Grow indoors or outdoors with Octopot Soil Hydro Hybrid Grow Systems. Octopots water plants up to a week or more depending on the size and stage of your plant. Octopot Auto Fill Systems connect to a rain barrel or water reservoir so plants are watered and fed for weeks. Plants in Octopots are never over or under watered. Octopots unique design produces plants with two root zones. Double the roots double the fruits!
Plants feed on demand as much or as little as that specific variety needs. Octopots oxygenate water and aerate the growing media eliminating conditions that create root circling or root rot. Plants in Octopots are healthier and produce better yields than soil pots. Octopots do not waste water, fertilizer or nutrients like hydroponic systems and soil pots. Octopots use less inputs, and save growers time and money.

SUB-IRRIGATION IS SUPERIOR
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
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 for any space, and scaling up is simple.
KEEP ROOTS COOL
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.
ROOT PRUNING
Octopot's dual root zone design keeps plants healthier longer than hard sided containers. Hard sided containers restrict air flow causing root circling which slows plant growth. Octopots work like root pruning pots or air pruning pots keeping the growing media well aerated. Well aerated growing media improves nutrient and moisture uptake and prevents roots from overheating. Plants that are root pruned build larger branching root systems and produce healthier yields.
REDUCE HERBICIDES & PESTICIDES
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.
NO WASTE - LOW INPUTS
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, clone or cutting to harvest in an Octopot Grow System. Use Octo Dome to start plant cuttings and grow tap roots. Tap roots are a super highway for nutrient and water uptake so plants grow faster and larger.
