BUILDING IN PUBLIC · GOZO

An off-grid grow system,
built live — powered
entirely by the sun.

I'm Steven. I legally grow my own medicine in Malta. EcoGrow is the solar-powered grow system I'm engineering in the open. Back a founder kit, follow every build, or sponsor the parts.

WHY I'M BUILDING THIS

Medicine I can trust, energy I don't pay for.

I live with fibromyalgia. Growing my own cannabis — legally, four plants in my home in Malta — gave me consistent relief without the cost and uncertainty of the supply chain. But grow lights, fans and dehumidifiers are hungry, and Malta's electricity isn't cheap.

So I'm engineering EcoGrow: a complete tent + battery + solar package that runs the whole grow off the sun. I'm documenting every wiring diagram, every part, every harvest — in public. Back it, learn from it, or help build it.
