The SNAP Hydroponics system uses growboxes. The growbox holds the nutrient solution and the seedling plugs in place. The growbox provide enough ventilation for the aeration of the roots. It insulates the root system and keep heat at a minimum. The growbox prevents light from reaching the nutrient solution to prevent the growth of algae. It also prevents mosquitoes from laying their eggs in the nutrient solution.
Growboxes are typically made from reused 24⨉16⨉6-inch styrofoam (expanded polystyrene, EPS) boxes used in imported grapes. These styrofoam boxes are light and durable and are very easy to work with.
