HydroPod™ System by Esoteric Hydroponics

System comes with pump, digital timer, clay pebbles and full instructions. Also available as complete kit. See Starter Kits.

These systems incorporate brand new evolutions in hydro farming innovation. Simply put, theses are deep pod ebb and floods. Each pod has a large 12 litres of root space allowing for a longer dry period between floods optimising aeration to the rootzone. Due to the depth of the pod (9-10 inches) and quality of the pump, the system takes minutes to flood and minutes to drain, resulting in a rapid flood and rapid drain.

The water, due to its large volume, acts as a big piston pushing all the old air out of the root ball during the flood, then during the drain sucks fresh air in with approximately three times the pull compared to existing shallow depth flood and drains that are generally available, thereby getting considerably more aeration to the rootzone.

The system incorporates safety features, one being a shallow reservoir built into each individual pod so if a power cut strikes or the pump fails, your plants won't die. With the depth of growpods the system incorporates excellent support for your bigger plants. Again due to the size of the root space you can grow up to 3 plants in each pod. The HydroPod™ systems can come built to measure, the systems can be built into any shape of room optimising the space available.

Each pod can be removed separately without disturbing the existing pods within the system, allowing you to start and finish plants at separate times or enabling the removal of diseased or unwanted plants without disturbing the other plants in the system. You can even turn the pods individually creating more even growth. We believe no such system has had as much thought and time put into its evolution which is still on going.
