OwnPlant 2

The OwnPlant 2 is an open source outdoor growbox.
It was especially developed so that everyone can grow no matter how small their balcony is. It has a high-quality and therefore very quiet ventilation system that can be equipped with an activated carbon filter. By doing without an LED lamp, the power consumption was reduced by about 90%, which makes it unbeatable in terms of environmental protection and operating costs compared to the competition. No complicated cultivation methods are required, only plants that start to flower automatically Plant and Play. No matter what else may come, you can now ensure the supply of your favourite plant independent of governmental paternalism and industrial additives. It has a 12L water tank and can hold up to 40L of plant substrate, either expanded clay or soil. If expanded clay is chosen, the built-in pump allows for hydroponic operation. Furthermore, it is heated so that planting can be started at the beginning of March and the planting time is extended into autumn. The 16mm double-webbed panels provide appropriate insulation. The construction costs are about 300€ and the construction time is about one day.
