Priced at US$799, the unit introduces several innovations to the consumer market.
Advanced lighting and control systems
The micro plant factory features a unique lighting system tailored for green leafy plants, offering a photosynthetic photon flux exceeding 150 μmol/m²/s, which is conducive to robust plant growth. Additionally, it includes a pioneering UV light feature designed to keep its ten-gallon water reservoir bacteria-free.
