[5-1] Channel 115/54
Made from foodgrade PVC material, highly durable and can be stacked on top of each other. This way you can save a lot space and also act as a germination chamber.
The channel is the base of the whole plattform. And is crucial to be able to use hempfiber as a growing media.
[5-1] Hempfiber
We use a voven hempfiber in the production. The reasons are many but the most prominent once are:
-
Renewable material
-
Compostable
-
Good water retention
-
Ariated structure
-
Cut in desired length
-
Cleaner
-
Resaturants can bring into kitchen
-
Low weight
The main downside with the hempfiber is the brown discolourment of the water initially.
[5-1] 3D printed parts
The parts and components used in the system is 3D printed. These means we can update and improve the models very fast.
The parts uses a Foodgrade PETG material. Also when the part is no longer in use we can recycle it so it's melted back into rawmaterials again.
[5-1] Seeds
We also provide all the seeds we use in our own production. This way you know that it's good quality seeds. And you can expect good results.
We will provide you with growing instructions for all the varities we use in our own production and later also many more.
