This Refrigerator-Like Device is All You Need to Grow Cannabis at Home

The cultivation of our favourite plant calls for continuous care, lots of good judgment, and the best products and tools to produce a good harvest at the end of the process. It is something that takes time and requires dedication and a major investment. But now it is also possible to grow the plant with the help of "Leaf," an automated marijuana cultivation system.

This is a small, elegant and clean receptacle featuring everything your cannabis needs, and that you can place almost anywhere. Its inventors claim that it has never been this easy to grow quality grass and in such an elegant way. It also helps to avert odours.

Among other things, the device, which resembles a refrigerator, makes it possible to set up your system so as to achieve optimal marijuana size, weight and density. It also continuously monitors its surroundings and automatically adjusts to optimise the plants' growth. Users can receive constant updates on environmental conditions, water and air temperature, humidity, plant height, water level, and pH, all on their phones, and in real time. They can also see how their grass is growing, thanks to a built-in high-res camera.

"Leaf" also knows when your marijuana needs nutrients, and can administer them gradually through a simple system, similar to the way in which printers absorb ink. In addition, the system provides the necessary lighting and refrigeration, and is so discreet that nobody will know what it contains, even when in plain sight.

However, it will not be available until the summer of 2016, and carries price tag of 1,500 dollars (about 1300 euros). "Leaf" seems to be a simple option and makes it possible to save space, as one does not need to dedicate a room just to growing, or set up a tent, or devise security solutions against overly curious visitors.
