Hydro-Pot V2

thingiverse

This is the second generation of the hydro-pot. I improved the design and made it a bit more compact in its overall size. You can use the hydro-pot for cultivating a plant by inserting a seedling in a jiffy into the top part and then put the loaded top part into the bottom part, which you have to fill with your nutrient solution before. The assembly is designed in the principle of the kratky method (the plant gets water and nutrients from the pot the whole time by not needing any soil. in the beginning you have to make sure that there is a little gap between root and nutrient. at some point the level will be a half or lower. at this point you have to make sure that it stays at a certain level so the roots get enough oxygen and not getting drowned in the water.). it is known that this method increases the growing rate. i wish you much fun experimenting with it.
