Octopot 3 Gallon Grow System BenefitsUsing Octopot’s 3 Gallon Grow System saves time and protects plants by avoiding labor intensive transplanting and eliminating the risk of transplant shock.
Octopot’s Gro Sleeve® and Hydro Wick® function interchangeably in both the 3 Gallon and the 6 Gallon Grow Systems. When plants outgrow the veg stage simply remove the Gro Sleeve® with plant and place it in Octopot’s 6 Gallon Grow System to continue growing.

Octopot Gro Sleeve ® Benefits
How is a Gro Sleeve® different than other fabric pots or grow bags?
• Octopot’s Gro Sleeve is made from woven fiber instead of felt like non-woven fiber used by other fabric grow bag manufacturers.
• Octopot’s woven fiber does not wick water and stays dry preventing the growth of molds and algae.
• Octopot’s Gro Sleeve is constructed and designed to be open on the bottom so plant roots have unrestricted access to the Hydro Reservoir where they develop a secondary hydroponic root zone.
• Using Octopot Grow Systems instead of fabric pots protects plant roots from growing into the ground where they can be exposed to soil borne diseases or toxic chemicals.
• Using Octopot Grow Systems is cleaner because water and fertilizer or nutrients do not wash out the bottom.
• Using Octopot Grow Systems is saves money because there is no waste of water and no loss of costly fertilizer or nutrients from washout.
