Back in the day, growing weed at home involved you forfeiting an entire closet or room in your home, along with endless hours of research, constant attention and, of course, the risk of arrest. But now that cannabis is legal in multiple regions of the United States, the industry is booming with new and creative ways to grow the sticky icky indoors.

While there are plenty of indoor growing systems available, Grobo brings cultivating weed to the internet of things with its app-connected enclosure. The sleek design offers a space for plants to thrive, without interrupting your household or life.

When you're ready to start growing, just plant your seeds or clippings and let Grobo's app sweat the details. By offering "growing recipes" that can be uploaded by community members, methods can now be shared and implemented with your smartphone.

The device constantly checks in on your crop and adjusts its water, light, nutrients and temperatures for an ideal growing environment.

Fifty LEDs allow you to achieve the correct color spectrum depending on the growing cycle of your plant. And the case's fluid glass lets you maintain your normal interior lighting while protecting the plant during its night cycle.

Most importantly, the tank contains an air filtration device, so that dank smell won't leak out into the rest of your home.

Now, sure, the Grobo can grow all sorts of plants, but let's be honest: it's for weed.

The smart garden is currently accepting preorders for $899 with an MSRP of $1,300 on its website.
