The Gardyn is a gardening device presented during CES this year. It is a hydroponic tower that adds AI technology and allows users to grow up to 30 plants without having to rely on specific details. It is powered bt two cameras which are directly pointed at the plants as they grow.
The system automatically alters the lighting and water distribution to its plants which is a leverage of the AI technology to grow the plants at the most efficient state. The Gardyn is similar to the standard hydroponic tower with a water system at the base and a vertical channel that houses the plants. Water travels into the plants by raining on the pod which contains the seed.
