Fresh Organic Food, Anywhere Because hydroponic growing methods don't use soil, you can bring your garden indoors without the mess. The ALTO GARDEN GX Hydroponic Tower is a fully contained, fully automated system which takes up less than three square feet in your home. Watering is performed by a water pump (included, with timer) which pumps water to the top of the tower. Gravity brings the water back down, watering roots along the way. Plant roots are also exposed to more air in a hydroponic tower, which leads to faster growth and quicker harvests. Thoughtful Design and Features You don't want pots that are cramped too tightly, or your plants will crowd together and compete for light and water. Our wide-spaced pot design gives plants plenty of room to grow fuller, and more healthy. Lights on the GX Tower can be adjusted to accommodate plant growth. Keep the lights close to the tower when they're young, and move them farther away as they get bigger. Each layer of the tower is a solid 360 degree one-piece construction. This means there are no leaky joints. Our 2mm thick walls are industry-leading. And our reservoir tank has a removable lid that makes re-filling a breeze. Easy to Use and Convenient The ALTO GARDEN GX Hydroponic Tower is easy to use, with automated lighting and watering. Since the tower recycles water up and down the tower, it provides exceptional water efficiency vs. watering a soil garden. Plant roots are suspended in net pots inside your tower for aeroponic growing, providing high levels of oxygen exposure which accelerates growth. Watch your fruits and veggies get bigger and bigger every day. Harvesting is exciting, and delicious! ALTO GARDEN GX Hydroponic Tower - Feature Highlights The LED grow lights have a built-in timer so you can automate lighting directly on the tower. No messy downloads, no Wi-Fi required! Each layer of the tower is a solid, 360 degree one-piece body. Widely spaced pots prevent plants from crowding and competing for light. Convenient water gauge lets you know the water level inside the reservoir tank. Large 10 gallon tank reduces the need for constant re-filling. Wheels make the tower easy to move, and rotate around during harvest. Tower LED Grow Lights Included Plants need light to synthesize sugar (food) from water and carbon dioxide in the air. Our broad spectrum LED grow lights provide all the wavelengths your plants need, to ensure they receive the right frequencies for healthy plant growth. But did you know, that plants also require periods of darkness too? That's right - you can't just leave the lights on 24 hours a day. That would be like humans never getting sleep! All that growth would tire them out. That's why the built-in automated timer is so important. Starter Kit Included You will receive in the box: A + B nutrients (10 ounces each), rockwool cubes, a PH test pen and 3-head germination light with clamp. The included A + B plant nutrients have been precisely formulated for use in hydroponic systems. Simply add to your reservoir tank and your plants will receive all the needed nutrients to grow and thrive! 30 x rockwool cubes are also included. These cubes measure 1.75" x 1.75" for a snug fit without wobbling in your net pots. Measure PH in seconds with the handy digital test pen. And the germination light is key for indoor seed starting. Specifically designed for the germination stage - with added blue light for super-healthy seedlings!
