The HOBBY CULTIVATOR leverages Dosatron’s unique, water-powered dosing technology to deliver the optimum blend of nutrients and fertilizers directly to your plants. Below are frequently asked questions about our first system geared toward home and hobby growers.
Where can we buy it?
The Hobby Cultivator is for sale in the USA and Canada at shop.dosatron.com. Call us at 1-727-443-5404 if you’re outside of North America.
How much does it cost?
The base four-pump system costs $1500.
What type of applications does it work for?
Applications include liquid fertilizer programs, powder fertilizer programs, concentrated liquid organics, enzymes and beneficial bacteria, propagation and rooting, sanitation, line cleaning, and adjusting pH up or down.
What size applications does it work for?
The Hobby Cultivator is perfect for applications with an average of 4 to 24 lights, covering anywhere from a dozen to a few hundred plants.
What does maintenance look like?
We recommend annual maintenance to keep the Hobby Cultivator running in top shape. We offer an annual seal kit $65.65.
What is the flow rate?
Flow rates range from 0.5 to 5 gallons per minute.
What is the difference between this and the Nutrient Delivery System?
The Hobby Cultivator was engineered specifically for the scale and price point of home growers with smaller indoor applications versus commercial or outdoor operations. Our pro series provides more diverse flow range, dosing range, pressure range, seal type variety, and are designed for all-day, everyday use.
Does it require electricity?
No. Like all Dosatron pumps, the Hobby Cultivator uses the same water-powered, non-electric proportional dosing technology that we invented back in 1974.
Does it require mixing chambers?
No. Although they can be added, the pumps’ design allows for proper blending without mixing chambers.
What additions are available?
To accommodate your specific grow needs, you can add:
Does the Hobby system work with Athena proline?
Yes, but you would likely need an additional injector and would be required to utilize two injectors for “GROW” or “BLOOM” solutions, because the recommended injection rates are higher than 18.75 mL/gal, the max of the Hobby Cultivator injectors individually.
