Setup Instructions

1. Assemble the Telescopic Rod and Light Panel: Insert the telescopic aluminum rod into the designated slot on the water tank cover. Attach the LED light panel to the top of the telescopic rod. Ensure it is securely fastened.
2. Place the Atomizer: Insert the atomizer into its dedicated slot within the water tank. Ensure the atomizer is fully submerged when the water tank is filled.
3. Prepare Planting Pods:
   • Place one planting sponge into each planting pod.
   • Insert your chosen seeds into the center of each planting sponge.
   • Cover each planting pod with a seedling cover (dome) to create a humid environment for germination.
4. Fill the Water Tank: Open the water filling cap and carefully pour water into the water storage tank. Refer to the water level markings on the tank:
   • Recommended Upper Limit: 2.5L
   • Optimal Fill Level: 2L
   • Minimum Required Level: 1.2L

   It is recommended to fill to the optimal level (2L) initially. Do not exceed the upper limit.

5. Add Nutrient Solution: Once the water tank is filled, add the appropriate amount of nutrient solution (Parts A and B) according to the plant type and growth stage. Refer to the nutrient solution instructions for specific ratios.
6. Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the power port on the system and then into a standard electrical outlet.
