Origin XL 8 Hydroponic System – Complete Kit 8x11L · Active Drip Irrigation

The Origin XL 8 Hydroponic System is the ultimate solution for growers who want to combine the flexibility of pots with the explosive performance of hydroponics. Designed to house 8 plants in 11-liter pots, this active system ensures constant feeding and superior root oxygenation, translating into heavier harvests and vigorous plants, all while you regain your free time.

Is your watering routine holding you back?

Imagine a typical day in your indoor garden: you have to move 8 heavy pots to access the back ones, carefully watering each plant by hand to avoid spills, and then dealing with the runoff that fills the saucers. It’s a messy, time-consuming ritual that often leads to inconsistent moisture levels—some plants get too much, others too little—resulting in uneven growth and a lot of wasted time.

It’s frustrating to put so much love into your grow only to feel like a slave to the watering can. You can’t leave for a weekend without worrying, and despite your best efforts, you know the plants aren't reaching their full genetic potential because the root zone isn't getting that perfect oxygen-nutrient ratio. You are working harder, not smarter, and your back (and your yields) are paying the price.

The Origin XL 8 changes this scenario completely. By automating the feeding process with a precision timer and a recirculating pump, your plants get exactly what they need, when they need it. No more lifting heavy pots or guessing if the soil is dry enough. You simply fill the reservoir, set the timer, and watch your garden thrive with a uniformity and vigor that manual watering just can't match.

What the Origin XL 8 System includes exactly

This system, formerly known as Wilma, is renowned for its reliability and simplicity. It combines the ease of growing in pots with the efficiency of an automated system.

• Robust Reservoir: A large tank that holds the nutrient solution, ensuring you don't have to refill water daily.
• Support Tray: Designed to hold the 8 pots securely while channeling excess water back into the reservoir.
• 8 x 11L Pots: The perfect size for substantial root development and large plants.
• Water Pump & Delivery System: Includes the pump and all necessary tubing/drippers to deliver nutrients directly to the substrate.
• Drippers: Usually comes with flood drippers (for clay pebbles) and arrow drippers (for coco/soil), giving you total versatility.

How your routine changes from now on

Once you install the Origin XL 8, your daily grind transforms into a management role. Instead of spending 30 minutes a day watering, you'll spend 10 minutes a week checking pH and EC levels in the tank. The system handles the heavy lifting, ensuring the substrate never dries out completely and the roots are constantly bathed in oxygen-rich nutrients.

You will notice that your plants grow faster and healthier. The constant availability of nutrients means the plants never stress from hunger or thirst. Plus, the freedom to leave your crop unattended for a few days gives you peace of mind that is priceless.

Advantages and benefits you’ll notice from day one

• Explosive Root Growth: The frequent feeding and excellent drainage provide massive oxygenation to the root zone.
• Versatility: You can use it with clay pebbles, coco coir, soil, or rockwool mapito.
• Space Efficiency: Its compact footprint (approx 115x60cm) fits perfectly in standard grow tents.
• Water Efficiency: As a recirculating system, it uses water and nutrients much more efficiently than run-to-waste setups.
• Leak-Proof Design: The pots sit inside the tray, so there is zero risk of water spilling onto your floor.
• Professional Results: It bridges the gap between novice soil growing and advanced Hydroponic and Aeroponic Systems.

Tips to combine it with other Pevgrow products

To get the absolute beast mode out of your Origin XL 8, you need to pair it with the right nutrition and maintenance tools. Since this is a recirculating system, keeping your reservoir clean and balanced is key.

• Nutrients: Use high-quality mineral Cannabis fertilizers specifically designed for Hydro or Coco to prevent clogging the drippers.
• Root Stimulators: Essential during the first weeks to establish a root mass that fills the 11L pots.
• Enzymes: Crucial for breaking down dead root matter and keeping the drippers clean.
• Timer: While the pump is included, ensure you have a reliable segment timer to control feeding intervals (e.g., 15 mins ON / 45 mins OFF).

Frequently Asked Questions

What substrate is best for the Origin XL 8?

It is incredibly versatile. Clay pebbles (expanded clay) are excellent for maximum aeration and frequent watering. Coco coir is great if you want a buffer similar to soil but with hydro performance. You can even use soil, but you must reduce the watering frequency significantly to avoid waterlogging.

How often should I change the water in the tank?

We recommend changing the nutrient solution completely every 7 to 10 days. This prevents nutrient imbalances and pH fluctuations that can occur as plants consume specific minerals.

Is it difficult to assemble?

Not at all. It is one of the most user-friendly Drip irrigation systems on the market. You just need to place the tray on the tank, set up the pots, connect the delivery lines to the pump, and you are ready to grow.

Can I use organic nutrients?

It is possible, but not recommended for recirculating systems as organic nutrients tend to spoil faster and clog drippers. If you want to go organic, use the system as "run-to-waste" (don't let the water drain back into the main tank) or ensure you use a line of liquid organics specifically filtered for hydro.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I remember when I first switched from hand-watering pots to the Origin system (back when we called them Wilma). I was skeptical about "machines" taking care of my ladies. But after the first week, I was sold. The difference in growth speed was undeniable—the plants were praying to the light constantly.

My biggest tip: Don't let the reservoir run dry! It sounds obvious, but these plants drink fast when they get big. Also, I highly recommend using an air stone in the reservoir; that extra dissolved oxygen is the secret sauce for white, fuzzy roots. It’s a workhorse system that pays for itself in the first harvest.
