Multiple ways to grow – Harvst

Your Harvster is a versatile growing system, for leafy greens, salads, microgreens, or just as a propagator for preparing seedlings to grow on elsewhere.

No soil is needed; everything the plants need is provided by nutrients added to the water tank. This is known as hydroponic growing, and it allows you to use clean, inert growing media such as coir or clay balls, which can be reused. It’s also efficient with water, and great for low-effort indoor growing.

The smart nursery provides a warm, climate controlled environment for germination, and then from there on, plants continue life in the growing trays.

The nursery can be kept at the desired temperature for germination, and has a powerful LED grow light to give strong seedlings. When seedlings are strong enough, they are moved up to a growing tray.

There are 4 main ways to use the Harst H-series:

Net cups

Generally with one plant per cup. The net cups are distributed around the main growing area depending on the expected fully grown plant size, and held in place by net cup trays.

Seeds are sown in coir jiffy pellets which are germinated in the nursery. Each seedling is transferred into a net cup when stronger.

Small pots

Multiple seeds per pot. Pot filled with inert media such as coir or combination of coir and clay balls.

Seeds sown directly into small pots, and germinated in the nursery.

Microgreens

Seeds are sown over a thin layer of coir in a microgreens tray. Trays can be germinated in the nursery, and then transferred to a growing tray.

Bottom watering

Use the tray just for bottom watering any plants you wish to keep in it.

You can use a combination of net cups, small pots and bottom watering in a single growing tray. Microgreens are best grown exclusively in their own growing tray, with the lights dropped close to the plants.

If you mix growing techniques, remember that all plants on all levels will be receiving the same nutrients and watering times.
