Nutriculture Oxypot Single
Oxypots produce massive yields without a timer and with hardly any media.
The roots grow through the mesh pots into the misting chamber full of nutrient solution. The air pump constantly oxygenates the solution and the roots have constant access to water, nutrients and oxygen for exceptionally fast growth.
It’s impossible to saturate plants in an Oxypot because the roots only take up what they need when they need it. Just keep the misting chamber topped-up and it’s impossible to underwater because the solution is always available to the plants.
The misting chambers hold 19 to 100 Litres of nutrient solution – depending on the size you choose, so there’s no need to visit your plants daily.
Each plant only needs 1 litre of clay pebbles so you don’t have to handle huge bags of media.
Oxypot is perfect for growers who want to:
- Use less media.
- Space pots out.
- Make the most of floor space with a self-contained grow system.
- Turn plants under lights.

Application
- Remove the nut and one washer from the swivel elbow assembly.
- Push the threaded end of the swivel elbow assembly through the whole in the pot.
- Reattach the washer and nut and secure the swivel elbow in position using a suitable spanner (IWSC2201).
- Turn the elbow so that the blue pipe is vertical and clip the pipe into position using the + on the underside of the rim.
- Connect the air line to the air stone and place the air stone in the recess in the base of the pot. Run the air line through the groove in the top of the pot and connect to the outlet of the air pump.
- Place the lid on to the pot so that the access cap is to the left of the blue pipe.
- Place the basket in position.
Hints & Tips:
- Pump – leave the pump on 24/7 – the plant’s roots need constant access to nutrient solution and oxygen.
- Transplanting – young plants started in 1” rockwool cubes, root riots or jiffy’s can be transplanted into an Oxypot, they must be root bound before they go into the system.
- Plants under lights will take up water at a greater rate than they take up nutrient. Over time the EC of the solution will rise. Top up the pot with half strength nutrient solution, check EC and add extra nutrient if required. Then adjust pH level and perform a complete solution change every 2-3 weeks, depending plant size, water quality and hardness.
