A hydroponic
lab on your counter.
A self-contained 10 litre DWC system with Arduino dosing, thermo-electric climate control and a 50-satchel nutrient pack. No grow tent, no LED array, no daily measuring.
Eight systems,
one enclosure.
Built for the counter
Zero tents. Zero grow lights. A matte-white HDPE reservoir sized to sit on a kitchen worktop or office desk.
8 L working volume
10 L bucket, 8 L actual fluid line, 2 L air cavity. The root zone gets oxygen, the plant gets a stable water line.
Arduino autopilot
Open-source control board running dual 12 V peristaltic dosing, pH and EC monitoring, and the chiller loop.
Precision dosing heads
Two 12 V peristaltic pumps deliver micro-dose top-ups. No syringes, no measuring cups, no daily checking.
Thermo-electric climate loop
Peltier plate with fan and heatsink holds the reservoir at 18–20 °C regardless of room temperature.
Medical-grade probes
Glass pH and EC electrodes sampling continuously. Live readings on the display, no manual testing pens.
50-satchel master pack
Pre-measured, moisture-proof pouches. Acetate, Grow A/B and Bloom A/B portioned per 8 L charge.
20-day harvests
Butterhead lettuce and cherry tomatoes from a countertop system — no lamps, no climate tent.
What is in the box.
Requires a standard household outlet. Air pump, controller and chiller together draw under 40 W in normal operation.
Turn one bucket
into twenty-one.
21-Site Clone Lid™
“One bucket, twenty-one cuttings.”
A moulded replacement lid with twenty-one propagation sites around a central collar. It seats on the same 10 litre bucket, so the kit you already have becomes a propagation station without buying a second reservoir.
- Sites
- 21 propagation + 1 centre collar
- Fit
- 10 L / 2.6 gal DarkGrow bucket
- Material
- Injection-moulded HDPE, light-blocking
- Use
- Cuttings, microgreens, early veg
- Price
- $49
Density without a second reservoir
Twenty-one sites at reduced EC runs cuttings for a full cycle in the same 8 L volume. Halve the per-site satchel dose.
Microgreens on water only
Pea, radish, sunflower and broccoli finish in 7–12 days with no nutrient charge at all — just keep the water line up.
Eighteen things
you can grow.
Lettuce & leaves
Butterhead, romaine, oakleaf, chard, spinach, pak choi, rocket, tatsoi, mizuna, watercress.
Herbs
Basil, dill, parsley, coriander, mint, chives. Compact, fast and forgiving in DWC.
Fruiting & root
Cherry tomato, chilli, compact pepper, dwarf aubergine, strawberry, dwarf corn, container potato.
Microgreens
Pea shoots, radish, sunflower, broccoli — 7 to 12 days, harvested before they need a reservoir.
Hardware, nutrients,
and a crop plan.
One box, one outlet, one counter. Everything except the seeds and the water.
