FAQs

  • Owning an automated hydroponic grow shed has several benefits. First, it allows for year-round cultivation, regardless of the weather conditions outside. Second, it uses up to 90% less water than traditional farming methods, making it more environmentally friendly. Last, it produces higher crop yields due to the controlled environment, resulting in more efficient use of space and resources.

  • The main difference between a hydroponic grow shed and a traditional garden is that hydroponics uses water and nutrient solutions to feed plants, while traditional gardening relies on soil. Hydroponics also allows for greater control over growing conditions, such as temperature, light, and nutrients, resulting in higher crop yields and more efficient use of space and resources.

  • Absolutely! You can customize the exterior color of the automated hydroponic grow shed to match your house color at no additional cost. Our goal is to ensure that the shed enhances the beauty of your backyard and complements the existing aesthetics of your home.

  • The required area for an automated hydroponic grow shed is approximately half the size of a parking space. Since hydroponic systems are designed to maximize space, they are perfect for small areas with limited room.

  • An automated hydroponic grow shed can grow a variety of plants including leafy greens, herbs, cannabis, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and even some fruit trees. The possibilities are endless!

  • Yes, automated hydroponic grow sheds can be customized to fit your specific needs. You can choose the type of hydroponic system, lighting, and other features to optimize your growing experience.

  • The installation time for sheds varies depending on whether they arrive pre-assembled or need to be built on site. If arriving pre-assembled, sheds can typically be installed within a few hours. However, if they need to be built on site, installation may take up to three days.

  • An automated hydroponic grow shed requires some regular maintenance, such as checking and adjusting pH levels, monitoring water and nutrient levels, and cleaning the system. However, compared to traditional gardening, the maintenance required for hydroponics is minimal.

  • Temperature and humidity can be controlled utilizing ventilation systems, air conditioning, and dehumidifiers. Some systems even come equipped with sensors and automated controls to regulate temperature and humidity levels directly from your phone.

  • The amount of water required will depend on the hydroponic system you choose. However, our system utilizes up to 90% less water than conventional farming techniques, guaranteeing efficient water usage.

  • The amount of electricity your shed consumes depends on the type of system, as well as the amount of lighting and other equipment used. However, all systems are designed to be energy-efficient and can be run on one dedicated 20A circuit.

  • An automated hydroponic grow shed uses sensors, pumps, and timers to monitor and control the growing environment for plants. It typically involves a closed system in which plants are grown in nutrient-rich water and artificial lighting is used to simulate sunlight.

  • The maximum yield you can expect from your grow shed depends on various factors such as the type of the system, the variety of plants being grown, the quality of the nutrients, and the level of automation. However, hydroponic systems are known to consistently produce higher yields than traditional soil-based growing methods.

  • Our recommendation would be to use HygroLogic brand nutrients in all of our systems, as they are specifically designed to optimize growth in a hydroponic environment.

  • The frequency of replacing the nutrient solution in your automated hydroponic grow shed depends on the size of the system, the type of plants being grown, and the quality of the nutrients. As a general rule, the nutrient solution should be replaced every 1-2 weeks to prevent the buildup of salts and other minerals that can harm plant growth.

  • You can use any water source for your automated hydroponic grow shed as long as it is clean and free of contaminants. We’ve included a replaceable filter to ensure contaminant free water when filling reservoirs.

  • Yes, you can grow plants year-round regardless of the weather conditions outside. This is because the growing environment is fully controlled and optimized for plant growth. With the help of artificial lighting, temperature control, and humidity control, you can create the ideal growing conditions for your plants and grow them all year long. This means you can enjoy fresh produce even during the winter months when traditional outdoor gardening is not possible.

  • The automation feature in our grow shed works by using sensors to monitor the growing environment and adjusting various parameters such as temperature, humidity, nutrient levels, and lighting based on predefined settings. This ensures that the plants receive optimal growing conditions at all times.

  • Yes, you can use your grow shed to make money. Hydroponic farming has become increasingly popular in recent years, and there is a growing demand for fresh, locally grown produce. You can sell your crops at farmers' markets, online, or to local restaurants and grocery stores.

  • It's possible that your neighbors may envy you for having a beautiful grow shed that produces fresh and high-quality produce all year round. Nevertheless, it's important to be mindful of your neighbors and share your harvest whenever you can.
