Overview
Key Features:
Hydroponic Technology: Plants grow in water, not soil, with nutrients delivered via a recirculating system, using 95% less water than traditional gardening. The automated water distribution ensures even nutrient delivery, eliminating mess and reducing maintenance.
Dimensions and Capacity:
Footprint: 22" diameter (~4 sq. ft.).
Height: Varies by model: 4'6" (Small, 18 plants), 5'2" (Medium, 24 plants), or 6'7" (Large, 36 plants).
Modular design allows expansion with interlocking extension kits to increase plant capacity from 18 to 36.
What It Grows: Supports over 100 plant varieties, including leafy greens (lettuce, kale), herbs (basil, cilantro), vegetables (tomatoes, peppers), fruits (strawberries), and edible flowers. A companion app provides personalized growing tips and harvest alerts.
Ease of Use:
Assembly: Takes 30 minutes or less, guided by video instructions. Requires a level surface, 6+ hours of sunlight daily, and access to a power outlet and water source.
Maintenance: Minimal effort—add water and nutrients weekly, set the timer for automated watering cycles, and monitor pH with a digital pH pen and pH Down solution.
Uses pre-germinated seedlings ($2.99 each or $2.49 in grow packs), which are 2–3 weeks old, non-GMO, and pesticide-free, ensuring faster success for beginners.
Included Components (varies by kit, e.g., Starter Kit):
Farmstand tower with water reservoir and pump.
Timer for automated watering.
Digital pH pen and pH Down solution for water quality.
QR code to redeem 18 seedlings (curated based on your growing zone and conditions using proprietary AI).
Optional LED Glow Rings (sold separately) for indoor use or shady outdoor areas.
Sustainability: Made from recyclable, durable plastic, the Farmstand is a fully sustainable system that reduces food transport and waste. It promotes healthier eating and environmental benefits by enabling home-grown produce.
Support and Warranty:
Includes a 3-year warranty and a 90-day risk-free money-back guarantee.
Free companion app tracks plant progress and provides tailored advice.
Access to a Plant Guide and customer support for ongoing assistance.
Outdoor Requirements: Operates in temperatures of 40–100°F, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use in most climates. Placement near a power outlet and water source is essential.
How It Works:
The Farmstand’s reservoir holds water mixed with nutrients (e.g., hydroponic fertilizers like Humboldts Secret A & B, sold separately). A pump circulates this solution to plant roots via an automated watering system controlled by a timer. Pre-sprouted seedlings are inserted into the tower’s ports, and the system delivers water and nutrients evenly. The companion app notifies users when plants are ready to harvest, and AI-curated seedling mixes optimize growth based on local conditions.
Additional Notes:
Price: Varies by model and accessories (e.g., Starter Kit with Glow Rings available on Amazon). Check lettucegrow.com for current pricing. Free shipping via standard mail with a confirmation email and tracking number.
Considerations: Not organic due to hydroponic methods, but seedlings are pesticide-free and non-GMO. Requires electricity for the pump and occasional water quality adjustments. Glow Rings are recommended for shady areas or indoor transitions.
Design: Sleek, all-white, curvaceous design gives a modern, “space-age” aesthetic, making it a visually appealing addition to outdoor spaces. As plants grow, it becomes a “living sculpture.”
Benefits:
The Outdoor Farmstand is praised for its simplicity, space efficiency, and ability to produce fresh, flavorful produce with minimal effort. It’s ideal for those with limited space or time, offering a sustainable, consumer-friendly solution for home gardening. Its modular design and AI-driven seedling selection make it adaptable to various household sizes and growing conditions
