All About Water. Octopot Education:
In this post on water, we identify problems with conventional crop production and its effects on the environment. We also highlight scary stats on water usage, define the term Evapotranspiration, and explain why Octopots are so good at conserving water and better for the environment.

All About Water. Octopot Education:
In our previous posts on water, we identified how Octopots grow both hydroponically and via the soil. What exactly are the differences between roots growing in just water and roots growing in soil? What is Hydro-patterning, what affects root growth in soil, and what on earth is Root Hybridization? There may be more to it than you think. All About Water. Octopot Education:
Octopots are a dual root zone hybrid grow system utilizing the benefits of hydroponic growing and soil growing of plants. In this post we look at how water acts in the soil surrounding our roots, water usage of the cannabis plant, and how Octopots outperform the pangs of soil growing alone. All About Water.

Octopots are a dual root zone hybrid grow system utilizing the benefits of hydroponic growing and soil growing of plants. In this post we look at the concept of hydroponic growing and survey the various sources of water used for growing plants in water. Which are the best sources and what shouldn't you use? We identify pros and cons of each as well as highlight the simplest hydroponic growing system, the wick! There's a lot of information to go over so let's get to it! All About Water.

In our last post we talked about what transpiration is and how water moves through the plant. Next we will take a look at the environmental factors that help create the driving force for water movement out of the plant. Further we will discuss how carbon dioxide absorption and water loss are connected, as well as what factors control the rate of transpiration in our plants. Let's dive in! All About Water. Octopot Education:
When talking about plants and water usage, the biggest impact is through plant transpiration. In this first part we'll be describing the strong force that is transpiration and how every plant is virtually a hydrological pump. We will dive into just how much water is lost and what are the plant factors that make up transpiration such as plant stomata, boundary layer, and cuticle. We will also take a look at the science behind how water molecules move through the roots and up through the plant. There's a lot of info here but understanding plant transpiration is crucial to grasping what our plants need in order to grow their best! All About Water. Octopot Education:
We know plants need water for irrigation, but that's not the whole story. Water hosts many important properties for a plant's growth and development. From cell pressure to photosynthesis, water is paramount to the success of your grow. Let's take a look at the basic foundation of water and its importance to your plants! |
