What is Growa?

Growa is an app-controlled, automated, indoor grow cabinet for year-round, organic cultivation.

Constructed from sustainable materials, Growa's elegant design integrates seamlessly into any interior.

Individually handcrafted in the UK, Growa has a minimal carbon footprint and facilitates the growth of the highest quality, organic produce.

When you purchase your Growa you get access to ‘The Growa Method’, developed by experts, to ensure you attain all the fruits without the labour.

Further information about Growa

Growa incorporates high quality components to ensure that the growing process is reliable and reproducible, with minimal maintenance.

Low-noise intake and extractor fans make sure that air is continually circulated around the developing plant, ensuring optimum growing conditions. Before air exits Growa, it passes through a filter packed with activated carbon to absorb any odours.

The high efficiency, energy saving LED light produces full-spectrum light output, for speedy growth and maximum harvest. The automated light is app-controlled and has two integrated fans providing excellent heat dissipation, so the unit remains cool at all times.

Monitoring of the internal growing compartment is undertaken by a built-in temperature and humidity sensor, with the data accessible via the app. This can be used in conjunction with the HD video camera to provide remote observation of the developing plant and its environment, with the data sent straight to any smart device.

The water reservoir has an automated integral pump and watering is controlled by the app using any smart device.

If any herbs need drying after harvesting, then the inbuilt system allows this to be undertaken effectively, ensuring the best possible preservation of the crop.

Growa has a breathable fabric pot that optimises root development and contains nutrient rich organic soil. Plant friendly mycorrhizal fungi, in the supplied root boost granules, form a natural symbiotic relationship with the developing plant to produce a healthier and larger crop.

The door is held securely closed with a strong magnetic catch and can only be unlocked with a special device, meaning that your Growa is secure and ‘child-safe’.

Everything required to grow healthy, organic plants all year round, is included. The app-controlled Growa comes fully assembled, with all the components in place and connected. Simply plug it in to an electrical socket and begin growing!

How the vision grew

The concept behind Growa was conceived by UK artist and designer, Jamie Barrett.

Jamie wanted to create an indoor grow system that people would be happy to include in any interior setting. It had to be aesthetically pleasing, automated and discreet. He built a prototype and it was used to effectively grow a number of high yield, organic plants.

Following this initial success, after extensive testing, a local manufacturer was identified who has been able to scale up the production of Growa but still retain the high quality and charm of the original design.
