{"product_id":"air-dome","title":"Autopot - Air Dome","description":"\u003cp\u003eSupercharge your AutoPots by getting more air to the roots with the Air Dome. Because of the increased oxygen around the roots, it can increase growth by up to 50%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBigger, better plants in less time. Simply place an Air Dome in the bottom of the pot, fill with your usual growing medium, and connect the airline to an air pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the Air Dome Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Air Dome is a dome-shaped piece of plastic mesh that houses a cross-section of porous tubing. It sits at the bottom of the container, buried underneath the substrate. When connected to an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thehydrobros.com\/collections\/air-pumps-air-stones\"\u003eair pump\u003c\/a\u003e (sold separately), the mesh protects the flow of air moving through the porous tubing towards the root zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxygen is essential for healthy roots. Because AutoPots are fed from underneath, supplying air to the container helps ensure the substrate doesn't become too soggy, which can lead to root diseases like Pythium. A plentiful oxygen supply creates a root-friendly environment with ongoing benefits from the earliest stages through to harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use the Air Dome\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall the Air Dome before transferring substrate into the AutoPot container. Connect 4 x 2 inch pieces of porous tubing to the outlets of the included cross connector, then connect the end of each to the four points around the inner circumference of the Air Dome. On the outer circumference, fit \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thehydrobros.com\/products\/4mm-air-line\"\u003e4mm airline tubing\u003c\/a\u003e (sold separately) to the inlet point, with the other end attached to your air pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace your \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thehydrobros.com\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=copper+root+control+sheet\"\u003ecopper root control disc\u003c\/a\u003e (supplied with the AutoPot) in the bottom of the container with the copper side facing up, then place the Air Dome on top. Make sure connections are secure before adding substrate to cover the dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf supplying multiple AutoPots from the same air pump, keep the airline tubing between the pump and each container at equal lengths, to maintain even pressure and oxygenate each container equally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color:#f5f3ff;border-left:4px solid #6d28d9;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#5b21b6;\"\u003ePart of our Gravity-Fed Systems range:\u003c\/strong\u003e browse the full lineup in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thehydrobros.com\/collections\/bottom-fed-hydroponic-systems\"\u003eGravity-Fed Systems\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AUTOPOT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39863018225848,"sku":"3552","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/9092\/7032\/products\/autopot-grow-systems-autopot-air-dome-the-hydro-bros-1254943492.jpg?v=1787460371","url":"https:\/\/www.thehydrobros.com\/de\/products\/air-dome","provider":"The Hydro Bros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
