"Why Soil First?" Technical Insights

Plug-and-Grow Simplicity

Initial MVP features simplified setup using soil-based cultivation—minimal mechanical complexity and higher reliability for initial users.

No pumps or nutrient mixing required

Natural Root Development

Promotes organic, naturalistic root structures, ideal for educational environments, hobbyists, and early-stage research trials.

Better for classroom observation

Low Upkeep & Maintenance

Efficient 1-liter reservoir capacity, refills typically required every two weeks. Easy-to-clean surfaces and antimicrobial materials minimize maintenance requirements.

Monthly cleaning recommended
