Price is a tad high, but a very neat product. This would do well in Canada. There are many new laws going into effect very soon. I am just wondering has this went through crowdfunding campaigns, or is just pre-selling directly on the website?
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.
@jeff_nolan Great points Jeff! The LEDs, environmental control and nutrient dosing are some of the unique features that make this all work. Our LEDs are designed in-house from the ground up which allows us to trigger different chemical reactions in the plants to make them grow shorter and more dense. On the nutrient side, for example, we measure the nutrients in the water both before and after watering which tells us what the plant is consuming.
The recipes are what make all this possible. We have pre-programmed which wavelengths of light and what optimal nutrient levels are required throughout the grow cycle this helps the plants grow faster than normal. Our community members can also create and share recipes for any plants that are not already in the app!
