- The Spacer provides a firm support on which to place the substrate bags, allowing the optimal flow of drainage below.
- Prevents roots from leaving the substrate bag and having contact with drainage flow.
- It maximizes moisture accumulation under the substrate, allowing efficient drainage.
- Therefore, it helps to prevent the formation of algae, fungi and that root diseases and contagion among plants proliferate.
- Aeration between the substrate bag and the drainage flow is enhanced.
- As a result, Spacer allows savings in the use of fertilizers, phytosanitary products, and even labor (reduced work of cutting roots coming out of the bag, or lading bags, or opening more drains in the bags, etc.).
- Consequently, Spacer contributes to less plant loss during the production cycle, and to the extension of the cycle, resulting in increases in production in quality and quantity.
The next step was to bring all these benefits achieved through the use of Spacer in hydroponic soil level gutter systems, to elevated gutter systems. The great advantage of an elevated gutter system is that it allows air flow below all plants. By placing a Spacer on the top of an elevated gutter, all the benefits of the Spacer are added to the advantages of the elevated system.[/vc_column_text][tm_spacer size=»lg:26″][tm_image image_size=»custom» align=»center» md_align=»center» sm_align=»center» xs_align=»center» image=»25764″ image_size_width=»0″ image_size_height=»0″][tm_spacer size=»lg:26″][vc_column_text]
With the excellent results that were obtained, we decided again to innovate and brought to market the first version of an Elevated Gutter System, which already incorporated a Spacer in its own design. A metal lattice base was used, on which a polypropylene gutter was placed, and the system was crowned with a Spacer. In this way, all the benefits of Spacer and all the advantages of an elevated system were combined into one system.

Now, at Hydroponic Systems, we are again proud to keep a foot ahead in the development and innovation of new products and systems, launching the drainage collection system HS Evolution Growing System for hydroponic crops.

The HS Evolution Growing System is an elevated gutter system that revolutionizes hydroponic growing systems, because by integrating into its design a Spacer on a metal gutter, amalgam in a single system, all the benefits of Spacer, along with the advantages of the elevated system, and this time, on a metal gutter that makes it more robust:
- The HS Evolution Growing System provides greater aeration between the substrate and the gutter through which drainage water flows.
- It prevents the roots from leaving the bag and coming into contact with the drainage water, improving its circulation and flow, while preventing moisture from accumulating underneath.
- Promotes better root development throughout the cycle. Plants arrive more vigorously at the end of the long cycle, and fewer plants are lost during the long cycle.
- It prevents the proliferation of root diseases, allowing to further prolong production cycles, and to obtain better yields.
- Having a Spacer already integrated into its structure, which is where the substrate bag is supported, the HS Evolution Growing System, in addition to all of the above, prevents that when the temperature rises and the sheet of the metal gutter is heated, the substrate bag is also heated by contact with the metal and the roots resent it, as in all other metal elevated gutter systems.
Another huge advantage of the HS Evolution Growing System is that it is very versatile and can have different applications, depending on the type of support you use. Thus, it can be used in vegetable crops, with height-adjustable floor supports. It can also be used in Strawberry crops, if tube-like supports are placed, to raise the gutters to 1m height. In the same way, it can be hung to the structure of a greenhouse, if hooks, tensioners and cables are used.[/vc_column_text][tm_spacer size=»lg:26″][tm_image image_size=»custom» align=»center» md_align=»center» sm_align=»center» xs_align=»center» image=»25807″][tm_spacer size=»lg:26″][vc_column_text]
What’s more, the HS Evolution Growing System, in its hanging version, can be the basis for mobile strawberry growing systems: Swinging System and Lifting System.[/vc_column_text][tm_spacer size=»lg:26″][tm_image image_size=»custom» align=»center» md_align=»center» sm_align=»center» xs_align=»center» image=»25792″][tm_spacer size=»lg:26″][vc_column_text]In short, we are again proudly leading the way, revolutionizing elevated gutter systems for hydroponic cultivation, with the launch of the HS Evolution Growing System, which promises, just as at the time when the Spacer for ground level gutter systems came out, to be a success and set a new standard, redefining the concept of an optimal elevated gutter system.[/vc_column_text][tm_spacer size=»lg:26″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
