Nutriculture Flo-Gro Single Dripper System - 16L Tank Volume | 56CM x 46CM x 28CM

The Flo-Gro is a super-oxygenated pot with a timer. It’s renowned for producing huge yields. The pot is filled with clay pebbles and nutrient solution is pumped from the reservoir and over the plants through a dripper ring as per the timer settings. Ideal for maximising growth and yields from large plants and cultivating plants for cuttings. The use of a timer means that longer and more frequent feeds can be delivered to plants as they mature.

The Flo-Gro produces much bigger harvests than plants grown in traditional pots but is just as simple to use. The timer triggers a pump to push nutrient solution up to a dripper ring which drips the solution over the clay pebbles in the planter. Whatever the plant doesn’t take up drains back into the tank, pulling fresh oxygen down to the roots which encourage growth.

Why yields are bigger when using a Flo-Gro?

The secret to the huge yields is that the Flo Gro is a super-oxygenated pot and plants with better access to oxygen produce bigger yields.

• Oxygen and pots – When a plant is hand-watered the water fills the air spaces between the soil particles and this prevents the roots from accessing oxygen. It’s only as the media dries out that more oxygen becomes available to the roots. The key is to water little and often, but this means lots of work to keep on top of watering.
• Oxygen and the Flo-Gro – In a Flo-Gro the access to oxygen is superb because the roots receive fresh oxygen-rich air every time the unused solution drains through the pebbles into the tank.
• Fast-draining – The speed at which the solution drains through the pebbles is critical in pulling oxygen into the root area, the Flo-Gro has been designed to ensure the drainage is at the optimum speed.
• Clay pebbles – Clay pebbles are used in a Flo-Gro instead of soil, or coco because the regular timed feeding means we don’t want or need the growing medium to retain much water. This is important because clay pebbles allow much more air around the roots than any other growing medium.
• Surface area – The shape and size of the Flo Gro expose a large amount of the clay pebbles to the air so that even more oxygen is present in the root zone.
• And one more thing – The timer triggers feeding and watering much more frequently than is possible with hand-watering. This means plants are able to take up much more water and nutrients than if they were hand-watered and therefore yields are much bigger and growth is faster.
• The ideal environment for long term plants.
• No other pot provides better access to oxygen.
