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.
