iDOO Replacement Sponges for the Growth System (60pcs.), Replacement Organic Peat Sponges for Hydrophonics 12-Pod Internal Giradino System

I bought these as spares for my iDOO 20Pods System. I was expecting identical ones to those that came with the kit as it is the same company. Initially alarmed at the small thin size - but these are good for the system. I soaked one for an hour or so until it expanded and then it fits the basket perfectly - with the tail piece dropping through the bottom of the basket which will actually help draw the water up and give framework for the roots. The top part sits at the same as the originals. Photo 2 shows the new skinny sponge next to the original kit sponge and then the expanded skinny at the end. Photo 3 shows kit sponge in basket. Photo 1 is the expanded replacement (skinny) sponge in the basket with tail dropping through to water. I haven't needed to use the replacements yet - but am confident that they will be perfect for the job. No need to panic or return as these will be fine once they have been pre soaked.

At first I was amiss that these were narrower and longer than the plugs that came with the iDOO iG-310. I inserted them into to the basket and they fell way to the bottom. BUT, after they soak up some water they swell and fit perfectly. It is best to soak them first, then insert. I like the longer length as it will allow succession planting by making contact with a lower water level. The photo shows the size before soaking and after.

The sponges themselves work great as a growing medium. Could use a fatter sponge for my cup holders to fit snug. Will check next time.

Duur maar origineel en dus prima.
