Hydroponic Grow Kits, Set of 3

We're more than familiar with a last-minute farmer's market run to pick up fresh herbs for a recipe — but what if the farmer's market was, you know, in your kitchen? This three-piece kit by Modern Sprout gives you everything you need to grow your own parsley, basil, baby kale, arugula, and mint at home, with as little effort as possible. Just fill the bottom chamber up and wait — the hydroponic tech will wick exactly as much water as your plants want, directly into their roots. And just so you know: this system yields more productive plants, more quickly than analog grow methods do. Fresh basil, here we come.

All units include instructions for successful growing. Grow Kits require at least 4-6 hours of direct light daily, and should be put in an unobstructed window that faces south, west or east (southwest is the best option). During winter months—or if you don’t have an unobstructed window—you can supplement with a grow light. Because the unit is self-watering, additional water should only be added once the water chamber is empty. Seeds take 7-14 days to sprout, and will be ready to start harvesting in 1-2 months.

Modern Sprout was started by a couple looking to create a garden in their Chicago apartment and having no luck growing plants on their own. Looking into hydroponics, they found lots of exposed tubing, grow lights, and plastic buckets. They decided to collaborate with a master grower and create a beautifully designed and easy to use hydroponic system, along with lots of other easy grow options. The business started on Kickstarter and is currently sprouting up in homes all over the US.
