Startup Launches GrowChef – The Ultimate Hydroponic Food Generator
An optimized garden solution at home – harvest delicious fresh greens every single day!
Tallinn, Estonia July 23, 2017 - Now, it’s possible to grow nutritious, tasty and fresh food at home faster and easier than ever, thanks to GrowChef, an easy-to-use hydroponic garden, specially designed to let users harvest one pot of greens per day. GrowChef is designed to be used wherever it best suits its user, be it on a wall, on the floor, on a window sill, or in a closet. With its three-color LED illumination, GrowChef produces enough light on its own so there’s no need for additional daylight. Requiring minimal space, it produces the same harvest as a 3 meter long garden bed. Easy to operate, app-supported, and designed to save users time and money, the GrowChef is the optimal growing solution for anyone who wants to successfully grow greens at home.
GrowChef has 51 pot slots, and can provide users with one pot of greens daily. GrowChef doesn’t have any soil, only nutrient solution and vermiculite, allowing for a twice as fast maturation rate. Once a month a nutrient solution is poured into the slot at the bottom level of the device, and it’s then pumped to fill all three levels automatically every 20 minutes. It then flows back to the lowest level and gets aerated by a non-pressure system, specially developed by GrowChef. The lighting works by a timer which automatically turns the lights on in the morning and off in the evening, but timer settings can be easily changed using the GrowChef app on a smartphone.
GrowChef is designed in three levels, allowing plants to thrive – the grow pots are placed at the top, and stay there until the seeds have germinated and reached 3-5 cm. The pots are moved to the middle level and kept until they reach a height of 10-12 cm, before being moved to the bottom level where they ripen.
The level design and a carefully calculated spacing system ensures sure the plants get the most light when they need it the most, and that the plants have enough space to grow and don’t block light from each other, ensuring a lush and healthy produce.
“I’m delighted to bring people a new original opportunity to have fresh herbs on your plate every day! GrowChef helps you to eat healthier, reduce your shopping list and expenses. After two and a half years of experiments we’ve figured out how to perfect the hydroponic farm to constantly provide you with ready-to-eat plants", says founder Viktor Pjatnitski.
