Pod Features
Automated Growth
We designed The CryptoGrow Pod to automatically set growing conditions based on your plant's genes, age, and soil to optimize the quality and quantity of your final product.
Once you've answered our five setup questions, the CryptoGrow Mobile App will automatically adjust the Pod's ecosystem parameters to provide your cannabis plant with the individually optimized conditions. This means adjusting things like airflow, lighting intensity and duration, soil aeration and hydration, and watering rate.
As your plant matures through its various stages of growth and harvest, the Pod will automatically adjust conditions as necessary -- like increasing watering rate to hydrate the soil and flush it of nutrients pre-harvest, providing your plant the time it needs to maximize terpene concentrations.
Sit back, light up, and let your CryptoGrow Pod do the heavy lifting -- you won't regret it!
Manual Control
Though we designed the CryptoGrow Pod to automatically optimize growing conditions, we also know there are experts and adventurers among us!
Growing conditions in the Pod are fully adjustable through our Mobile App, available on iOS and Android, allowing you to tweak specific variables throughout your plant's lifecycle and grow weed exactly the way you want to, every time.
Adjustable Conditions Include:
Lighting Control -- intensity, scheduling, and toggle on/off
Humidity Generation -- adjust with +/-10% accuracy using 1.7mhz disks
Temperature Control -- measure and adjust with +/- 1 degree C accuracy
Water Maintenance -- measure tank fill with +/- 2% accuracy, adjust release, and aerate
Airflow -- control base fan airflow and dual intake/exhaust activated carbon filters
Sculptural Display
At CryptoGrow, we're determined to take weed out of the closet and into the living room -- bringing its growth and benefits into the mainstream.
That's why our design team spent so much time ensuring the Pod's external appearance was elegant and refined, delivering you a product intended to take center stage in your home.
Its minimalist design features a 360 degree glass display, allowing you to view from any angle, and dual activated carbon filters ensuring undesired scent is minimized throughout the process.
Wifi & App Enabled
The CryptoGrow Pod is designed with custom-made chips to connect to your smartphone via your local WiFi network.
Simply download our Mobile App for iOS or Android and follow the simple steps to link your Pod with your Grow NFT -- that's all it takes to get growing!
After that you'll be able to control your Pod's ecosystem conditions on the go, wherever you may be. So long as you have internet connectivity, you'll know exactly how your plant is doing.

Pod Specifications
Though the CryptoGrow Pod is designed to automate your ecosystem conditions to give you the most out of your grow, experienced users can also manually control the Pod environment!
Control Features Include:
Lighting Control -- intensity, scheduling, and toggle on/off
Humidity Generation -- adjust with +/-10% accuracy using 1.7mhz disks
Temperature Control -- measure and adjust with +/- 1 degree C accuracy
Water Maintenance -- measure tank fill with +/- 2% accuracy, adjust release, and aerate
Airflow -- control base fan airflow and dual intake/exhaust activated carbon filters
Lighting
2x CREE Full Spectrum Agricultural LED @ 55W, Total 110W
More light than a California sunny day... as much as the plant can take!
2x 60 degree optics to focus the light
95% Trans diffuser to evenly disperse light
Easy-Zip Mylar Blackout Blind Slip Cover
Provides 100% blackout conditions for your chamber so you can accurately recreate lighting conditions of outdoor growing during flower cycles.
Heating
The CryptoGrow Pod uses a series of PWM (programmable) fans, sensors, and air inlets to measure and recycle head produced by our built-in LEDs.
Our Heat Composting system allows you to manage internal chamber temperature while optimizing energy efficiency and minimizing waste.
Excess heat, trapped in the lid, is recirculated through our base extrusions when required to maintain optimal growing conditions for your plant.
Humidity
The CryptoGrow Pod uses 1.7mHz piezo disks to vibrate at high frequencies, breaking water up into small particles and creating relative humidity in a process called "atomization".
Our built-in air circulation, lighting, and water controls allow for the easy extrusion of excess humidity, allowing growers to increase or decrease relative humidity to optimize their plant's cycles.
Relative Humidity is the amount of water vapor present in air expressed as a percentage of the amount needed for saturation at the same temperature. It is a critical environmental component in growing cannabis, impacting the yield, flavor and appearance of the plant throughout its grow cycles.
Soil
Our mobile app asks early on in your grow what type of soil you'll be using, allowing the machine to automatically optimize growing conditions with precision soil moisture control.
Precision soil moisture allows us to manipulate root growth. When water is hard to find roots reach deep and wide. When water is readily available, the plant does not focus on root growth as much.
Periodic dry cycles can actually increase water and nutrient up take later on because they encourage growth i.e. bio mass i.e. the more roots the more uptake.
Adding water is the responsibility of the grower, so we reward you for doing so with our Grow NFT rewards tokens!
Hydration
Our built-in AirPump emits in the water tank, aerating the water and encouraging healthy microbial growth.
Our water tank has a sensitive water level sensor. This monitors the water levels and sends growers tokenized notifications on when to water. Get notified in advance to be sure your plant never gets too thirsty!
Airflow
Three Built-In features define our airflow strengths:
A built-in fan in the machine's base.
Stagnant air causes plants to be surrounded by the oxygen they emit, starving them of vital aerosolized nutrients. Our built-in fan ensures regular CO2 intake.
Dual intake and exhaust activated carbon filters.
These filters maximize air purity and minimize odor to give your plant and your home the best environment possible.
Filters are changeable after every grow, or at your leisure, and purchasable using rewards tokens in our .
Air-tight rubber sealants.
Our air-tight chamber allows for precision air control throughout your grow, enhancing the effectiveness of our air circulation and filtration systems.
