The MaxiCube is a mess-free hydroponic growing pot that uses up to 90% less water than conventional soil pots. This means that you spend far less time watering your plants every time they dry up, freeing you up to leave your plants unattended for significant periods of time.
By growing hydroponically you have the ability to use Hydroponic nutrients to provide the perfect blend of macro and micronutrients for plant growth. The pots can be used in conjunction with our EasyGro and BreezyGro lights to form a complete growing system that can be done completely indoors.
You can choose to buy this product with Smart Soil or Expanded Clay

Growing Mediums
Smart Soil
Smart soil can be used for germinating and growing plants from seed, or transplanting propagated plants. It’s main features are:
- High water retention
- Low Oxygen retention
- Moderate physical support for plants
Expanded clay
Expanded clay does not hold any water, so if you plant seeds on it they won't grow. Expanded clay is awesome for growing plants that already have an existing root system - making it a great medium for propagations and transplants. It’s main features are:
- Low water retention
- Moderate Oxygen retention
- High physical support for plants
