Hydroponics Tower Nursery Starter Cup Holder

The Hydroponics tower is amazing, but you need to be able to start seeds, outside of a nutrient rich environment.

When you first start your hydroponics tower you can start the seeds, minimal watering, and no nutrients.  But once you're plants start to grow you need adjusted PH, nutrients, and more water flow.

Because of this you should not start new seeds inside an already growing tower.  But if you plan something that you know will need to be picked and removed when its done growing, instead of just trimming, then its beneficial to have the new plant to replace the old plant already ready to go into a nutrient rich tower with more water.

Here's the solution.  These net cup holders fit over any plastic or glass drinking cup.  This allows the growth medium to breathe, allows the excess water to drip out and not make a mess, and allows you to star the new seeds in the same cup that you will transfer directly into the tower.  

You could star these outside of the cups, but the stress of moving plants can be detremential to the growth and could even kill the plant during transfer.
