Lettuce Grow Offers 20 Per Cent Discount on Hydroponic Systems Through May 10

Lettuce Grow, the indoor hydroponic garden company co-founded by actress Zooey Deschanel and film producer Jacob Pechenik, is offering a twenty per cent discount on its Farmstand and Counterstand Set products. The promotion is valid until 10 May and requires consumers to enter the coupon code MOM20 at checkout to secure the reduced price.

The Farmstand system is available in Small, Medium, and Large modular configurations, capable of holding eighteen, twenty-four, and thirty-six plants respectively. Each unit is fully modular, allowing users to add levels later via an extension kit, though the manufacturer recommends a maximum of six total levels. The Counterstand Set utilises the Kratky method of hydroponics, a technique invented by horticulturist Dr Bernard Kratky, which involves placing plants in cups above nutrient-enriched water sources.

While the Farmstand has gained significant traction following its inclusion in Costco, where it became a sensation among influencers, users should be aware of specific maintenance characteristics. The system includes a pump that runs hourly and produces a sound likened to a flushing toilet for approximately five minutes. Additionally, the unit is largely immobile when full of water, suggesting the use of a dolly for transport.

Previous reviews of the Farmstand highlighted pest outbreaks involving aphids and whiteflies in shipped seedlings. However, the company has since implemented a quarantine process to mitigate this issue. Reviewers who have followed the new protocols on the seedling packaging report having no issues with bugs, although outcomes may vary depending on adherence to the procedures or environmental factors.

For those seeking a more decorative option, the Counterstand Set includes credits for seedlings and relies on a maintenance routine of periodically refilling three amber beakers with nutrient-enriched water. While the system yields a modest amount of produce, it is designed to serve as a showpiece for the home. Users can opt to include an eighteen-inch LED lamp with a timer or rely on natural sunlight, provided there is an appropriate spot in the house.

Despite manufacturer claims that the Counterstand fits under any kitchen cabinet, practical testing suggests the included LED lamp may prevent the unit from fitting under certain cabinets depending on specific dimensions. The sale on both the Farmstand and the Counterstand Set concludes on 10 May, offering a window for potential buyers to utilise the MOM20 discount code before the offer expires.
