further processes them. These same elements are contained directly in the nutrient concentrate solutions, without
any further processing required by the plant. Furthermore, having your garden indoors means that there are no
detrimental effects from the weather, such as heavy winds, flooding, or excessive heat. For these reasons, plants
will grow more quickly in your Indoor Garden Kit than they would when planted in conventional soil.
Does growing vegetables attract insects?
Your hydroponic garden kit should be insect-free, since it uses no conventional soil, so there is no opportunity for
insects to lay eggs. We recommend keeping your garden in a clean environment and regularly cleaning up the dust
and fallen leaves, to make sure it does not attract bugs.
Does the LED light produce any harmful UV rays?
The LED light system does not generate any ultraviolet radiation, because it is not necessary for plant growth.
What is the best location to place my Indoor Garden Kit? Do the plants require any additional natural sunlight?
Your Ivation® Indoor Garden Kit only requires a power connection to operate. However, in order to more easily
facilitate the transportation of water to and from the kit, it can be advantageous to place the kit in a room with
easy access to a sink or a faucet. You can place the kit in your bedroom, in your kitchen, or even in a basement, as
the ideal growth conditions for your plants are facilitated by the kit’s systems. You should not, however, place it
on any balconies or terraces, regardless of whether they are open or closed. Too much sunlight, too high of a
temperature, and other weather effects can hurt the growth of your plants.
Is it acceptable to plant plants in different growth phases directly next to one another?
The more mature a plant is, the stronger its roots and the bigger its leaves are. Both of these factors can affect the
growth of smaller plants that might be in the vicinity of a more well-developed plant. Therefore, newer plants
should always be planted a sufficient distance from existing ones.
Why can’t nutrient concentrates A and B be mixed?
Mixing concentrates A and B results in a chemical reaction that forms insoluble sediments. The plants cannot absorb
these sediments, and thus the two solutions cannot be mixed.
How often should the nutrient concentrate solution/water mixture be refilled?
For optimal results, always mix the nutrient concentrate solutions with water directly before filling the reservoir. Do
not mix extra and try to save it for future refilling, as it will most likely not hold up. While your plants are small, the
nutrient solution should be replenished every two (2) weeks. Once they are transplanted to the larger reservoir
and plant bed, the frequency increases to every 3-5 days.
Can algae growth occur in my Indoor Garden Kit?
Algae can occasionally develop in the water tank, but this is safe, natural, and not harmful. To reduce the risk of
algae, make sure to regularly clean the water tank with disinfectant, and cover any plant bed holes not in use, so
the light does not shine directly into the water.
