How it works: The Wilma is an active hydro version of a drip irrigation system. Plants benefit from the accurate feeding of of active hydroponics, combined with the flexibility of growing in pots. Pots are placed on a tray above a nutrient solution tank. Plants and drippers are placed in the pots with the chosen growing medium - clay, coco, soil or rockwool. You can set the irrigation frequency with a timer, which triggers the drippers to automatically feed the plants. The nutrient solution works its way through the medium and over the roots of the plants, draining into the catchment tank and drawing oxygen into the root zone. The Wilma offers the flexibility to be used as an irrigation systems with tank to catch run off or as a fully re-circulating hydro system.
Hints & Tips Gloden Rule: Use the correct dripper for the growing medium. When growing in clay pebbles, use the flood drippers. For more absorbent media - soil, coco, grow cubes, mapito - use arrow drippers. If using clay pebbles treat the Wilma as a re-circulating hydroponic system and top up the tank every few days with half strength nutrient solution. If using an absorbent medium - like soil, coc or rockwool - treat the Wilma system with a catchment tank. The aim is to minimise run off and top up the tank with full strength nutrient solution. Use a cleaning product to prevent dripper blockage, especially in hard water areas. ATA Clean from Atami is ideal for this. Set feeds on a segmental timer: when plants are young start with 2x or 3x 15 minute feeds per day when using clay pebbles or 1x orx 2 15 minute feeds a day for absorbent medium. Increase the number of feed periods as the plant matures.
