Just set the sleeve on top of the bed surface. Soil structure and fungal networks stay intact between cycles Roots grow out the open bottom on their own, zero transplant shock Place new plants next to old sleeves, reuse spots after old roots decompose Clean, fast turnaround between cycles Old sleeves stay in bed until roots break down naturally, then remove and reuse What makes it different Transplanting that protects your soil Open Bottom, No Barrier Zero Transplant Shock The pot is a fabric sleeve with no bottom. Roots grow downward through the opening directly into your living soil bed. No pulling plants out of containers, no tearing roots, no recovery period. MoistureLock Liner The same waterproof liner used in Grassroots beds wraps around the sleeve walls, keeping the starter soil evenly moist while the roots establish in the bed below. No Hard Pan Formation Digging holes in living soil beds compacts the surrounding soil over time, creating a hard pan. Bottomless pots sit on top of the bed surface, so the soil structure underneath stays undisturbed. 4" Aeration Strip Breathable fabric at the bottom of the sleeve walls provides oxygen exchange and air pruning before roots reach the bed. Prevents root circling during the establishment phase. Reusable Across Cycles After harvest, leave the old sleeve in place until the root mass decomposes. Then pull the sleeve, wash it, and use it again. Each sleeve lasts for many cycles. Three Sizes for Different Stages 1-gallon for clones and small seedlings. 3-gallon for established starts that need more root development time. 5-gallon for larger transplants or growers who want extra establishment time before the roots hit the bed.

Fill with your seed-starting mix or light soil blend. Plant your clone or seedling in the sleeve. 2 Let roots fill the sleeve Water normally and let the plant develop a strong root system inside the sleeve. The MoistureLock liner keeps moisture consistent while the aeration strip provides air pruning at the base. 3 Move the sleeve onto your bed When the roots have filled the sleeve, lift the entire pot and place it directly on top of your living soil bed. Roots will grow through the open bottom into the bed below on their own. 4 Harvest, leave, repeat After harvest, leave the old sleeve in the bed. Place your next plant right next to it. Once the old roots decompose, remove the sleeve, wash it, and reuse it in the next spot.

Call us: 716-217-0353 / help@happyhydro.com Questions Frequently asked questions Do I need a living soil bed to use these? These are designed specifically for living soil bed growers. The whole point is that roots grow through the open bottom into the bed below. You can also use them on capillary mats or trays during the rooting phase, but they're made to end up on top of a soil bed. How many bottomless pots can I fit in a 4x4 bed? A 4x4 bed (46" x 46") can comfortably hold 4 to 6 plants in 1-gallon sleeves, or 2 to 4 in 3-gallon sleeves. How many you run depends on your training style, plant size, and how much canopy coverage you're aiming for. Do the roots really grow through the open bottom on their own? Yes. Once the root system in the sleeve makes contact with the living soil bed below, roots naturally grow downward into the larger soil volume. Most growers see roots reaching through within a few days of placement on the bed. What should I fill the sleeve with? Use a light seed-starting mix or a gentle living soil blend. Avoid hot soil mixes for clones and seedlings. The sleeve is just the starter container. The plant will eventually draw most of its nutrition from the living soil bed below once roots grow through. How many times can I reuse a sleeve? Many times, as long as the fabric is intact. After the old root mass decomposes in the bed, pull the sleeve out, shake off any remaining soil, and machine wash on a cool cycle. Air dry only. The same durable geotextile used in the full-size beds. What if my order arrives damaged or I change my mind?
