Who It’s For
New commercial growers getting their first system
- You're starting your first production setup and want something that's easy to learn, easy to run, and delivers steady harvests from your very first cycle.
StarterKit growers ready to automate
- You've built your routine and proven your market on the StarterKit. The AutoKit takes everything you've learned and runs it with less daily intervention.
Hobby growers ready to take production seriously
- You've been growing in trays or small setups and want a real system. The AutoKit is the step that turns a hobby into a repeatable operation.
Automation that cuts daily labor and keeps your grow on track
How many hours a week do you spend watering? With the AutoKit, it is zero. Set the schedule once from your phone and the rack runs watering, lighting, and airflow. You show up to seed and to harvest, and the system runs everything in between.
It grows microgreens or baby greens. Run microgreens on an 8 to 10 day cycle, or shift to baby greens for the salad market on a 16 to 17 day cycle. You choose what to grow each planting based on what your buyers want.
Consistent conditions mean crops finish evenly and on time, which means less waste, fewer surprises, and more reliable income.
What you gain
- Zero hours a week spent watering, the pump, lights, and fans run themselves
- More predictable harvests and less crop loss
- A system that runs the same way every cycle
- More time to grow sales instead of managing equipment
- A compact footprint that rolls through a standard doorway

Proof it scales
By All Means Microgreens, a two-person team in Gaylord, Michigan, went from 14.5 lbs a week in soil and coco trays to 917 lbs in 2025, in the same grow space. They started with one AutoKit in August 2024 and added a second within a year. Waste runs under one pound per harvest.

International Shipping Available
The AutoKit ships worldwide. Prefabricated components are packaged for safe long-distance transit so the system arrives ready to assemble.
Configurable to Your Stage
Twenty channels grow at one time, with the rest of the forty in germination, so there is always a crop coming behind the one you are cutting. Add reusable grow mats to take soil out of your cost line.

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 9" x 30" 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 all 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 9" x 30" channels support both microgreens and baby greens with no hardware changes between plantings. Microgreens run an 8 to 10 day cycle. Baby greens run 16 to 17 days 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 move to baby greens once they have 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. Rotating your plantings 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 is 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 is roughly $50 to $60 per month in energy costs. The estimated annual operating cost across electricity, water, and consumables runs about $600 to $700.
Yes. The AutoKit includes a one-year warranty on all equipment. Contact us for full warranty terms and details.
With 20 channels growing at one time, the AutoKit yields an average of about 24 lbs per harvest and around 1,250 lbs annually. At a conservative $10 per lb wholesale, that is $12,500 or more in potential annual revenue. Selling direct to restaurants, at farmers markets, or moving to baby greens for part of your rotation can push this higher. These are estimates, not guarantees. Run your own numbers in the ROI calculator.
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 per lb wholesale, that is $12,500. Selling direct to restaurants or at farmers markets at $16 per lb puts that figure closer to $20,000. Working baby greens into your rotation expands your buyer base beyond the specialty microgreens market, which can meaningfully increase volume. These are estimates, not guarantees. The most important factor is not the system. It is having consistent buyers lined up before you scale. Growing the greens is the easy part. Selling them consistently is what determines your income.
