Colorado-based gro.io created a next-gen indoor hydroponic grower they describe as “a best of breed system that combines the most beneficial aspects of Recirculating, Deep Water, Ebb and Flow, and Drop systems.” It’s tough to disagree. This multi-functional automated hydroponic equipment is foolproof and designed to transform novice growers into master growers. Whether it’s intelligent automation, precision dosing, or intuitive aeration, gro.io has fulfilled its mission to “develop the absolute best technology for hydroponic growers.”

So what makes the gro.io so revolutionary? For one, the system comes with a full suite of growing sensors designed to eliminate the guesswork out of growing herbs, flowers, leafy greens tomatoes, etc. Whether it’s auto pH dosing, EC dosing, system flushing, water aeration, or automatic top-off, gro.io has a built-in monitoring system that empowers the user every step of the growing process. The end result: optimal conditions with grow cycles in as little as eight weeks.
Equipped with an iOS-compatible companion app, the gro.io system delivers real-time growing data including water pH levels, nutrient PPM, temperature, depth, flow, and leaks. By simply opening an app, you have access to a wealth of information that assists you every step during grow cycles. From low pH buffer solution to scheduled system flush reminders, gro.io hydroponic system can transform your indoor space into a never-ending harvest.
“With water-level sensing and automatic hydroponic filling, you never need to worry about low water conditions again.”
The gro.io system is fully expandable from three to six growing buckets. By combining aeration injection with super oxygenate technology, users can double their hydroponic yields in a short amount of time. Using “downward water injection for complete and healthy hydroponic aeration,” the gro.io allows users to simply schedule the frequency and duration of the water flushes for “massive doses of growth-activating fresh air.” In other words, gro.io is extremely calculated with its aeration process.
With the option to purchase the gro.light modular system or to use your own grow lights, users can control the lighting schedule for every plant and strain. By combining both adjustable side light bars with LED edge spacing, you have one of the most sophisticated lighting systems for hydroponic growing. If you already have grow-lights, simply plug them into the gro.hub smart outlet and program an optimal lighting schedule from your gro.io smart app.
Backed by 4GB of flash storage, 1 GHz ARM Cortex processing unit, 10+ smart sensors, and 5 dosing pumps, the gro.io is the world’s most sophisticated hydroponic operating system. From visualizing up-to-the-minute growing data to customizable programs tailored to each plant type, the over-the-air (OTA) interface will keep you updated on the latest advances in hydroponic technology and keep you connected to fellow growers.
