Minute Soil - HydroPod Seed Starter and Hydroponic Plugs

Minute Soil HydroPod Seed Starter Plugs are an all-around propagation solution designed for any style of growing system. Whether you are transplanting into a loose soil mix, row crops, or incorporating them into hydroponic, aeroponic, or aquaponic applications, these plugs provide an industry-standard environment for success.

Engineered to maintain their structural integrity throughout your crop's life cycle, these plugs are among the cleanest options on the market. Their unique porosity encourages lateral root growth, leading to healthier plants and increased yields. Because they are pre-drilled and flexible, they allow for easy handling at any age with minimal risk of transplant shock.

How To Plant Seeds With Hydropods - Seed-Starting and Cuttings

Seed-Starting: simply place your seed into the pre-drilled hole at the top of the HydroPod. Keep the plugs in a warm, dark place to optimize germination (avoid temperatures above 90°F). In hydroponic systems, either pre-start your seedlings in trays or place them directly into your hydroponic system.

Cuttings: cut the dibble to accommodate the depth of your cutting. Insert your cutting into the hole, ensuring it is not too deep to allow room for root development. Maintain consistent humidity (70-75%) and keep the plugs damp, but not soaking wet.

Once roots are visible, the plugs are ready to be moved to their permanent home.
