Are you calling me a bottom feeder? Lol kidding.
No it’s actually a stacking expandable potting system.
Instead of replacing the pot you’re using you simply expand it with more growing medium and it continues to grow without the risk of shock or messiness to clean up.
I came up with the idea about 5-6 years into growing and after years of thinking to myself, “there has to be a better way”, I came up with it while sitting in my grow room trimming some bud.
I sat on the idea for nearly a decade. Then earlier this year my schedule cleared up and I ran it by the wife. She lit up cuz it was something I talked about over the years and always said I regretted not doing something about it. She urged me to move forward with it.
So one day I was searching for prototype companies and came upon an article that said many times you can use things around the house. I seen a Clorox wipe container and thought wait a second. That’s sorta what it would look like. So I went to the store and bought a pack of em.
Then started cutting them and assembling them as I imagined it. I cut the bottom out of a hydroponic net pot and glued it to the bottom and viola it was complete.
I started growing some plants in it to make sure it would work and sure enough it works perfectly as I imagined it would.
When it came time to expand the pot (or transplant) I added a layer of soil underneath and within seconds it was done. No mess to clean up. No trying to get enough soil tucked around the sides, nothing. What used to take several minutes took me about 3 seconds. My mind was blown.
It dawned on me we’ve been doing things the wrong way since the beginning of container gardening. We’ve been using a square wheel this entire time and I just created a round one.
Since that original prototype I’ve hired an engineering firm to design it and while they did a great job it’s just not cost effective to mass produce. So I’ve since gone back to my original design and tweaked it to make it even better.
My intention is to create a cheap package where anyone can grow anything (mainly cannabis). You just open a premeasured bag of soil. Put it in the container. Add your seed and water it. All nutrients will be available within the soil. When it comes time to flower you just open the other bag of soil, fill the other container and put it underneath the original container so the roots can grow into it. The nutrients for the flowering phase will be in that soil so my intention is there will never be a need to bottle feed nutrients. Just water.
It would be an all inclusive kit you can buy and grow a plant. So basically anyone with access to light and water should be able to grow cannabis.
Of course it won’t be ideal for every strain but it will work will the majority of them.
And that is The Growing Pot. The pot that grows WITH you!
I also do have lots of cool ideas for other versions and editions of it. It is also versatile enough it can be used for hydroponics, coco or soil. So if at anytime you want to try another growing method you can without buying new containers.
