![]() That is bad because as the plants continue to grow the roots will not branch out into the dry areas. The water is looking for the easiest path and just flow along and around the roots. ![]() Even if you flood it with water the water will tend to just wet area right around the roots. It is very difficult to “re-wet” it completely. However for a smaller grower without all of the monitors and alarms, those rockwool slabs could dry out if the injection system failed in any way or was just not feeding enough to a growing plant. Large plants are usually more of a “long term” plant and need more root area than an NFT channels offers (they can also capsize the channels), so hydroponics (a lot of very large growers use hanging gutters and rockwool slabs. Package Dimensions: 13.8 x 11.8 x 9.NFT channels are designed for growing small leaf crops such as lettuce and small herbs, but growing larger plants such as tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, and peppers in NFT channels is difficult, if not impossible. The Bato bucket system provides a solution that offers scalability, combined with a small form factor. While larger media beds can be used, they are not always ideal. Hydroponics rely on the use of growing mediums to ensure that plants have a place to anchor, and benefit from stability. These buckets are used for both hydroponics and aquaponics, and feature the ability to use a single watering line and a single drainage line for multiple media beds when lined up together. At first glance, the Bato bucket looks like nothing more than a square conventional planter. Bato buckets can be connected easily, allowing hydroponic systems to be scaled to virtually any size needed. Dimensions: 12" x 10" x 9" Capacity: 11L Color: Granite White Material: Food Grade PP Weight: 360 grmsĪ Dutch bucket, the Bato bucket is perhaps the most commonly used container for holding plants in a hydrponic growing system. Easily joined together, these systems can be scaled to any size, and are one of the most reliable and easily controlled growing methods. They are typically arranged in rows on the floor or on benches, with one irrigation supply pipe feeding drippers from above and one drainage line circulating back to the reservoir from below. ![]() The Dutch Bucket mounts directly on top of a 1-1/2 inch water collection pipe for efficient recycling of water. The drain siphon elbow (included) maintain approximately 2 inches of water / nutrients in the bottom of the bucket to prevent the roots from drying out between watering. They can be used with various type of growing media such as clay pebbles, perlite, coconut coir and vermiculite. ![]() Our Dutch or Bato Bucket is designed for growing vine crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants etc.
