MotherShip Mode
This machine is used to vegetate mother plants as well as propagate seedlings and newly cut clones. Your LED or
400-watt metal halide bulb provides an ideal lighting spectrum for lush vegetative growth. When you are ready to
use the light, turn the rocker switch either up or down depending on which lighting schedule you prefer. You will
have 2 lighting schedules to choose from: the majority of people use 18 hours ON / 6 hours OFF, while some prefer
24 hours ON. The middle position on the rocker switch is the 24 hours OFF position.
Mother Plant Pots
Place the 10” pots in the reservoir and insert the coco coir bricks.

Machine Overview
GroSmart
The GroSmart is the most state of the art control center available. After years of testing and research with data
loggers, we are confident that all functions of the MotherShip are perfect. The GroSmart is pre-programmed to
ensure that your plants have optimal levels of light, air movement, and water/nutrient solution. Please see below on
how to initialize your pre-programmed control center.
The GroSmart is the heart and soul of your MotherShip. Please make sure that before you plug in your machine, all
switches are in the OFF position. You can ONLY set the time on your MotherShip when all of your switches are
OFF.
If adjusting time or looking around at the program in your GroSmart, be careful NOT TO DELETE
THE PROGRAM! We will have to send you a new chip at a cost of $65.
