TWO ROOT ZONES
Root systems drive plant growth. Bigger roots make bigger plants. Hydroponic and soil growing methods produce plants with only one root system but plants in Octopot Grow Systems develop two structurally different root systems; one in water and one in growing media. Growers can choose to use soil, coco coir or a blend of both. Learn more about Octopot System Requirements

AERATED ROOTS
Octopots are a soil hydro hybrid grow system that produces plants with two root zones. Octopot Grow Systems improve root health resulting in healthier plants and yields. Plant roots inside the soil of Octopot’s Gro Sleeve® are continuously aerated stimulating natural root pruning and healthy root branching similar to an air pruning pot or a root pruning pot. Octopots prevent root rot. Octopot’s Gro Sleeve® promotes evaporative cooling keeping plant roots healthy and protected from overheating.
OXYGENATED ROOTS
Octopot Grow Systems naturally oxygenate plant roots inside the water of Octopot’s Hydro Reservoir without electricity or extra equipment. Oxygenation prevents stagnant water. Oxygenated roots improve nutrient uptake so plants grow faster and produce healthier yields. DWC hydroponics and recirculating systems rely on pumps to oxygenate water. Power outages and equipment failures in DWC systems result in plant damage and plant loss very quickly. No more dead plants with Octopot Grow Systems!

OPTIMAL MOISTURE
Octopot Grow Systems provide optimal moisture for different plant cultivars and varieties. Meeting a plant’s moisture needs on demand increases the rate of growth and produces bigger plants.
Different plant cultivars and varieties have different moisture needs. Plants that require dryer conditions grow fewer roots inside the water of Octopots Hydro Reservoir while plants that like a wetter environment will fill the Hydro Reservoir with roots. Water levels inside the Hydro Reservoir are easy to see at a glance with Octopot’s Depth Gauge.
PLANTS FEED ON DEMAND
Octopot Grow System’s sub irrigation watering method is superior to other cannabis growing systems. Octopots feed plants from the bottom up without pumps or power. Water and nutrients are available to plants so they can feed on demand according to their individual needs. Plants feeding on demand increases their rate of growth because there are no periods of drought or drowning from over and under watering.
SUB IRRIGATION IS SUPERIOR
Octopot’s sub irrigation is healthier for plants than hand watering and drip irrigation systems which essentially force feeds plants on a regimented schedule regardless of plant needs. Sub irrigation feeds plants from the bottom so the top layer of soil stays dry. Octopot's dry top layer fends off fungus gnats and other egg laying pests.
MODERATE WATER TEMPS
Water temperature is important for plant health, and often overlooked. Octopot Grow Systems moderate water temperatures protecting plant roots from conditions that are too cool and too warm. Hand watering and drip irrigation in soil pots is typically supplied by well water or tap water. Well water and tap water is too cold for plant roots to tolerate (55 degrees) and will cause plant growth to slow down. Octopots promote fast plant growth.
SAFEGUARD AGAINST GROWER MISTAKES
Octopot’s TWO root zone design provides a safeguard that other cannabis growing systems do not. Octopot Grow Systems buffers against plant loss from grower error such as over fertilization, nutrient mismanagement and dehydration. Nutrient mismanagement (over fertilization) and improper watering are the top two causes of plant loss in soil pots and hydroponic systems.
If the root zone inside Octopot’s Hydro Reservoir is damaged or killed, the plant roots inside the soil of Octopot’s Gro Sleeve® will sustain the plant for several days saving precious yields. Octopot's protect plants from loss much longer than other growing methods.
Octopot’s unique dual root zone design adds a buffering against plant loss that other cannabis growing systems do not offer. If growers accidentally over fertilize in DWC systems, ebb and flow growing systems or other hydroponic systems plants can die very quickly, sometimes in a matter of hours. When you damage the only root system in a soil grown plant, they typically die or suffer damage that stunts growth and diminishes yields.

SAVE TIME
TAKE A VACATION!
Octopot Grow Systems will water and feed plants up to a week depending on the plant size and stage of growth. Trusting other people to water your plants for you can be risky. Growers who travel for work or leisure can rely on Octopot Grow Systems for consistent optimal watering.
Hand watering plants in soil pots or grow bags is laborious and unreliable. Over and under watering is one of the top two reasons plants fail. By the time a grower notices the signs of over or under watering, damage to the plant has already occurred.
Periods of drought and drowning can harm plant quality and diminish yields. Octopot Grow Systems provide optimal amounts of moisture to plants automatically. Plants in Octopots are consistently watered so they grow faster which speeds up veg time!

LOW MAINTENANCE
Save time on maintenance. Octopot Grow Systems do not require maintenance during the growing cycle. Drip irrigation systems require careful management and regular clean outs to prevent clogged nozzles increasing the maintenance time. Hydroponic systems such as DWC systems or Ebb and Flow growing systems require careful nutrient management which is time consuming and often has a steep learning curve which can result in plant loss.
NO DRAINING
Octopot Grow Systems do not require draining during the growing cycle. Octopots function with a wider range of pH levels and nutrient levels than most hydroponic systems. Plants grown in Octopots utilize the optimum levels of fertilizer and nutrients so they can grow to their greatest potential. The hybrid nature of the Octopot Grow System prevents fertilizer and nutrient build up. Excess salts precipitate on the outside of the Gro Sleeve®, removing them from the root zone.
LOWER COSTS
NO WASTE
Octopots are a no waste system. They use less inputs, conserve water, and do not need maintenance during the growing cycle. After harvest, simply clean your Octopot Grow System and start growing again.
LOWER INPUTS
Octopot Grow Systems minimize inputs while maximizing outputs. Octopot’s design is a waste-free closed loop system. Nutrients, fertilizers and water in an Octopot Grow System are consumed by the plant not washed through the roots like hydroponic systems or soil pots. Octopot Grow Systems use half as much soil and produce twice the root mass.
NO NUTRIENT POLLUTION
Watering and feeding soil pots washes water and nutrients through the pot and out the bottom causing waste and increasing input costs. Similarly, hydroponic systems are constantly flushed creating waste and higher costs for inputs.
As cannabis legalization expands, municipalities are constructing regulations to protect ground water from nutrient pollution. Hydroponic waste can be recycled however it carries bacteria, viruses, and diseases so it must be filtered. Filtering hydroponic waste for reuse requires sterilization equipment which drives up cultivation costs and increases maintenance.

NEEDS NO POWER
Octopot Grow Systems cost less to use because they do not rely on power, pumps, water chillers or other equipment to operate. Added equipment like irrigation systems for soil pots increase startup costs, maintenance and repair costs. Hydroponic systems depend on power to run pumps and to control water temperatures. Power loss in DWC systems or ebb and flow hydroponic systems can mean plant loss in a matter of hours. Octopots are easy to assemble, low maintenance and highly productive.

FIGHTS PESTS AND DISEASE
Octopot Grow Systems reduce the need for herbicides and pesticides saving growers time and money while also improving plant health. Octopot's unique design creates an environment for plants that protects them from molds, and prevents fungus gnats and other egg laying insects from breeding.
Octopot's sub-irrigation design feeds plants from the bottom up keeping the top layer of soil dry. Molds thrive in wet environments. Fungus gnats and other egg laying pests require a wet environment to breed. Octopot's dry top layer fends off pests and disease.
Growing outdoors reduces the carbon footprint of plant production and lowers costs. Soil pots and fabric grow bags not only leach water and nutrients into the ground but also allow plant roots to grow outside of the container. Root migration can cause plant damage from soil borne diseases. Octopot's closed loop system prevents root migration. Plants in Octopots are protected from soil borne diseases that would require fungicide applications. City dwellers can be at risk of toxins or heavy metals in the soil. Using Octopot Grow Systems outdoors prevents plant contamination from toxins in the soil.
