Hot & Dry- Lots of sun? Heating unit under your window? Choose heat lovingplants and add water more often.
Cold- Drafty windows? Choose cold loving plants or use a nutrient heater
Sporadic- Climate controls in the building turn off at night? Use a nutrient heater on a timer.

What Is A Windowfarm? A Windowfarm is a vertical, indoor garden that allows for year-round growing in almost any window. It lets plants use natural window light, the climate control of your living space, and organic “liquid soil.� In the hydroponic system, nutrient-spiked water is pumped up from a reservoir at the base of the system and trickles down from bottle to bottle, bathing the roots along the way. Water and nutrients that are not absorbed collect in the reservoir and will be pumped through again at the next interval.

How Does It Work? In the hydroponic system, nutrient-spiked water is pumped up from a reservoir at the base of the system and trickles down from bottle to bottle, bathing the plants’ roots along the way.
Low Power Pumping Most hydroponic systems use both a water pump to regulate water flow and an air pump to aerate the water. A windowfarm uses only one — the far more energy efficient air pump — to do the work of both pumps. Bubbles from the air pump carry little pockets of water as they travel up a rigid tube spine and release the water onto the plant’s roots.

How Much Does It Cost to Run Windowfarms? The amount of electricity used to run a Windowfarm will cost you a few additional dollars per year. 2-Column Unit= $1.58 per year 4-Column Unit = $3.16 per year
Easy To Adjust Maybe you want to give your Windowfarm more water because the radiator just kicked on for the winter and you’re getting higher evaporation rates.
