Perfect for Deep Water Culture (DWC) Hydroponics

The 6" Net Pot Bucket Lid is the cornerstone component of any DWC hydroponic system:

• Holds your plant and growing medium securely above the nutrient reservoir
• Allows roots to grow down through the mesh into the oxygenated nutrient solution
• Mesh design promotes exceptional root development and nutrient uptake
• Creates an airtight seal on the bucket to prevent light from entering the reservoir (prevents algae growth)
• Compatible with air stones, air pumps, and water circulation systems

Dual-Function Design

These versatile lids serve two essential functions:

• As a Net Pot: Holds growing medium and plant roots while allowing nutrient solution access
• As a Bucket Lid: Seals the top of your reservoir bucket to block light and prevent contamination

Place one wide-lip net pot bucket lid inside another, hook up your water system and nutrients, and start a hydroponic garden anywhere!

Wide Lip for Easy Handling

The comfortably-sized wide lip along the top of these lids makes them easy to:

• Grab and lift without disturbing plant roots
