Frequently asked questions
What is the V-GRO 5-Tier Growing Tower?
The V-GRO 5-Tier Growing Tower is a vertical grow tower that ships flat-packed: five modular tiers, 30 net pots and the ASA plumbing kit. You add a pump and a reservoir (a food-grade bucket or tote works). It stacks together by hand and grows 30 plants in about one square foot of floor, with no soil.
Do I need experience to build it?
No. The tiers stack together by hand and the pump sits in your reservoir. If you can stack boxes, you can build it.
Is it aquaponic or hydroponic?
Both. It was designed for aquaponics, where plant roots and grow media act as a living biofilter for a fish tank, and it runs hydroponics just as well with a nutrient reservoir. Most growers start hydro and add fish later. The tower itself doesn't change; only what sits in the base does.
What can I grow?
Leafy greens and herbs do best: mint, basil, lettuce and similar crops. Each tower has 30 plant sites across five tiers, so one unit runs a full herb garden and salad rotation. Stack two for sixty.
What is GrovOS?
GrovOS is our farm-management app at grovos.app: crop records, water readings and an AI agronomist. It is free to use. Every kit comes with a code for 3 months of GrovOS Fleet, the tier for more than one farm. Read about GrovOS.
