Abby Automated Grow Box Unboxing

Apparently inside this package is an entire facility for growing vegetables and plants

indoors. Many don't know my history, but I've been involved in tomatoes in the past as a youngster

So when I heard about this product, even though it's not necessarily targeted at tomato growing

I was like, let me throw a couple of tomatoes in there, see what happens. Anyway, let's crack this

open. This is, it's, it's wild what's going on in this space. App controlled, climate controlled

environments and incredibly stiffly packed products. So this is the Abbey automated grow box

Even you can do it. It's automated. Even you can grow. Look at that. It's looking like a piece of

fresh technology. Bamboo like top with the digital display on the front. I don't know how much you

have to use the digital display. I think you can manage almost everything from the smartphone app

The main idea here is you really don't have to think about too much. The process is automated

The light that's being supplied to the plants that you're growing, amount of moisture, it creates the

optimal scenario depending on whatever it is you're trying to grow. That's a knob and a button and I

think it's a screen as well. He had done enough kicking

After you kicked it, I was like, oh, that's what we're doing. Listen, I think this is pretty good looking

Yeah, it looks like a piece of furniture, like a modern piece of furniture. Plus, you can put something on top of it on this nice bamboo surface

So this little panel on the front lifts off just to take a peek at whatever it is that you're growing

This door opens up, but if I recall you, there's a special tool for it, so it doesn't happen inadvertently

Well, not really a special tool. I mean, they include this little piece, but you could do it with anything that's basically that shape

So nobody's tampering with your tomatoes. Don't you dare tamper my tomatoes

Oh, this is a pretty heavy-duty door. Box in a box. This is going to have everything you need to get up and running with your own hydroponics

You've always fancied yourself some type of farmer. Ooh, look at this

Hydroponic fertilizer. Grow what you love. More fertilizer. more fertilizer, lots of fertilizer

Oh, silver. These look like filters If you look inside there you can see the ventilation coming in as well as the box at the bottom This is where we gonna have our water This is how you gonna have

that beautiful distribution for photosynthesis. I don't know if there's any other circumstance

by which that term would ever be used on this channel. Whoa, check out the toolkit

Now you're in it for real. What is this? This is for doing our little clipping

and tying and clipping and power, magnets, filter. everything you need to get up and running

Now, you know that since this is a cooking show, we already have one of these units ready to go

And it's even growing something already. Why don't we check it out

The Abbey Grow Box is now set up and active. It's pretty cool

This thing, it has voice activation. It has an app to go with it

It comes with a subscription package with the necessary nutrients. And then the machine is going to take care of the distribution

So there's like a little plate in there with two kind of trap door looking things

Via voice, you can actually have these nutrients drop in at the critical moments

Because when you're growing anything, timing is a key consideration. After you get your Abbey Grow box plugged in, this is what you're going to be looking at in terms of the app

It's going to tell you how to get going, including all the ingredients that you're going to need

things like three gallons of pure water, fertilizer, and making sure that your carbon

filter is already installed. The initial phase, the Abbey device and a three-month subscription

for nutrients is listed right now at $9.99. There's a 30-day return, a one-year warranty

It's using an LED light system, Samsung LM301H. I believe it's around 100 watts. It seems to be

pretty energy efficient, somewhere around 10 bucks. In our case, with this particular unit

We have a tomato plant that's been transplanted into there. It's actually kind of nice to look at and watch grow

So you can remove this magnetic panel in the front. See how your little plant is doing

You know, you kind of get attached to it. This display on top, you can see it's displaying some key or important information, water and humidity

The beauty of having this integrated with an application is that all your notifications

via that application will ensure that you're not screwing it up, which is a thing that's

actually easy to do if you don have a smart grow box like Abby If you need more nutrients or water or you need to make any type of adjustment or if your plant is in trouble your app going to let you know So you going to have a smart grow box like Abby if you need more nutrients or water or you need to make any type of adjustment or if your plant is in trouble your app going to let you know So you going to be able to address those issues quickly enough so that your plant can thrive

Now, probably the coolest feature is the voice activation. Hey, Abby, open the door

I mean, that's pretty cool and fast. I was kind of joking around when I first saw that

I'm like, that is more responsive than other voice assistants. I'm not going to name any names

I'm not calling anybody out. Look, take a look. It's overexposed, but here is our tomato plant thriving

We're now farmers. That's all it took. I mean, even us, even we can be creating produce

We'll be bringing our tomatoes to the farmer's market, in fact. You can also have it so that there's a child lock on it

So voice won't necessarily unlock it unless you want it to be unlocked

So another way you can open it is just by rotating this wheel

That's pretty cool. So the lighting system, Samsung full spectrum plant lights

plus high powered red LED offering enough lighting to bathe the plant for photosynthesis

It's also a deep water culture grow system, easier, faster and minimum maintenance

for plant growing. The monitoring system is real-time using Abbey sensors and instant reminders

Also, the carbon filter works on odor. Adjustable exhaust fans help keep the air fresh and clean in

your room. And all that happens in less than two square feet so it can fit anywhere in your room

So here's what the app looks like. Look at that beautiful little plant. This was a transplant

land. So normally your period here would be showing vegetation week one, day five. You would

then move to flowering, flushing, harvest, drying, and curing. You'd be following along for each step

You also have this reading of your environment. Grow light is okay. Fan is okay. Grow chamber

humidity of 40%, which is rated as good. Temperature inside 75 Fahrenheit. That's also good. Water

level okay water tank temperature all key components in a healthy growth cycle and you

can check up and monitor at any given time one more way to unlock the door as well so a closer look at what included inside your box a one times pruner or strainer over here This is called an air stone Training ties a trellis net The power cable also was inside this package Magnetic

hooks, a couple different styles of magnetic hooks. I was just dipping around in the FAQ. I was curious

It's like, what are some funny questions that are frequently asked? What plant can I grow

with Abby. You can grow any herb, vegetable, or flower that takes advantage of a deep water

culture system, which is what this is. What is a deep water culture system? DWC is a type of

hydroponic farming that utilizes a water tank that is rich in nutrients and oxygen. The roots of the

plant are submerged in the water while the plant grows as normal above. Do I need experience to

grow with Abby? Absolutely not. Oh, by the way, currently shipping to continental US and Canada

Does any smell leak out of Abby? Abby comes with a custom-made carbon filter that uses two layers of activated carbon to remove most odors from the air

However, certain smells are a natural part of gardening and cannot be completely eliminated

Some plants are more pungent than others. Pungent. Here's another one that I was curious about

How long does it take to grow a plant? Now, this obviously depends on whatever it is that you're growing

Could be like two months or three months. Will there be pests

Abby provides a separate growing space for your plant, effectively isolating them from any potential pet

There you have it. Abby Growbox, you are now a grower. That's all it took

And you can speak to it just like all the rest of your tech. You can't screw it up

That's the beauty of it. Because this stuff, like the time invested in it, you want to make sure that you're actually going to yield something

I can't think of a better way than having technology aid in that process by monitoring everything

And I think it's pretty good looking, too, for something that's going to live in your environment

Maybe you're a grower. Maybe you can do this, too. That's the Abby Grow Box

Hey, Abby. Open the door. Look at my pretty plant. Overexposed

It's like literally just the humidity is so premium in there. I don't even want it to be exposed to this trashy climate

You understand? My plan
