About this product
A slanted 36 site NFT kit for balconies, windows and indoor growing
Simple to assemble and use, with no experience needed. Includes a 12 V pump with a timer. You add a reservoir tank and nutrients.
This hydroponic gardening system is simple to assemble and use, and suits beginners with no experience.
The kit is especially suited to leafy vegetables at home or in the office, such as lettuce, rape, celery, beets, bell pepper, garlic seedlings and canola.
Designed for easy, low-effort vegetable gardening indoors or outdoors.
This slanted hydroponics kit can sit next to a window and still get plenty of sun. It is a good choice for a balcony or indoors, and one of our most popular starter kits.
Growing with this kit is not complicated. It is designed for beginner growers and comes with what you need to start, apart from a reservoir tank and nutrients.
With hydroponics you can grow all year round and harvest more than once. Order today and it is delivered across Canada in 5 to 7 days after our 24 to 48 hour handling time.
An inner blocking design sends the water down the kit in an S shape so every row is fed, and the nutrient water stays inside the channels, out of the sunshine.
You provide your own reservoir tank to hold the nutrients, with the pump sitting inside it. A non-transparent tank or bucket with a cover is best, because sunlight in the reservoir encourages algae. Make it large enough for the pump to sit fully under the water.

How sustainable is a 36 Cup Hydroponic Kit long-term?
We do not make sustainability claims about this kit. It is a soil-free PVC system that recirculates its nutrient solution from your reservoir.
Is the water used in a Hydroponic Set Up recycled?
Yes, the pump recirculates the nutrient solution back to the reservoir, so you top up what the plants use and what evaporates.
What additional costs are associated with a Hydroponic Vertical Garden?
Budget for electricity for the pump and any grow lights, replacement nutrient solution, a pH test kit and a reservoir tank.
How do I choose the right location for a 36 Cup Hydroponic Kit?
Choose a spot near a power outlet. Beside a sunny window or on a balcony works well for this slanted kit; indoors, make sure the plants get enough light or add grow lights.
What maintenance challenges might I face with a Hydroponic Set Up?
Watch for nutrient imbalances, keep the pump clean, and keep light out of the reservoir to slow algae growth.
Can I automate my Hydroponic Vertical Garden?
Yes. This kit's pump includes a timer for the water circulation, and you can add timers for grow lights.
How long does it take to assemble a 36 Cup Hydroponic Kit?
Assembly is quick, often under an hour, following the included instructions.
What kind of yield can I expect from a Hydroponic Set Up?
This kit holds up to 36 plants at a time. How much you harvest depends on what you grow, the light and how you look after the system.
Are Hydroponic Vertical Gardens customizable?
You choose what to plant in each of the 36 sites, and you can mix crops with similar needs. The frame itself is sold as a complete kit.
What is the growth rate difference with a 36 Cup Hydroponic Kit?
Plants can grow quickly when light, nutrients and temperature suit them, but the difference compared with soil depends on the crop and your conditions.
How does the nutrient delivery work in a Hydroponic Set Up?
A water pump circulates nutrient solution from the reservoir through the channels to the plant roots and back again.
What makes a Hydroponic Vertical Garden environmentally friendly?
We do not make environmental claims about this kit. Factually, it grows plants without soil and recirculates its nutrient solution with a small pump.

Yes. Indoors, give it enough light, from a sunny window or from grow lights, to grow fresh produce inside your home or office.
Is a Hydroponic Set Up energy-efficient?
The kit's pump is a small 12 V unit. If you grow indoors, most of the electricity goes on lighting, so choose LED grow lights and run them on a timer.

Regularly check water levels, nutrient strength and pH, and clean the system between plantings.

The complete guide
The 36 cup hydroponic kit: a vertical garden for small spaces
6 min readHydroponics Company Canada
Urban gardeners looking for a way to grow food in a small space often land on a vertical hydroponic kit. This 36 cup hydroponic kit is an easy entry into hydroponics, particularly if you want a hydroponic vertical garden or a straightforward hydroponic set up for a balcony or window.
What makes the 36 cup hydroponic kit stand out?
It is a complete growing frame that keeps the hydroponic process simple while making good use of vertical space. Its compact, slanted design holds 36 plants, from leafy greens and herbs to smaller plants, which suits balconies, patios and indoor areas where floor space is tight.
Key features
Vertical design: four slanted rows let you grow more in a smaller footprint, 98 cm wide.
Easy assembly and care: it goes together quickly and needs little day to day attention.
Recirculating water: the pump sends nutrient solution through the rows and back to your reservoir, and a timer runs it on a schedule.
Indoors or outdoors: use it on a balcony, or indoors with a bright window or grow lights.
Why grow in a vertical kit
Space: growing upwards fits more plants in a small area.
Year round: set up indoors, you can grow herbs and greens whatever the season.
No soil: no digging or weeding, and no soil-borne pests.
Repeat harvests: replant as you pick to keep a rotation going.
What is in the box, and what is not
Included: the growing channels and connectors for 36 plant sites, a 12 V pump with a timer and power supply, water pipe, planting baskets, sponges, tweezers and a manual.
Not included: a reservoir tank, hydroponic nutrients and seeds. Use a non-transparent 15 to 20 litre tank with a lid, because light in the reservoir encourages algae.
Setting up your hydroponic set up
Assemble the frame and channels following the manual.
Place the pump in your reservoir tank and connect the water pipe.
Fill the tank with water and hydroponic nutrients at the dose on the label.
Set the timer, plant seedlings in the baskets and sponges, and check the flow reaches every row.
In short
The 36 cup hydroponic kit makes hydroponic gardening approachable and practical for gardeners of all levels. If space is tight or you want to grow food all year, it is a sensible first vertical garden.
