C1. Regrowing
OPCOM Farm is designed with a special re-grow process to maximize harvest capacity for family consumption. First harvest cycle takes
3-4 weeks after seeding young plant is planted. During harvesting, cut out the larger leaves and allow the smaller ones to continue to grow in
the machine. After the first harvest, you can continue the harvesting method weekly for the next 3-4 weeks without the need to re-seed.
C2. Sprout Process
GrowBox is not only a hydroponics system but also a Sprout Machine with our free gift, sprout cover. Within one Hydroponics cycle time, you have
3-4 sprout harvests and each harvest cycle is 7-10 days. Enjoy your maximum planting capacity. Refer to user manual pages 19-20 for details.
Please visit OPCOM farm website at www.opcom.com/CN/growbox-support.php for complete information, including user

Troubleshooting
GrowBox Q&A
Checkpoints / Solution
☑Make sure all power cables are connected.
☑Power button is turned ON.
☑Make sure LED status is not OFF.
☑If on AUTO, HI or LOW there will be periods of time during a 24-hour cycle when lamps are off.
(See the user manual page 9 for cycle descriptions.)
☑If a lamp has burned out or does not work, replace with a new OPCOM LED lamp (OAEE02A).
☑Make sure the pump’s cable is correctly plugged into the control box.
☑Make sure Pump status is not OFF.
☑If on AUTO, HI or LOW there will be periods of time during a 24-hour cycle when lamps are off.
(See the user manual page 9 for cycle descriptions.)
☑If the pump still does not work, replace with a new OPCOM pump (OAEE01A). Refer to pump box for installation.
☑Pump may give off a buzzing sound in the beginning due to air inside the pump. After a minute with water
running through the pump, this should be reduced.
☑Too low of a water level in your GrowBox may have resulted in air entering pump. Over time this may shorten
the life of the pump. Please maintain correct water level at all times.
☑If pump is failed, replace with a new OPCOM pump (OAEE01A). Refer to pump box for installation.
☑Opcom Farm’s control box is designed with Auto, HI and LOW cycles, which will turn the lamps and the pump
on and off at certain intervals. This is to mimic an outside daily cycle, offer the best growing condition for your
and plants, save you energy.
☑Check the user manual page 9 for cycle descriptions.

Answer
This can shorten the life of the pump.Maintain proper water level. Always keep water above the red line.
The lamps provided with your GrowBox is standard E26 mount OPCOM 18W (L18B) LED Growth Lamp. This is
suitable for most plants’ growth. You may also use OPCOM Professional LED Growth Lamp 50W (L50B) to
accommodate special growth needs.
The climbing tubes is an optional function for your GrowBox, and you will only need to install the climbing kit
when growing tall plants and vining plants like tomatoes. For these plants, the climbing tubes can be used to
support the plants as they grow.
We recommend using the net if the product is in an environment where insects may be present.
