PRODUCT DETAILS
Origin Systems combines the ease of growing in pots with the growth boosting and maintenance-saving benefits of automated, timer-based watering and feeding. Their innovative design helps bridge the gap between soil and hydroponic gardening and helps resolve common issues associated with hand-watering plants.
Hand-watering plants is not only an often time-consuming and inconvenient task that often needs to be done daily, but it also means your plants are blasted with water and nutrients all at once, which can lead to the problem of overfeeding and overwatering.
Origin Systems are great because they work on a timer-based drip feed system, which can be set to give your plants an ample amount of nutrients and water throughout the day, without the need for your constant attention - a perfect solution for those of us who live busy lives and one of the main benefits associated with hydroponic based systems.
However, with these systems you can use pretty much any growing media you like, from soil and coco to clay pebbles and rockwool. The systems are designed to be versatile and suit a range of growing needs - we personally recommend clay pebbles as they tend to give better results and are easier to manage and set-up with the Origin Systems.
The boosted growth stems from feeding plants little and often. This staggered method of delivering water and nutrients to plants has been shown time and time again to more effective at promoting growth and increasing yields than feeding and watering only once a day.
Origin Systems are also an ideal solution for any grower looking to move from soil and test the water with hydroponic-style gardening. The familiarity of using pots remains for soil growers, but the benefits of automated watering and feeding will really help make the leap from soil to hydroponic cultivation.
These XXL Origin Systems have a reservoir volume of 150 litres and the tray measures 115cm x 115cm x 20cm. There are four different pot sizes available with the XXL Origin System for maximum versatility; 6 litre pots, 11 litre pots, 18 litre pots, and 25 litre pots.
The choice is yours on what pot size you wish to use, and the systems are designed to be fully interchangeable, so you can replant into larger pots when necessary without having to buy a whole new system.
The complete Origin kit contains a tank, tray, pots, pump, delivery system, flood drippers, arrow drippers, and a full set of instructions for easy set up.
A timer is not included in the kit but will be required to set feeding and watering schedules. A segmental timer will be more than adequate, is inexpensive, and can be set at 15-minute intervals over a 24hr period to ensure you have full control over the delivery of water and nutrients.
If this system is too big for you then there are three other smaller sized systems available - just check out the rest of our range.
