Grobo

Hey everyone - I'm one of the co-founders of Grobo and we are super excited to be featured on ProductHunt today! If you want to learn more or have any questions, please let us know, we're happy to help!

At first I thought but then after looking at it, it's a lot more and actually REALLY well done. Great job!

Hey Product Hunt! We're so excited to share Grobo with you. Thanks @joshdance for hunting us! Grobo is a fully-automated, app-controlled indoor gardening system that helps anyone easily grow fresh food and medicine at home, all year long. We know there have been other home gardening systems that have popped up on PH, but we're doing things a little differently at Grobo. We wanted to make the most beautiful, intelligent, and easy to use system. The system should fully care for your plant, while being a showcase for your growing prowess at the same time (hence the opaque-to-transparent glass front). Grobo uses pre-made plant growing "recipes" and an array of sensors to insure that your plants are always growing with the optimal temperature, humidity, light, water, and nutrients. We've also designed our own LED light system that utilizes different light colours to mimic the sun and help your plants grow better. We launched on our website last week and are continuing to accept pre-orders until the end of the month. We’ve received a lot of great feedback already, and are excited to hear what the PH community thinks! Thanks for all the support!

This is awesome @bjornthinks & co. Congrats on building such a beautiful and elegant solution to a growing problem (#pun)

Hi All, Chris from Grobo here (and the other cofounder). I'm head of the technical team at Grobo so if you have any questions with regards to the mechanics, electronics, or plant related aspects of the unit I can help you out :)

it's pretty expensive for an indoor gardening system that is 14"x14". On the plus side, there is a good amount of vertical space so I can see something like strawberries doing very well. Tomatoes, 1 plant max (I know there are some varieties that are much more compact but are not favored for their fruit) and it would be tough to succession plant at the same time. The LED light system and integrated watering is nice, but in all fairness, that's table stakes for indoor gardening systems these days, and often at 1/5th of the price. I am interested in learning more about the Recipes.

That looks cool, I can't imagine how difficult it was to engineer. I notice you ship to both North America and Europe, do you offer appropriate power cables for each region? What sort of warranty do you offer?
