PLANTING SEEDS
Garden container
1. After 24 hours, your seeds should have little sprouts
emerging from the top. Even if they do not, please
continue with this process.
2. Connect the power cable to the garden container and
turn it on. After the unit completes its self-diagnostic,
turn on the LED lighting.
3. Set the seeding box on top of the garden container and
keep the lights on until the roots have grown out of the
sponge to approximately 0.6" (1.5 cm). Make sure to
continue maintaining the appropriate water level.
Please note, this process can take some time
(3-7 days) depending on the type of seed, and
you may need to add a little more water every
other day, so that the seeds do not dry out.

NOTES:
• The garden container features an intelligent lighting system that automatically begins a cycle of 13-14 hours of light
followed by 10-11 hours without light, to mimic the cycle of day and night. The timing may vary slightly. In order to
properly boost the growth of your seeds, we recommend that you begin the lighting cycle around 5:00-9:00AM.
- Didn’t set it up at the right time? Don’t worry, just disconnect the power cable at the correct time, leave it off for
about five (5) seconds, and then plug it back in and turn the lighting on. This will reset the activation time for the
lighting
cycle.
• The little sprouts you see emerging from the seed are the roots of your plant. If you provide too little water, the roots
will wither, and if you provide too much water, the sponge may develop algae growth. Always make sure that the
water level reaches approximately ⅓ of the way up the sponge.
• The duration of this phase of the growing process will vary from seed to seed, but generally takes about 5-7 days.
However, certain plants can take up to 14 days to produce roots of the appropriate length.
We recommend the use of our included nutrient concentrates. Naturally, you can use other nutrient concentrates
if you’d like, but we cannot guarantee their success.
