General Hydroponics RainForest 236 - Manual

The RainForest System allows you to rapidly root cuttings and germinate seeds.
You can raise small plants to maturity in the RainForest, or start your plants in the
RainForest and transplant them to your garden or to another hydroponic system
such as the General Hydroponics WaterFarm.
You will be amazed by the kinds of plants that can be propagated from cuttings
using the RainForest. These include fruit and nut trees, ornamental shrubs, vegeta-
bles, and flowers -- many of which have never been propagated by cuttings before.
Of course, easily-propagated plants will root quickly and grow phenomenally in the
RainForest.
The RainForest secret is the patented aero-hydroponic method of delivering the
nutrient solution. Oxygen-charged nutrient solution is sprayed through the air onto
the cuttings, seeds, and newly formed roots. This oxygen-rich nutrient solution con-
stantly circulates within the RainForest reservoir, so that much more oxygen reaches
the root boundary zone than with other hydroponic systems. The roots absorb opti-
mal levels of both oxygen and nutrients, so that the entire plant thrives.
3. Replace the Vortex sprayer in the system cover. Plug in the motor.
If the motorized sprayer stops unexpectedly, immediately:
1. Check that the power cord is properly plugged in and there is power to the
socket.
2. Unless the motor can be restarted within a few minutes, add enough nutrient
solution, or plain water, so that the bottoms of all growing cups are sub-
merged. This will prevent crop loss.
3. If the problem seems to be in the motor, contact your retailer or
General Hydroponics.
Plants, like all living organisms can be infected with a variety of diseases. The
best way to avoid sick plants is to maintain clean conditions and correct envi-
ronmental factors (light, temperature, humidity, ventilation, etc.) for a given crop.
Start with clean seeds and cuttings. If you suspect plant disease, consult a good
guide or call your county agricultural agent.
