Benefits
Saves time every day
Watering, lighting, and airflow run on a set schedule so you spend less time managing the system and more time on what actually grows your business.
Grow microgreens or baby greens
The 9x30" channels support both crops with no hardware changes between plantings. Run microgreens for faster turnover or shift to baby greens for the salad market. Your planting decision changes the cycle, not the system.
Steady, repeatable harvests
Consistent conditions help your crops grow evenly from cycle to cycle. You know what to expect, and so do your buyers.
Strong output in a small footprint
75 square feet of active grow space from a single rack that rolls through a standard doorway. More product per square foot than any soil-based setup at the same size.
Food-safe and easy to clean
Fans, reservoir, grow channels, and drain channels are all plug-and-play modules that remove cleanly for regular maintenance. No corners to miss.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Your AutoKit includes everything needed to start growing:
- Pumps and plumbing pieces
- Lights and electrical equipment
- Racking
- Reservoir
- Fans
- Grow channels (if selected)
- Reusable grow mats (if selected)
- Assembly instructions and video guides
Yes. The 9x30" channels support both microgreens and baby greens with no hardware changes between plantings. Microgreens run a 9-10 day cycle. Baby greens run 12-18 days depending on variety and sell as salad mixes, which reaches a broader customer base than the specialty microgreens market. Most growers start with microgreens to learn the system, then add baby greens once they've confirmed demand with their buyers.
For microgreens, radish delivers the highest yield per channel and is popular with restaurants. Mustard, cabbage, arugula, and broccoli are consistent sellers at farmers markets and grocery accounts. For baby greens, arugula, mustard, and cabbage perform well and sell as mixed salad packs. A rotation across both crop types lets you harvest something nearly every day of the week and reach more buyer types with the same system.
The AutoKit uses approximately 10 gallons (38 liters) per day. Because it's a recirculating hydroponic system, water consumption is significantly lower than soil-based growing. The reservoir is topped up periodically rather than fully drained each cycle.
The AutoKit uses approximately 12 kWh per day. At average US electricity rates, that's roughly $50-$60 per month in energy costs. The estimated annual operating cost across electricity, water, and consumables runs about $500.
Yes. The AutoKit includes a one-year warranty on all equipment. Contact us for full warranty terms and details.
At full capacity with 20 production channels, the AutoKit yields approximately 24 lbs per week and around 1,250 lbs annually. At a conservative $10/lb wholesale, that's $12,500+ in potential annual revenue. Selling direct to restaurants, at farmers markets, or running baby greens alongside microgreens can push this considerably higher.
We build to order. Allow 3 weeks for fulfillment. Domestic orders of one AutoKit ship in a set of boxes. Domestic orders of two or more AutoKits ship freight. All international orders ship freight and require a shipping quote to complete fulfillment. Contact us before ordering internationally so we can confirm rates for your location.
Revenue depends on your market, what you grow, and how you sell it. At 1,250 lbs annually and $10/lb wholesale, that's $12,500+. Selling direct to restaurants or at farmers markets at $16/lb puts that figure closer to $20,000. Adding baby greens to your rotation expands your buyer base beyond the specialty microgreens market, which can meaningfully increase volume. The most important factor is not the system — it's having consistent buyers lined up before you scale. Growing the greens is the easy part. Selling them consistently is what determines your income.
