FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any experience to use your growing kit?

Not at all. Our kits are designed specifically for beginners. Everything you need is included, and we provide a step-by-step Getting Started course so you'll be up and running in under an hour.

What can I grow in a Hydro & Co. tower?

You can grow a huge range of leafy greens, herbs, and vegetables — lettuce, basil, kale, spinach, mint, parsley, chives, bok choy, and more. Most plants that don't need deep root systems are perfect for our towers.

How much light does my tower need?

Your tower needs 12–16 hours of light per day. A bright windowsill works well for herbs; for faster, denser growth on leafy greens, we recommend a basic grow light (available soon in our store).

How often do I need to top up water?

Typically every 3–5 days, depending on how many plants you're running and how fast they're growing. The reservoir holds enough water to keep your plants happy for several days at a time.

What nutrients do I need to add?

We include a starter nutrient pack with every kit. After that, any balanced hydroponic nutrient solution works — we'll have our own blend available soon.

What is the Canopy Riser for?

As your plants grow taller, they can start to overlap and shade each other out. The Canopy Riser is a 10.5-inch tower extension spacer that stacks between any two modules to give taller plants more vertical breathing room. It snaps on without tools.

Do you ship across the United States?

Yes! We ship to all states and territories. Orders over $75 qualify for free shipping. Fresh produce boxes are currently available for local delivery only — check the product listing for your area.

Can I return my kit if I change my mind?

Yes — unused, unopened items can be returned within 30 days. See our full Refund Policy for details.
