Attach Condensate Lid

Slide it and forget it. Skipping this step may result in minor leaks.

You will not need to empty this. Find this groove directly under the Farmshelf (image right) and slide in.

What it is for?: ACs within the Farmshelf will drip and this allows that water to transfer directly into the water tank.

Turn On and Add your Internet

Once plugged in and powered on, Farmshelf’s touchscreen will start up. Navigate on the touch screen to ‘Settings’, and ‘Internet Settings’.

If preferred, ethernet connection is also available - connect a live ethernet cable to the ethernet port located on the back of the Farmshelf.

Note: You will receive an error if pairing pin is attempted without internet connection - even if correct.

Note: (Set) your time zone only after adding internet to your Farmshelf.

Note: Check your texts! Your Pairing pin auto-sends via text from an (888) number upon signing up for your Farmshelflabs account and expires in 29 days.

Create a new pin by following directions in ‘Sign up’ Tab, OR email Support@farmshelf.com

🌱 Open your subscription box, and carefully remove the seedpod packages right side up - just like an egg carton.

🌱 Each plant has different speeds of germinating- while others start to sprout right away, others are generating roots. Details for each crop can be found on the crop guide.

🌱 Start your nursery right away. After 2 weeks the seedpods delivered will lose viability.

🌱 Shelf Nutrients vs. Nursery Nutrients. Each will come with instructions.

🌱 Your next seed order should be placed on Week 6 of your Crop Cycle.
Estimated to arrive 7-10 business days after order placed. (More on this later)

Adding Seedpods to Nursery

Step 1: Move your seedpods from delivery carton to black tray.

Step 2: Add Cold Water to your Blue Watering Vessel 3/4 of the way. (Preferably filtered water)

Step 3: Add your Nutrient Vial - one by one into the watering vessel and shake gently for 30 seconds.

Step 4: Remove top black cap (image right) and water each black tray until filled 3/4 of the way.

Step 5: Fill your humidifier up 3/4 of the way with cold water. (video left)

** Last step: Turn ‘ON’ Nursery via the touchscreen (image right) Nursery lights will have periodic dark modes (do not turn on and off during 14 day nursery period)

Crop Cycle

Total Time in Farmshelf: 8-10 weeks (crop cycle)
2 Weeks in Nursery
Order new seeds week 6, to expect the delivery on week 7
Start your Nursery again on week 7/8
Final Harvest between week 8-10

For plants in Farmshelf at all times, this is the best timeline. Plants can live longer than 10 weeks, for bold flavor we encourage a renewal of your crop cycle.
