Frequently Asked Questions

By definition, hydroponics means "working with water." It is the method of growing plants both indoors and outdoors without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent.

With our produce payback promise we guarantee that your garden will pay for itself right out of the box. By growing some of your own food, not only do you help the planet but you also help yourself by saving money!

The EVE has the same functionality as the AEVA but smaller. It is designed to fit in the tiniest of spaces, without compromising the quality and efficiency of this vertical garden. In the EVE, the main difference is that the plants are closer to the lights, meaning it is harder for fruiting plants to be grown to maturity.

The AEVA and EVE are delivered assembled to your door so you can get up and growing as fast as possible. We want you to start growing, not spending hours trying to build your garden.

You can put the AEVA and the EVE anywhere indoors, away from any vents. We recommend placing them somewhere where they can stand out and be easily accessible. Be sure to have a standard 110-120 V electrical outlet nearby and somewhere with neutral light and room temperature (18°-25°C). Warmer conditions are usually better for plants.

The AEVA is a little over 5 feet and 9 inches tall (181 cm), 3 feet wide (91.5 cm) and just under 8 inches deep (20 cm).

The EVE is a little over 4 feet and 7 inches tall (145 cm), 3 foot and 5 inches wide (46 cm) and just over 8 inches deep (21 cm).

Both the AEVA and EVE come to your door assembled. You can get growing as fast as possible and don’t need to spend hours building like other indoor gardens would have you doing. We provide many resources to make your setup process the easiest that it can be! If you need additional help, feel free to contact us.

Our units use a combination of Fiberboard, Hardwood Veneer and Plywood.

A standard 120-volt, 3-prong electrical outlet.

Both the AEVA & EVE use $3.56 CAD a month in electricity. This equates to 0.072 kW / per hour.

Grow lights are included with your garden and we recommend 18 hours on and 6 hours off for non-flowering plants and 12 hours on and 12 hours off for flowering plants.

Your seed starting kit comes with a built-in grow light that you can run 24 hours until your seedlings are ready to go!

The AEVA and the EVE have their own self-contained 12L water reservoir. Simply refill the water reservoir every 2 weeks for the AEVA and EVE. Our mobile app is built to notify you when the water reservoir is running low.

You can grow over 200 varieties of plants, anything from leafy greens and herbs to flowering plants like tomatoes and cucumbers. Check out some of the seeds that we carry.

You can expect 5-10 lbs (2-4.5 kg) of food per month in the AEVA and 3.75-7.5 Ibs (1.5-3 kg) in the EVE after the first month of growth. That equals to approximately 35 servings in the AEVA and 25 servings in the EVE of fresh produce each month.

No soil is needed; the AEVA and EVE use grow plugs made from peat moss, an important component that releases moisture to plants as needed.

Growing with the AEVA and the EVE means you are growing non-GMO and pesticide-free produce.

For basic and optimal care for your plants, it is recommended to use fertilizers. The AEVA and the EVE use organic and salt-based liquid nutrients as fertilizers. To learn more about caring for your AEVA and EVE, consult the AEVA User Guide here or the EVE User Guide here.

You can grow 16 plants at a time on the AEVA (8 per side), and 12 plants for the EVE (6 per side). Unlike other indoor gardens, the AEVA and the EVE are designed for you to help organize and grow larger plants.

You can use one or the other for both plants but it should be noted that flowering plants will do better with Aqua Flora and non-flowering plants will do better with Aqua Vega.
