Il Seedo site it's not that different from a family-friendly e-commerce.
The flagship product Seedo is a sort of hermetic box controlled and managed by an artificial intelligence. This device uses machine learning technology, sensors of various kinds and light systems to feed and herbs, flowers or vegetables.
I bought something similar, more modest, a few months ago. It's called click & grow: I found it excellent for home herbs (basil first and foremost) but disastrous for vegetables and other things. Yet the convenience of having a device that acts as a vegetable garden would not throw it away.
Not just basil
In order not to go on too long, I will say (as an unprejudiced non-smoker) what came to mind while watching Seedo. I thought that in the United States alone, marijuana is legal in 11 states for "recreational" purposes, and in another 22 states for therapeutic purposes.
AI does more than a box that turns on an LED every 8 hours - my device can't compete. Seedo is connected online to a database of plants and locations that allows the system to actually grow a plant, changing doses and conditions depending on the context and climate.
For the thoughtful, Seedo even has “parental controls”. To avoid, I don't know, the unwanted ingestion of a very strong chilli pepper by a child. Or who knows what else.
Let's forget about marijuana for a moment: Seedo can obviously be used for herbs, vegetables and flowers with better results than those obtainable by growing outdoors.
It's not cheap, safe: if you buy directly from the company based in Israel, a Seedo costs about 2300 euros, plus 320 shipping, but ensures a return similar to far more organized systems.
With the Seedo also comes a complete kit which includes a nutrient pack, two CO2 cylinders, a rock wool grow plate, an air filter, a water filter and the app compatible with both iOS and Android .
Why the app?
As well as allowing you to monitor things like water levels you can literally observe plant growth in real time. Seedo hosts up to 5 plants at a time and obtains more luxuriant and rapid growth from the plants than average.
Some specifications
Seedo is a little larger than a minibar, weighs around 40kg when empty, consumes 0.24 kilowatts/hour, 1 meter high by 63cm wide.
