Seedling
Germination Stage
- Add water to the seedling tray, up to the water (red) level.(Fig1)
- First-time sprout: just open the seedling box and add water. Then go to step 4. (Fig 1)
- Second time sprout: Open Grow Sponge package,put each sponge piece into the water of the seedling tray (make sure the front side with the seed label is side up), press the sponges into water for 5 seconds, and ensure the sponges absorb water completely. Put seed moisturizing cover on the sponges.(Fig2)
- Place the seedling tray with cover in the shade.(Fig3)
- Suggest using Watering Spray water to sponges and keep them wet everyday.
- During 0 ~ 7 days, find the sprouted ones in the tray; pick them out, and move them into product (make sure the sponges lineup with the black dot on the partition)(Fig4) and to next stage: B2. Young Plant Stage.
- Discard unsprouted sponges after regular germination time.
- In each sponge, keep strong plants and cut the other weak plants.
- The different plants may have different germination time, please check before plant.
Plant Stage
Young Plant Stage
- Add 10.5 gallons of water to the water tank.
- During Young Plant Stage turn on LED and Pump. Please refer to the Chart
- Add adjustment into the water tank and ensure EC value between(=1.0-2.0mS/cm)
- A spoon=lq/B spoon=5g/C spoon=10g
- Ensure pH is between 5.5-and 6.5 (adjust by pH+/). For EC& pH adjustment instructions, please refer to the following Chart at below.
- A spoon=lg/B spoon=5g/C spoon=10g
Growing Stage
When plants grow to over 2 inches in height, switch the control box to auto mode. Please refer to Chart II.
- After 4-6 weeks, harvest the larger plants for consumption and keep smaller plants growing.
- For time-saving, sow the new seeds in a sprout tray one week before you start the next planting process.
Sprouts and Microgreens
- Before you start the next seedling, take advantage of the seedling tray for sprouts and microgreens. It takes 7-10 days to harvest.
- Put seeds in warm water(recommended temperature is 95, not over 104 ) for 24 hours.
- Cover the sponges with wet paper towels.
- Place the seedling tray with cover in the shade or cover it with black cloth.
- After germination, during the growing stage, keep the green sprout under the light and white sprout in the shade or cover it with black cloth; in 7-10 days, you can harvest.
Optional Accessories
- Black Cloth Cover
- Anti Insect Net
- 500W Water Auto Heater
Maintenance
F1. Add Water
