System Requirements
**For best results plant seeds, unrooted cuttings, or rooted clones in your Octopot Hybrid Grow
System. Octopot facilitates plant root development, therefore transplanting mature plants with
established root systems will not bear optimal results.

Grow Media to Avoid
Do not use hydroton, clay pebbles, or rock wool.
Super soils can be too heavy and hold too much moisture, limiting air exchange which
damages plants causing root rot. Also, nutrients in super soils tend to be used up to early and
run out too soon in the growth cycle, which starves the plant. Super soil may work with the
Octopot, IF it has the correct ratio of perlite (40%) and enough controlled release nutrients to
support two root systems, not just one.
Sunshine Mix #4 is a professional blend that has the correct ratio needed for the Octopot.
Premier Horticulture (HP) soil also contains the correct ratio.
