Why we created The Forge of Creation

Space

Tired of stunted plants fighting for space? Our innovative system gives your plants the room they need to thrive. The single helix spiral maximizes vertical space, while the sloped buckets and plant clips ensure every inch is dedicated to growth, not wasted on unusable planting spaces. Our telescoping lights adjust as your plants grow, giving them up to an extra 3 feet of room to grow!

Sensors & Data

Guesswork is out, precision is in. Our built-in sensors track pH, EC, moisture, temperature, and even weight, giving you real-time data to optimize your grow and achieve maximum yields. No more wondering if your plants are happy - you'll know exactly what they need to thrive!

Dry Cycles

Not all plants like wet feet! Our system provides customizable dry cycles, perfect for plants like tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries that need time to breathe between waterings. Grow a wider variety of healthy plants, from moisture-loving herbs to drought-resistant succulents.

Accessibility & Maintenance

Spend less time cleaning, more time harvesting! We know cleaning can be a hassle. That's why our system is designed for easy access. Every component, from buckets to drainage and watering systems, can be reached and cleaned without contortions. Say goodbye to hidden corners and hello to healthy, happy plants!
