I found www.clickandgrow.com online and wanted to know how could I make my own grow pods?

Making your own DIY grow pods for an indoor smart garden (like Click & Grow) is totally possible and can save money! Here’s how you can create reusable grow pods at home:

1. What You Need

✅ Empty Grow Pod Cups (Reuse old Click & Grow pods or use small net pots)
✅ Growing Medium (Instead of Click & Grow’s Smart Soil)

• Best DIY Options:
  • Coco coir + perlite mix (light, airy, and retains moisture well)
  • Peat moss + vermiculite
  • Rockwool cubes (great for hydroponic-style growth)
• Optional: Add slow-release organic fertilizer (like worm castings)
  ✅ Seeds of Your Choice (Lettuce, herbs, peppers, etc.)
  ✅ Water & Nutrients (Hydroponic nutrient solution if needed)

2. Steps to Make DIY Grow Pods

Step 1: Prepare the Pod Container

• Reuse an old Click & Grow pod OR use a small plastic net cup (1-2 inches wide).
• If needed, cut a sponge or netting to fit inside for support.

Step 2: Fill with DIY Grow Medium

• Mix coco coir (or peat moss) + perlite at a 3:1 ratio for good drainage.
• Moisten the mix before adding it to the pod.

Step 3: Plant Your Seeds

• Place 1-2 seeds in the center of the pod.
• Cover lightly with a thin layer of the grow medium.

Step 4: Place in Your Smart Garden

• Insert your DIY pod into the Click & Grow system (or similar hydroponic setup).
• Make sure the wick (if using one) touches the water for proper moisture absorption.

Step 5: Maintain & Feed Your Plants

• If using hydroponics, add liquid plant food every 2 weeks.
• If using soil-based mix, fertilize lightly once a month.

3. Bonus: How to Make It Even More Cost-Effective!

💡 DIY Wicks: Cut strips from an old cotton T-shirt or felt fabric to use as a wick.
💡 Refill & Reuse: Save old pod casings instead of buying new ones!
💡 Experiment with Mediums: Try perlite-only pods for lightweight hydroponic growth.

By making your own grow pods, you can grow fresh herbs and veggies for a fraction of the cost while still using your Click & Grow system! Would you like recommendations for specific crops that grow best in DIY pods? 😊
