Grow, My Beauties, GROW!


I read this post about geeky gadgets to allow you to grow 'plants' indoors. I love how in none of the advertising do they mention 'pot' which would be probably the only thing a geek would use this technology to grow. Well maybe cat grass or mint but that's just me. Like porn on the Internet, the perfect home grow system that is reliable and certain to produce some tasty bud is the holy grail for the shut-in.

I love this little robot guy that can talk to me and find the optimal light conditions throughout the house while wearing the little greenhouse on it's head. That is what I need. Idiot proof gardening but I fear the whole 'taking over the world like Skynet thing. The toaster I can deal with. He is going nowhere. This little guy though is MOBILE and just sneaky enough to hide and ambush me.


I like this improvement on the window 'herb' garden. I can find oregano and basil anywhere. What I need is a system like this to control the 'special herb' (and cat grass) process. The fish I would just be keeping so I could put 'frickin' laser beams on their heads' but that is something I really shouldn't be telling you about.

I definitely need some plant robots! Then maybe my little seedlings would have a chance at life! :)

That's how they get ya. First the robots grow your dope and then they want a cut of it. Not for me, sir! They can grow their own!

Me, I'd like to grow strawberries in that upside down thing. What's stopped me? Thought of rodents sniffing the strawberries and deciding to pick them - bleh, bleh!

I need a new herb garden. I like the design of the last one.

My neighbors just have it right out on the porch...

Wow, real high tech with the fish tank at the bottom. Everything is better with an added fish tank.

The tower one is fantastic! I've been looking for a way to grow an herb garden. (Literal herbs, not any other meaning of the word) As an aquarium nut, I'm excited by the possibilities of using the nitrates from the fish side to fertilize the plants on the plant side. It would work a lot like a mini-ecosystem. Where can you buy those?
