Cloudponics GroBox, $2,490
The teched-out GroBox is a fully automated hydroponic grow system designed to fit in with your home’s Mid-Century Modern decor. Simply plant your seed and the automated system will nurture your plant all the way to harvest including nutrient, water and pH control. The entire process can be tracked and controlled via a smartphone app, and the Cloudponics claims the GroBox can grow up to 8 oz in three months. If the price tag seems a bit high — and you’re based in L.A. — the company offers a leasing program.
