Precision Temperature Control
Two temperature settings with LED indicators:
- Green LED: 77-79°F (25-26°C)
- Red LED: 80-82°F (27-28°C)
Easily adjustable using the included temperature selection key.
Utilize the optional Module Pack for additional temperature options.
-
Scalable Design
- Daisy Chain Capability: Connect up to 4 units (2 per 20W USB-C charger, 35W+ for 3-4) to expand your germination setup.
- Optional Spacer & 2nd Tier Tray: Customize for larger seeds or additional capacity (sold separately).
-
Energy Efficient
- Powered by a USB-C connection, each unit uses only 6 watts max (1.2 amps @ 5 volts) on start up. Once up to temperature, 1 watt (0.2 amp @ 5 volts).
- Utilizing an internal voltage regulator and capacitor to smooth out inconsistencies with commercially available power adapters.
- Compatible with 20W or higher USB-C adapters. We recommend Apple brand chargers for optimal performance. Anker is a close second. See FAQs for details.
-
Compact and Sleek
- Dimensions: 7cm x 7cm x 2.25cm
- Pod Diameter: 6cm with a depth of 0.25" (0.635cm)
- Lightweight and easy to integrate into any indoor gardening space.
How to Use Sprout
Setup: Place the Sprout unit on a flat surface and connect it to a power source using the USB-C cable.
Temperature Selection: Locate the temperature switch access at the bottom of the unit, next to the LED. Carefully insert the key included and gently press and release.
Add Seeds and Solution: Place your seeds in the pod, add the appropriate germination solution and cover with the lid to maintain humidity.
Monitor and Adjust: Hydrate as needed. Don't let the pads dry out. Avoid frequent lid removal to prevent temperature fluctuations and evaporation.
Transplant: Once the seeds have germinated and developed a tap root, carefully transfer them to your preferred grow medium.

Benefits
Faster Germination: High thermal conductivity ensures quick and even heating. Surrounding your seeds in warmth instead of heating only from the bottom.
Customizable and Expandable: Grow more seeds with modular add-ons and daisy-chaining capabilities.
Eco-Friendly and Energy-Efficient: Low power consumption with USB-C compatibility. Made of aluminum with a global recycling rate of 76%. 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in circulation.
Reliable Performance: Durable, lightweight design with stable temperature regulation. Stability is key in germination.
Important Considerations
- Proper seed preparation, storage, and sanitation are critical for successful germination.
- Frequent removal of the lid can reduce temperature and accelerate evaporation.
- Root Nerds is not responsible for failed germination. Many factors can influence results. Sprout is a tool to use.
