What's included in the TG-03 Smart Grow Box classroom rental?

The TG-03 rental includes the full Smart Grow Box system (capacity for a class of up to 25 students), seed starter packs covering 6 plant varieties, nutrient solution for a 10-week term, the LED lighting controller, the moisture pump, a teacher's guide aligned to the Australian Curriculum V9.0, and full email and phone support.

Which year levels is the TG-03 designed for?

TG-03 is best suited to Years 3-6 STEM units. The kit's complexity matches upper-primary cognitive load: students learn pH, EC, light cycles, and plant-life stages while observing measurable real-time changes. Year 7-9 STEM teachers also use TG-03 with deeper data-logging modules.

What plants can the TG-03 grow during a 10-week term?

Reliable choices for a 10-week term: lettuce (25-35 days), spinach (28-35 days), kangkung (20-25 days), basil (35-45 days), bok choy (25-30 days), and herbs (parsley, chives). Most classrooms pick 2-3 varieties to compare growth profiles as a STEM exercise.

Does TG-03 require Wi-Fi or any school network setup?

No. TG-03 runs entirely standalone — the LED controller and water pump operate on a built-in timer. There's no school-network integration required and no IT-department approval needed. Just a single power outlet.

What support does LaNiTex provide if something goes wrong with TG-03?

Email and phone support throughout the term. If a hardware component (LED, pump, controller) fails, LaNiTex ships a replacement free of charge under the 12-month warranty. Most teachers reach a resolution within 4 business hours.

Hydroponics in your classroom — a full-term grow project with multiple plant varieties.

The TG-03 Rental gives Queensland primary school classrooms access to the full LaNiTex Smart Grow Box for one school term. Students plant multiple varieties of herbs and leafy greens simultaneously, track growth across the term, and harvest fresh produce before the break.

The Smart Grow Box is a multi-tier hydroponic system with LED grow lights and an automated water circulation system. It grows herbs, leafy greens, and small vegetables without soil.

What's Included

The rental includes the full LaNiTex Smart Grow Box — a multi-tier system with LED grow lighting, an automated water circulation pump and timer, growing nets, and growing medium. STEM curriculum-aligned resources are included to support the project across the term. A 12-month warranty is included.

Setup requires one standard power point and takes approximately 30 minutes. No plumbing, no soil, no outdoor space required.

Curriculum Connections

The Smart Grow Box project supports Australian Curriculum V9.0 outcomes across:

Science — plants and their needs (light, water, nutrients), life cycles, biological sciences
Maths — measurement (plant height, growth rate), data recording, pH and EC as applied measurement
Design & Technologies — design thinking, food systems, sustainable food production
HASS — food production, sustainable agriculture, community and environment

The multi-week growing timeline makes the TG-03 well suited to term-long projects. Students track plant growth from seedling to harvest, compare growth rates between varieties, and connect classroom science to real-world food production. Unlike the TG-01 and TG-02 rentals, the Smart Grow Box supports multiple varieties simultaneously, which creates more opportunities for comparison, data collection, and science investigation.

Why Hydroponics Works in the Classroom

Hydroponic growing is faster than soil-based growing and produces measurable, predictable results. Leafy greens such as lettuce typically reach harvest size in 25–35 days under LED lighting — fast enough for a complete growth cycle within a school term.

Because hydroponics removes soil from the equation, students can observe the effect of light, water, and nutrients more directly than in a traditional garden bed. The system also runs autonomously once set up: the automated timer controls water circulation and lighting, so students are not responsible for daily watering.

The Term-Grow Program

The TG-03 is the flagship product in LaNiTex's Term-Grow Enrolment program — a term-based rental scheme for Queensland primary schools. Founder Laszlo Bulatko runs the same Smart Grow Box at home in Sippy Downs. Lettuce was ready to harvest in 25 days. Capsicum and herbs have been running continuously since early 2025.

Support and Delivery

LaNiTex Hydro Garden ships from Kunda Park QLD and provides full setup instructions and direct support throughout your rental term. Most Queensland schools receive delivery within 1–2 business days.
