When it comes to getting the right results out of a hydroponics project, the kinds of equipment that you choose can be extremely important. One example is the net pots that plants rest in as part of various kinds of grow box or grow kit setups. Net pots provide a basic ‘tray’ for the seed and parts of the root and stem. They will often be filled with a variety of common materials that will allow nutrients and water to reach plant roots and to drain away effectively.
It can be important to get the right sized net pots for a hydroponics project. As experienced growers point out, the net pots don’t have to be big enough to hold the entire root system in most hydroponics projects. However, the net pot does have to be big enough to allow the appropriate access to the plant for maintaining it during the entire growing cycle.
Another issue is how sturdy and stable the small pieces of equipment are. Net pots that leak water can have a negative effect on your overall project. It’s also important to make sure that nutrient-loaded water can drain the way that it is supposed to, where good net pot construction can help.
Most hydroponic projects have a horizontal plant table area that holds a volume of plants in place. Net pots should fit securely into this tray, rather than fitting loosely or unevenly, which can lead to some troubling problems throughout the growth cycle.
For more on exactly the right kinds of equipment for your indoor gardening projects, take a look at your hydroponic retailer’s online catalog. You can find many more details about how to buy and match hydroponic gear that will help you bring your plants to maturity the right way.
