Optimizing Your Hydroponic System: The Ideal Pump Schedule for the Plaas Pod Mini 6 Pro
Hydroponics is all about precision. The right balance of water, nutrients, and oxygen can make the difference between a thriving system and struggling plants. With the Plaas Pod Mini 6 Pro, having a proper pump schedule is essential to maximize efficiency, conserve energy, and ensure your plants receive the best growing conditions possible.
Why a Pump Schedule Matters
In hydroponics, roots need constant oxygenation while staying moist with nutrient-rich water. Running the pump too often can lead to overwatering and energy waste, while too little can cause root dryness and poor growth. The key is timed cycles that balance hydration and aeration.

After thorough testing, we recommend the following daily pump cycle for optimal plant health:
