• Description

  The Foody 8 Hydroponic system encourages rapid plant growth by circulating water and nutrients from the base reservoir through the pods and the plant roots. The growing pods are to be filled with a growing medium (such as Hydroton - purchased separately), that hold the plants and moderate temperature.  (Not suitable for root crops such as beets, potatoes, carrots.)

  NOTE: Hydroponic systems like this one require that plant nutrients be added to the water, and that salt levels and pH levels are monitored and managed. If you are new to hydroponics, please see our how-to guide on growing hydroponically with a Foody.

  Outdoors & Indoors: This tower system is suited for outdoor as well as indoor use. If you live in hotter climates (where temperatures regularly exceed 85 F) and plan to grow outdoors, we advise using this tower vs the Foody 12. The large planting pockets and large volume of growing medium in this Foody 8 system effectively insulates the plants. The optimum water temperature for plant growth is 65-75 F.

  (The Foody 12 is a recommended choice for indoor growing & greenhouses because of its improved plant capacity and ease of planting. It too may be used outdoors, but is best in climates where average outdoor temperatures do not exceed 85 F regularly.)
