Capillary Mat System, 4’ x 4’
Here's a great, automated systems for growing seedlings, starts, and clones. Just hook it up to a gravity reservoir or a pressurized water line (with a pressure reducer) and make sure that those small, vulnerable plants don't dry out or drown.
- Watch out for old info: this used to include a Blumat Surface mount but now it's an option along with using a Blumat sensor in one of the pots, manually adding water, wicking it with a strip of cap mat, and using a Surface Mount with Globe rather than connecting to pressure.

The water wicks up from the bottom so it doesn't squeeze the oxygen out of your planting mix or disturb delicate seed sprouts like hand-watering easily does.
