OCTOPOT'S SUB-IRRIGATION WATERING METHOD IS SUPERIOR TO WATERING PLANTS OVER THE TOP
Octopot's dual root zone design bottom feeds plants so they grow faster and healthier. Sub-irrigation basically makes water and nutrients available to plant roots so they can feed on demand according to their individual needs. 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.
TAKE A VACATION FROM YOUR PLANTS
Hand watering plants in pots or grow bags is laborious and unreliable. 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 harm plant quality and yields. Octopot Grow Systems will water and feed plants up to a week depending on the plant size and stage of growth. Octopot Auto Fill Systems connect directly to a water source and can be used with fertilizer injectors to make the entire process automatic. Octopot can customize grow systems set ups for any space, and scaling up is simple.
OCTOPOT GROW SYSTEMS MODERATE WATER TEMPS FOR HEALTHIER PLANTS
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 is typically supplied by well water or tap water which is too cold for plant roots to tolerate (55 degrees) and will cause plant growth to slow down.
LOWER HERBICIDE AND PESTICIDE USE WITH OCTOPOTS
Octopot's sub-irrigation design creates a dry top layer of soil or growing media. In contrast, watering over the top of the soil creates a moist environment perfect for egg laying pests and molds, driving up costs for pesticide and herbicide applications. Octopot's dry environment protects plants from molds, fungus gnats and other egg laying insects. Using Octopot Grow Systems reduces the need for herbicides and pesticides which saves growers time, money, and improves plant health.
OCTOPOTS WASTE NOTHING, REDUCE INPUT COSTS
Octopots are closed loop systems that eliminate water, fertilizer and nutrient waste. Hand watering washes nutrients and water through the growing media causing messy waste. Waste increases input costs and adds expense for waste management. Octopots protect the environment from nutrient pollution and conserve water and inputs. Octopots closed loop system also prevents root migration so plants are protected from soil borne diseases that would require fungicide applications.
NO TRANSPLANTING
Octopot Grow Systems save growers time and labor by eliminating transplanting. Octopots protect plants against the risk of plant damage and plant loss from transplant shock. Plants can go from seed or clone to harvest in an Octopot Grow System. Use the 3 Gallon Grow System for young plants to save space. Octopot’s Gro Sleeve® and Hydro Wick® function interchangeably in both the 3 Gallon and the 6 Gallon Octopot Grow Systems. When young plants outgrow the 3 Gallon Grow System simply move the Gro Sleeve® with plant into the larger 6 Gallon Grow System to continue growing.
