How To Grow In The Counterstand
Assembly instructions

Note: If you purchased your Counterstand with water, start at step 3.
1. Add filtered water to the fill line (just below the bottom of the cup).
2. Add 3mL (~4 half-full droppers) of nutrients and stir well.
3. Insert the WaterWick, ensuring that it reaches the bottom of the jar.
4. Give it some light: Place the Counterstand in a well-lit area that receives 6+ hrs of full sun OR if using the Glow Lamp, set the timer to 16hrs on/ 8 off.
5. Refill as needed: Once the water gets below ~1 inch from the bottom, add water up to the refill line and add 1.5mL (~ 2 half-full droppers) of nutrients.
  • Note: As the plant grows, it will consume water faster. Check daily, as refills may be needed every 4-5 days depending on the plant variety.
6. Harvest as needed: You can start harvesting after 2 weeks of growth. Avoid removing more than ⅓ of the foliage unless harvesting the entire plant. 
7. Cleaning: After a full harvest, pour out the water and rinse the Counterstand. Clean the Counterstand by either placing it in the dishwasher or washing thoroughly. 
Note: Some initial stress is normal during the first week of transplanting. Simply remove any dead leaves, and rest assured—they’ll bounce back quickly!
