Nutraponics Indoor Hydroponic Growing System – Tower Garden with LED Grow Lights – 80 Pots | Indoor Garden System

The Nutraponics indoor hydroponic system with lights is a sophisticated method of growing plants that combines the science of hydroponics with the power of artificial lighting. Our system is designed to maximize plant growth and productivity by providing optimal conditions for plant development, regardless of the external environment.

Hydroponics, at its core, is a method of growing plants without soil. Instead, plants are grown in an inert medium such as perlite, Rockwool, or clay pellets, and nutrients are delivered directly to the plant roots via a nutrient-rich water solution. This method allows for precise control over the nutrients the plants receive, leading to faster growth rates and higher yields than traditional soil-based gardening.

The incorporation of lights in our indoor hydroponic system is a game-changer. These are not just any lights but specially designed grow lights that can mimic the full spectrum of sunlight. They provide the necessary light energy for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. By adjusting the light spectrum, intensity, and duration, growers can control plant growth stages from germination to flowering.

LED lights are often used in indoor hydroponic systems due to their energy efficiency, longevity, and ability to produce a wide range of light spectrums. They can be customized to emit specific light wavelengths that cater to the needs of different plant species or growth stages. For instance, blue light is beneficial for leafy growth, while red light stimulates flowering and fruiting.

The indoor hydroponic system with lights is typically housed in a controlled environment like a grow tent or a greenhouse. This setup allows for the regulation of temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels, further optimizing the growing conditions.

The beauty of this system is its versatility. It can be scaled from small home setups for hobby gardeners to large commercial operations. It allows for year-round cultivation of a wide variety of plants, from herbs and leafy greens to fruits and flowers, irrespective of the season or weather conditions outside.

In conclusion, an indoor hydroponic system with lights is a highly efficient and sustainable method of cultivation. It offers the promise of urban farming, food security, and the joy of gardening to those who may not have access to traditional outdoor gardening spaces. It represents a significant leap in agricultural technology, combining the principles of plant science with the advancements in lighting technology to create a system that can produce high-quality, nutritious crops in any indoor setting.

How easy is it to use your hydroponic system?

• Our indoor hydroponic system is designed to be easy to use, even for beginners. The system comes with clear instructions and all the necessary parts, so you can set it up and start growing your plants right away.

What are the dimensions of the 80-pot hydroponics growing system?

• The 48-pot tower is about 5’-6” tall and measures about 2’ in diameter. The lights extend out about 12” at each section. We do have smaller towers with 64-pots and 48-pots. We also have other towers with LED grow lights and that are larger and can grow up to 100 plants.

Are seeds and nutrients included with the purchase?

• We do not use proprietary seeds or grow pods – this is mainly to reduce the costs to our customers, avoid monthly subscriptions that can get very expensive, and restrict the growth of a wide variety of plants, which is possible with end users getting their own seeds at a fraction of the cost locally from stores like Home Depot of Lowe’s.
  
  Additionally, grow pods are usually filled with chemicals and other genetically enhanced ingredients to speed up growth, and we try to keep our ecosystem void of any chemicals.
  
  As for the nutrients, it’s the same as the seeds – it’s significantly cheaper for end users to get their own nutrients. There are numerous brands and options available both online and locally. You can pick the nutrients best suited for the type of plants you grow – there are chemical-free nutrients, and there are those specific for growing green leafy veggies like lettuce, spinach, and kale.
  
  We want our customers to refrain from bearing the added cost of growing their farms by selling branded nutrients when they can get cheaper options. The seeds and the nutrients are readily available and cost about $15-$20 each month, depending on how many towers you plan to use.

Can I start growing fruits and veggies directly from seeds using Nutraponics?

• Yes. You can directly plant seeds into the provided growing medium- sponge in this case, and wait for the seedlings to sprout. Once you see the roots, you can then begin to use the hydroponics towers. You can place the growing medium directly into the provided mesh pots and begin watering them. Keeping the growing medium moist and in a dark and slightly warm space is key. Once the seeds begin to sprout and you see roots, you can then transfer the pots to the tower and start the water flow mechanism.
  
  Alternatively, you can also place the pots in the tower and skip the transfer. Simply ensure that you keep the growing medium moist, as the water system will be ineffective until the seedlings start to bear roots.

What are the benefits of using your indoor hydroponic system?

• Our indoor hydroponic system offers a number of benefits, including:
  -Increased crop yields: Hydroponic systems use less water and nutrients than traditional soil-based gardening methods, which can lead to increased crop yields.
  -Faster growth: Plants grown in hydroponic systems grow faster than plants grown in soil, so you can harvest your crops sooner.
  -Fewer pests and diseases: Hydroponic systems are less prone to pests and diseases than soil-based gardens, so you can grow your plants without having to worry about them getting sick.
  -Controlled environment: Hydroponic systems allow you to control the environment in which your plants grow so you can create the ideal conditions for them to thrive.

What kinds of customer service do you offer?

• We offer excellent customer service, and we’re always happy to help you with any questions or problems you may have. We have a team of experienced horticulturists who can provide you with advice on how to grow your plants successfully.

How easy is it to set up and install your indoor hydroponic system?

• Our indoor hydroponic system is easy to set up and install. The system comes with all the necessary parts and instructions, so you can have it up and running in no time.

What kind of maintenance is required for your indoor hydroponic system?

• Our indoor hydroponic system requires very little maintenance. You’ll need to add water and nutrients to the system on a regular basis, and you’ll need to clean the system every few months.

Could you tell me more about the amount of power the 80 plant system uses, along with the specs for the LED grow lights?

• In addition to a simple 24W powered water pump, the 80-plant tower with the grow lights has the use of LED.
  Power: 8.835w
  Luminous flux：275.1lm
  Radiation flux:2.987W
  Lighting effect:31.14Lm/w
  The light quantum number: 11.508umol/m2/s
  Photosynthetic radiation flux:2 631mW(400-700nm）
  PF:0.9360
  Voltage : 219.62v (220v)
  Electricity: 0.04298A
  
  Based on a national average of $0.12c per kWh and a 16 hr daily average use of LED lights, the Cost Per Year is estimated at $6.31 per light. We have 12 of these per tower, so the total cost of use of the tower would be $75/year.
