From as little as 5 minutes through the cooler months, and 10 minutes or so over the warmer months.
All that really needs doing is checking and adjusting as required your Water, Ph and Nutrients.

Fast growing plants grow better the more light you can give them.
Ideally a sunny deck or balcony that is covered. All My Greens systems have wheels so can be moved depending on the conditions.

Ideally, you would need an outside power point with a RCD (Residual Current Device) built in.

The aluminium is pressed and powder coated in Hamilton New Zealand.
The rest of the components are sourced from a variety of manufacturers from both New Zealand and overseas.
The fertilisers are formulated in the Waikato region.

All My Greens systems have high quality wheels, 2 of which lock, so moving to take advantage ofthe best growing conditions is easy.

Water in a My Greens system will slowly disappear via the natural process of evaporation and transpiration.
Evaporation occurs every time water is exposed to heat, and transpiration is the process where by plants excrete water through their leaves and stems.
In Summer, water levels may need to be "topped up" every second day whilst in Winter that may reduce to only once per week.

The My Greens powdered nutrients are probably best suited to a My Greens system. These nutrients have been sourced from a Hydroponic business that has been making hydroponic nutrient solutions for commercial hydroponic growers for over 35 years.

The frames of a My Greens system are precision made and fit together easily.
Best practice is to follow the instruction guide.

Cuttings and clones of many plants can be established in a My Greens system.
Good results have been achieved with Hoya, Bougainvillea, Thyme, Oregano, Grape cuttings and Hydrangea cuttings to name a few examples.

Please refer to our How To Guide:

Growing your seeds

Seedlings should be grown without any soil.
They should be started in the little rockwool cubes provided and then, once roots start to push through the bottom of the rockwool cube, be transplanted into the Net cups and propped up with the Vermiculite/ Perlite mix before being introduced to their new home in the grow channel.

Plants can definitely be grown in a My Greens system all year round.
Some plants such as coriander will not do well in the heat of summer and others such as Basil will not do well in the cooler months.

Strictly speaking. No.
Organic labelling is applied to plants that are grown in organic certified soils and fed organic fertilisers.
We are actively researching “Worm Juice” as an organic nutrient replacement.
The nutrients used in hydroponics are mainly refined mineral fertilisers.

Because all the required nutrients are supplied in controlled amounts, many growers argue that hydroponic vegetables are more nutritious than traditionally grown crops, including organic crops.
