    That's it. I'm now making "gizmodo.com/t/not:concepts" my homepage. I'm tired of getting my hopes and dreams crushed with every new fancy thing posted only to discover it's just a 3D Studio Max render or something.

    Bah.

    If this was in the $30-40 range I would buy a ton of these. I have lots of plants and proper lighting is difficult to achieve while still looking decorative. Unfortunately, things like this always end up being more than I am willing to pay (like the aerogarden). One problem I see is you don't get good drainage. It would be nice if there was a removable plug on the bottom so you could use an optional saucer.

    Let me know when this goes into production. I've killed at least 3 house plants in the past year and I'm sure I could kill another with this.

    @S.. doesn't have any friends.:
    There's something I ran across somewhere that might be safe from the likes of us. It was sold under the name "dinosaur plant", and basically it's supposed to be able to survive for up to 50 years without water. Water it, it revives. Forget to water it for a day or two...hundred...ish, and it just goes dormant again. Probably doesn't flower, but neither do a lot of houseplants.

    Incorrect spectrum for Mary Jane, Also not tall enough; some of those suckers grow over a meter tall. At least that's what my friends tell me?


    On another note...

    What about aeration holes in the bottom, we don't want to get root rot do we? I'll stick with chia pets.

    @Drew420: Light placement and selective pruning can stunt the vertical growth of pretty much any strain if you know what you are doing...


    But either way, you're not going to get much out of a setup like this...

    @jslizzle: It is possible to control the growth height by putting the light very very close and selective pruning. However even if you manage to do that correctly I doubt this would put out enough light to grow anything more than ditch-weed (and in small amounts at that)...

    In reply to Desktop Hydroponics Are Perfect for the Corporate Jungle
    Being a "plant person" I have not only about 30 of them in the home jungle, but 3 or 4 at work, all in traditional dirt. While hydroponics are supposed to be the wave of the future, give me a shovel and some manure and I will give you green the natural way.


    p.s.-If youre not a plant person, and forget to water, etc, african violets are for you. I kill them with too much love every time.

    Blah blah blah. Plant a tree because it's good for the environment. Blah blah blah. We need more plants to stop global warming. There sure is a lot of money to be had in living on the brink of disaster. Want to make money? Find the big crisis of the moment and exploit the hell out of it.


    I'm firmly convinced that we've screwed things past the point of no return (or, with China's and India's help, soon will). Screw environmentalism. We're boned.


    And it was us who did the boning.
