Frequently Asked Questions

Should the campaign be successful, we will be doing everything in our power to get every backer their Opbox as soon as possible. We are conservatively aiming for this to be in December 2020.

The reason we are running a crowdfunding campaign is because the product has not yet been produced. In order to afford the production of the product, we are crowdfunding beforehand and will start production once the campaign has ended. We have working prototypes and suppliers ready to produce the Opbox en masse if funded. More questions about the crowdfunding campaign can be directed to info@opboox.ca.

The question might as well be what plants can’t you grow in an Opbox! As long as your plant stays under 30”, you can probably grow it in an Opbox. Unfortunately, this means vine plants that are meant for growing outdoors (like vine tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.) will probably outgrow the system.

In addition to reading/watching the grow tutorials, all you'll need to do is tend to your plant (water, feed, & trim) once a week - a task that takes less than 15 minutes.

The Opbox is designed to grow one plant, because when it comes to growing indoors, quality is more important than quantity. One larger plant grown properly can produce a much larger harvest than four smaller plants fighting for light, space, and co2. That said, we do offer a 4-hole hydroponic system lid for smaller plants like basil and other herbs, or for experimenting with Sea Of Green growing techniques.

Growing is a lot of fun, but it can be tough when learning on your own. The goal of Opbox is to eliminate all the frustrating aspects of growing so that you can focus on the fun stuff.

Your harvest size depends a lot on plant strain and genetics, so it’s hard to say exactly how much you can grow. When growing a good strain properly, you can expect to harvest 2-4 ounces per ~3 month cycle.

Opbox's industrial carbon filter and ventilation system ensure that all odors are sufficiently filtered and eliminated for the entirety of your grow. We’ve experienced the frustration of an underperforming filter causing your whole room (sometimes whole house) to smell, so we’ve done everything in our power to ensure that doesn't happen when using an Opbox.

The average power draw of the Opbox is 120V/1.6A, which should only cost $5-10/month.

Not only does a hydroponic system make much less of a mess, it can increase yields by heightening root oxygen levels, providing nutrients directly to the roots, and giving the grower full control over nutrient dosing. Still want to grow in soil? All you need to do is remove the lid to the system and place your pot inside.

The length of a grow cycle can vary, but an average Opbox grow cycle will take 12-16 weeks.

The Opbox houses a 3-gallon deep water culture hydroponic reservoir. You will need to replace your water and nutrients once a week. This should only take 10 minutes.

Purchasing the Growing Kit is recommended for ease-of-use, however the Opbox was designed to work with any nutrients or grow medium.

The Opbox is designed to last many grow cycles, meaning you'll always be growing your money back. All that’s needed to start a new grow is a Growing Kit.
