hole located near the top of the manifold/injector.
Insert the blower adapter, then secure blower as
shown with the supplied safety cord.

If using an appliance timer turn the blower unit’s
switch to the on position, and then plug the blower’s
ALCI plug into a timer.
EASY OPERATION
1. Fill pots
¾ full with growth medium (both sold separately).
2. Rinse soil
before planting, and weekly, by gently adding water from the top. Do this by filling
each Perfect Pot with water and letting it drain through the pot to waste. Rinse each pot twice.
Tip: Lift the pots to feel their weight right after rinsing and letting drain. When feeding, use a
one-minute cycle at required intervals to maintain approximately ¾ of this fully saturated weight
throughout the growth cycle.
3. Plant
seeds, seedlings, cuttings or transplants. Top feed gently by hand after planting with ¼ tsp
Super Boost/gallon of water. Continue to top feed until plants are well rooted, (about 3-5 days).
Tip: Always feed plants according to the weight of the pot. Be careful not to overwater plants,
especially during early root development.
4. Fill Turbo Grow.
a.
Fill Turbo Grow by closing the drain valve and filling the reservoir by adding water into
Turbo Grow’s aqueduct.
b.
Fill until water level settles approximately ½ inch below the tray surface.
5. Follow the feeding guide below.
a.
Following the feeding guide below, use the supplied measuring scoop to add plant food into a
minimum of 300 mL of hot water for 38 L Turbo Grow and 600 mL for 160 L Turbo Grow, shake
until dissolved. When dissolved, remove fertilizer cap from Turbo Grow and add the mixture into
the top of the manifold/injector, then securely replace the fertilizer cap.
b.
Place planted pots in Turbo Grow.
6. Feed plants.
The next day, switch on the blower motor manually or set an appliance timer to
come on for 1-2, one-minute cycles per day when using high-performance Supernatural Brand
soils. Other soils and soil less mixes may have longer times between feedings such as 1-2,
one-minute flood cycles every 2-3 days. When using a timer be sure that the switch on the air
blower is set to the, “ON” position.
Tip: For maximum plant growth, maintain the pot’s moisture level so that the pot’s weight
is approximately equal to ¾ of its fully saturated weight. Add or subtract the number of
one-minute flood cycles to achieve this optimum moisture content 24/7.
7. System Maintenance.
Once per week, drain nutrient reservoir, flush plants with water as in
(Step 2). Replenish nutrient solution as in Step 4 (a and b) and Step 5 (a).
Tip: If the nutrient solution runs too low to flood the plants before the next scheduled nutrient
change, top up the Turbo Grow by adding water into the aqueduct.
