Description
One cover, sixteen trays, a fraction of the labour
The Athena VPDome is a fabric cover built to fit over a standard wire rack, turning the whole rack into one large, sealed propagation environment instead of managing sixteen individual clone domes. Rather than lifting and misting each tray dome separately, the whole rack humidifies and vents as one unit, holding a stable vapour pressure deficit across every tray on every shelf.
That consistency is where the real gain sits. Individual domes drift in humidity and temperature between the top and bottom of a rack, and every time a dome is lifted for misting or inspection the whole micro-environment resets. Athena's own data on the VPDome shows growers saving two to four hours of labour per rack, per month, purely from not handling sixteen separate domes — and the steadier VPD measurably improves rooting speed and cuts cutting mortality versus loose domes on the same rack.
- Fits a standard wire rack — 48"W x 72"H x 18"D (122cm x 183cm x 46cm)
- Holds up to 16 standard clone trays under one cover
- Heavy-duty transparent doors for inspection without opening the whole dome
- Magnetic door seals and foldable doors for fast, repeatable access
- Anti-microbial coating helps limit disease spread across the rack
- Velcro straps, sensor holders and cord insert slots for a fully instrumented rack
How to Use
- Install the bottom rack cover first, then place the main cover over the top of the loaded rack
- Seal the doors using the magnetic closures before running humidification
- Route sensor and power cables through the dedicated cord insert slots to keep the seal intact
