Climate, light and irrigation run on their own, with alarms to your phone.

More than barley
The unit sprouts barley, maize, sorghum, legumes and clover, and mixed seed blends as well. Each seed carries its own growing programme in the controller: soaking time, irrigation rate, lighting hours, temperature and humidity, and cycle length. You select the programme and the unit runs it.
