My current system can grow up to six plants. It's designed around a single 102 L plastic tote. It holds enough water to harvest lettuce once before refilling. After the initial setup, the system can be ignored for weeks.

### Assembly

Assemble the metal shelf with one shelf at the very top and another only a foot below it as seen in the photo. Only one shelf is used, but two are needed for stability.

Hang the grow lights with the included hangers off the lower shelf. The height can be adjusted later. Plug the lights into a power strip and secure all cords to the lower shelf.
