Vext basics - Good to know
In this section you will learn the basics of having and using your Vext smart garden. There are a few things you want to avoid at all cost, but we will also inform you of what you should expect when growing your plants.
What to do!
Set the light cycle to 12-16 hours.
Regularly harvest each plant to encourage more bushy growth. This will get you more total harvest from each plant.
Refill water before it is below the minimum level.
If most plants are in their early stages this is every 4 weeks. When all your plants are quite large it will need a refilling every 2 weeks.
Complete the tasks given in the app. (Water- and nutrient refills, cleaning, and plant care)
What not to do!
When refilling the water tank be careful not to pour water in the vents that are on the left and right side of the water tank.
Do not move your Vext around when it has water in it and/or plants on the plant wall, as it is heavy and it can break it and can cause other harm.
Do not fill the water tank above the maximum fill line.
What to expect when growing
On average it takes plants 5-20 days to sprout. Leafy greens sprout faster (5-15 days), herbs slower (10-20 days), fruiting vegetables and flowers sprouting vary.
Most plants can be harvested for at least 10-12 weeks.
Most plants are harvest ready around 40 days after planting them.
You can look up individual plants growth timeline and general harvesting and pruning guides from the categories leafy greens, herbs, flowering plants (ornamentals), fruiting plants, root vegetables, and micro greens.
