots, saving 95% less water than traditional gardening. Plants grow in yCubes (compostable pods with seeds in rockwool) inserted into yPods along two vertical columns.
Space-Efficient Design: Occupies only 1.4 sq. ft. and stands 4 feet 6 inches tall, making it ideal for small spaces like kitchens or corners. It’s crafted with premium materials like brushed aluminum, BPA-free recyclable plastics, and a rubberwood lid, blending functionality with a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Smart Technology: Features Kelby, an AI-powered assistant that monitors plants 24/7 via a high-resolution camera and sensors (temperature, humidity, water levels). Kelby automates light and water schedules, provides harvesting alerts, and offers personalized plant care tips through the Gardyn app. The app also supports live plant monitoring, timelapse videos, and Vacation Mode to pause growth while saving energy and water.
LED Lighting: Energy-efficient LED grow lights mimic sunlight, enabling year-round growth of tall or vining plants without natural light. A single light pole ensures optimal coverage, with a sunrise/sunset mode for adaptive lighting.
Water Tank: A 4-gallon tank supports the system’s self-watering mechanism, requiring refills every few weeks. The system quietly recirculates water on a smart schedule.
Plant Variety: Supports over 100 plant varieties, including herbs (basil, mint, cilantro), leafy greens (lettuce, kale, Swiss chard), vegetables (cherry tomatoes, peppers), fruits (strawberries), and flowers. Starter kits include 16 non-GMO, organic plants, with three pre-packed sets to choose from. Users can buy additional yCubes or use seedless yCubes for custom seeds.
Yield: Produces 4-5 pounds of produce monthly, enough for daily salads for two. Lettuce can be harvested multiple times over 4 weeks, and herbs remain fresh for up to 12 weeks.
Sustainability: Uses zero pesticides, reduces food waste, and features recyclable packaging and compostable yCubes, aligning with eco-friendly practices.
