{"product_id":"athena-vpdome-shell-only","title":"Athena VPDome Shell Only","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOne cover, sixteen trays, a fraction of the labour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits a standard wire rack\u003c\/strong\u003e — 48\"W x 72\"H x 18\"D (122cm x 183cm x 46cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHolds up to 16 standard clone trays\u003c\/strong\u003e under one cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty transparent doors for inspection without opening the whole dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic door seals and foldable doors for fast, repeatable access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-microbial coating helps limit disease spread across the rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelcro straps, sensor holders and cord insert slots for a fully instrumented rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall\u003c\/strong\u003e the bottom rack cover first, then place the main cover over the top of the loaded rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal\u003c\/strong\u003e the doors using the magnetic closures before running humidification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoute sensor and power cables\u003c\/strong\u003e through the dedicated cord insert slots to keep the seal intact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: 48\" W x 72\" H x 18\" D wire rack (122cm x 183cm x 46cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTray capacity: up to 16 standard clone trays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: shell cover, transparent doors, magnetic seals, velcro straps, sensor holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: rack, lighting, sensors and other accessories — shell only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athena","offers":[{"title":"Shell Only","offer_id":53500725166346,"sku":"SYS-ATHE-VPDOME-01","price":205.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/Athena-VP-Dome-Shell-Only.png?v=1786377683","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/athena-vpdome-shell-only","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
