A Bounty of Benefits from Hydroponic Farming with Produce’d
Welcome to a world where indoor farming revolutionizes the way we grow and consume our greens. At Produce’d, we are passionate about hydroponic farming, and we want to share the multitude of benefits it brings to your life. From faster growth to a greener thumb, there’s a reason why hydroponics is taking root in households everywhere.
Faster Growing Plants
Hydroponic farming is like a growth accelerator for your plants. Without the limitations of soil, they absorb essential nutrients faster, resulting in quicker growth and more bountiful harvests. Say goodbye to the waiting game of traditional farming. With our signature GrowUp solution we carefully coordinate the ratio of Nitrogen – Phosphorus – Potassium to allow you plants to grow.

Taller Plants
Reach for the sky with hydroponics! Our systems allow your plants to grow taller and stronger, giving you a lush indoor garden that’s as beautiful as it is functional. Not only do the plants grow quickly, but with our capability for vining plants you can have your tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplant trellis up the cables on each GrowBlock.
Fewer Dead Plants
Hydroponic farming minimizes the chances of plant mortality. With precise control over nutrients and environmental factors, you’ll enjoy a garden with fewer casualties. Easy to access plants in 38 pods also let you prune and dead-leaf plants as they grow up ensuring that the growth is going to be productive.
Meaningful Volume
Whether you have a green thumb or aspire to be a hydroponic enthusiast, our systems are sized to cater to your volume needs. Grow what you need, when you need it. But this is more than a countertop vanity project, for indoor home farming to count it needs to be a part of your meal planning and prep. The GrowBlock’s size is based on what a productive food garden at a home in an urban or suburban setting could produce.
GrowUp Nutrients
Our proprietary blend of GrowUp nutrients is the secret sauce behind thriving hydroponic gardens. Your plants will receive the perfect blend of minerals and vitamins to flourish. We teased the blog dedicated to this topic earlier in the list, but it’s worth sharing again. GrowUp is green juice for your plants that are fed directly to the plants roots to help them grow in a soil-free environment. This is all natural ingredients for your plants, there are no pesticides or other chemicals in our solution.
Pest-Free and Pesticide-Free
Hydroponic farming reduces the risk of pests and eliminates the need for harmful pesticides. Enjoy cleaner, greener produce without the chemical residue. Eating healthier isn’t just about what you put in your body, but it’s about what you don’t put into it too! The National Institutes of Health says that pesticides introduce significant carcinogens to our bodies. When your food grows in your home you know what goes into, and when your farm gets incredibly productive you can use a little home-hack we’ve made to spray down your plants with natural ingredients.
Healthier Living
Fresh, nutrient-rich greens at your fingertips mean healthier living. Elevate your diet with homegrown goodness that’s free of preservatives and chemicals. Imagine if your week consisted of a trip to the farmer’s market and the rest of it grew right in your living room or kitchen – that’s how you can live with our GrowBox recurring service. Plants arrive to your home, they grow, you get daring with dinner – first a side salad, then some garnish and soon you’re whipping up basil pesto because you can. (You can find a few green favorite recipes here if you are new to the grab-and-go power of indoor farming).
Soil-Free Cleanliness
Say goodbye to messy soil. Hydroponic systems keep your plants clean, making them an ideal addition to your indoor space. The only mud you’ll have to worry about is what your kids and pets bring in the house, and they don’t usually come bearing a bounty of fresh herbs and veggies.
Mental Health Benefits of Vitamin D
Our built-in lighting systems not only nurture your plants but also provide you with the benefits of Vitamin D. Brighten your space and your mood with the GrowBlock. It’s already been proven that Vitamin D is important for addressing seasonal affective disorder, but on top of that scientists now say that being around plants and greenery holds a host of benefits for our emotional well-being and stress reduction!
Family Meal Planning
Hydroponic gardening encourages family meal planning. Harvest what you need, when you need it, for fresher and more sustainable meals.
Maintenance Reminders
Our systems come with recurring schedules and reminders for maintenance, ensuring your garden stays thriving year-round.
All-Season Farming
No more dependence on fickle weather. Enjoy all-season farming in the comfort of your home, regardless of what’s happening outside.
Cost Savings
Save on grocery store expenses by growing your own produce. Hydroponic farming is not just environmentally friendly but wallet-friendly too.
Happiness in Greenery
Having plants in your home has been proven to boost happiness and reduce stress. Surround yourself with lush greens that bring joy to your life.
Gardening All the Time
Hydroponic farming allows you to nurture your inner green thumb year-round. Cultivate your love for gardening without the limitations of seasons. Between the demands of our busy days or the difficulties we face as we age – an indoor farm allows you the meditative practice of farming everyday. With five minutes of pruning and cleanup each day you walk away happier and feeling more productive.
STEAM Curriculum
Engage younger family members with hydroponics as a part of their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) curriculum. It’s a fun and educational way to learn about biology, chemistry, and sustainability.
Reduced Pollution
By reducing the need for long-distance transportation of produce, hydroponic farming contributes to a cleaner environment with lower pollution levels. How’d those Strawberries from Mexico get to Atlanta during the winter? You guessed it, a combination of fossil-fuel intensive transports and sophisticated refrigeration equipment that is destroying our planet delivers your winter strawberries right now. Imagine if you could save the one-way trip to Mexico and walk to your kitchen for fresh strawberries – even in the heart of winter.
Less Wasted Food
Harvest only what you need while the rest continues to grow. Say goodbye to food waste and hello to sustainability. Let the numbers sink in: Americans throw away the equivalent of 149 billion meals worth over $444 billion. Every. Single. Year. Let’s be part of the change, 38% of what you buy gets thrown out, but with your greens growing on the vine and in a pod nearby, you can reduce those numbers.
Build Resilient Ecosystems
Hydroponics is a step toward a waste-free world. By using less water, producing less waste, and promoting sus
tainability, you’re building a more resilient ecosystem. As we’ve seen each year our Summers get a little warmer and dryer and our winters more unpredictable, outdoor plants cannot easily survive the ups-and-downs. That’s where our year-round GrowBox service comes into play – no matter the season or the climate you can grow the herbs, veggies and greens that you want.
Water Efficiency
Traditional farming uses excessive water, but hydroponic systems are incredibly water-efficient. Conserve this precious resource while growing your greens. These systems conservatively save 70% of the amount of water a traditional farm uses, but indoor small solutions like the GrowBlock can even save upwards of 99% of the water that you would normally need to grow plants.
Conclusion
At Produce’d, we’re dedicated to bringing these benefits into your life with our hydroponic indoor farm service. Join us in creating a greener, healthier, and happier future, one hydroponic plant at a time.
