This next growing system is entirely automated. It is run from an app on your phone For growers who want to produce a large number of plants with minimal time investment, an indoor grow system is the way to go. Indoor grow systems allow for year-round production, a controlled environment, and consistent results.
When choosing an indoor grow system, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, you’ll need to decide on the type of lighting you want to use. LED lights are becoming increasingly popular due to their energy efficiency and long lifespan. However, they can be more expensive upfront. Second, you’ll need to choose a growing medium. Soil is the most common type of medium, but it can be more difficult to control the watering and nutrients. Hydroponic systems use a nutrient-rich water solution and can be easier to manage, but they require more attention. Lastly, you’ll need to consider ventilation and climate control. Indoor grow systems can produce a lot of heat, so proper ventilation is essential. Climate control will help to keep your plants healthy and prevent them from becoming stressed. By taking these factors into account, you can choose an indoor grow system that will meet your needs and give you the best possible results.
For those of us who do not mind the effort, enjoying the process is key to success with a growing system. The grow system recommended for this purpose is the 36-inch wide wire 5-shelf system with an adequate number of trays. This system will accommodate 12 trays per system. However, it is important to note that the success of this system will depend on the number of grow lights used. If you only have a few trays, then you may want to consider using fewer grow lights. Otherwise, you may find that your plants do not get enough light and they will not thrive. In addition, it is important to make sure that the trays are big enough to accommodate the roots of your plants. If they are too small, your plants will not be able to take advantage of all the nutrients in the soil and they will not grow as well. Overall, if you are willing to put in the effort, a 36-inch wide wire 5-shelf system with an adequate number of trays is an excellent option for those who want to enjoy the process of growing their own plants.
This is the basic wire rack on casters for easy mobility. Trays come basically in two sizes. 7 inch by 10 inch and the most common for those who want larger crops, 10 inch by 20 in. These trays come with and without holes. You will need an equal number of both. You will also need extra no-hole trays regardless of what size.

An example of the 10 inch by 20 inch, this is the industry standard for those with a desire to grow and sell microgreens.
This is a tray with drainage holes.
This is a tray without drainage holes. You will need more of these trays than the ones with drainage holes. Here is why, once the seeds have germinated and you’re just starting to see the sprout, the best practice is to put a lid on the tray. The easiest way to do that is to flip a no-hole on top. especially for those microgreens that take a little longer to harvest. This gives your plants an opportunity to grow straight rather than leggy and crooked. The recommendation is at least half the number of trays again. The initial crop will most likely have every tray at the same point at the same time, but subsequent crops will grow at be at different points of growth.
