HELPFUL GUIDELINES
PLACEMENT
Abundant light, proper temperature and
adequate ventilation are crucial for fast
growth, healthy plants and higher yields.
Place the WaterFarm in a warm, well-lit,
well-ventilated location, such as an outdoor
garden, sunlit window, patio or greenhouse.
Keep your WaterFarm away from areas
where the inevitable dripping that occurs
during filling, draining and pH adjustment
could cause water damage.
PLANTING
To prepare a seedling or a plant for
transplanting, remove all soil and/or organic
material from around the roots. Plants must
be sturdy with established roots before
transplanting into the WaterFarm. Choose
seedlings because it’s more difficult to
successfully transplant older plants. If your
plant has been growing in soil or peat moss,
gently remove the plant from its pot and
carefully rinse as much soil as possible from
the roots before transplanting. Although
this method of transplanting from soil to
hydroponics is somewhat risky, as soil may
contain disease organisms that proliferate
in the rich hydroponic solution, we have
had success using this transplant method
and encourage you to try it. Or, you can
avoid these problems by starting plants from
cuttings in one of our RainForest Systems.
If you plan to grow several small
plants in the WaterFarm, place your
plants just outside the drip ring,
near the drip holes. If you prefer
a single large plant, place it in the
center of the drip ring. Gently add
Clay Pebbles around the plant roots
until thoroughly covered.
FILLING
When filling the system with a nutrient
solution it is best to mix the nutrients in a
known volume of fresh water. Then pour
into the WaterFarm until the water level
reaches the white line on the Drain Level
Tube. The system holds approximately 2
gallons of nutrient and will sustain small
plants one to two weeks and may only last a
few days with larger plants.
