Q: How often and why does the garden need to rotate?
A: The unit takes approximately 45-50 min to make a complete rotation and rotates 24/7.
NOTE: The Omega Garden™ needs to rotate constantly in order to keep all of the plants in conformity - if the garden stops turning, even for a short period, the plants will turn up against the pull of gravity regardless of its relationship to the light source - even when the light is below the plant, it will still grow opposite the direction of gravity.
Q: How often do I feed the plants?
A: The plants are usually fed 1 or 2 times per day depending on plant requirements and ambient room conditions. Do not over-water!
IMPORTANT: The "C"-channels should only pass through the feed solution to a depth of no more than 1/2". Regulate the pump output with the valve and set the return drain hose into position at the required solution depth.

Q: What nutrients should I use?
