摘要

A method, a system and a converter plate for use in a system for growing plants comprising a converter plate having a generally flat circular portion having a central portion having a first thickness and an outer circular portion that is thinner than the first thickness and a plurality of hollow wicking cup legs extending from the central portion and the hollow wicking cup legs having open tops where the hollow wicking cup legs join the central portion. At least one of the hollow wicking cup legs having a base portion having an opening therein to promote the wicking of water through capillary action when the converter plate is in use. Surrounding the central portion is an outer ring that is of thinner thickness than the central portion. The outer ring includes cutting guides to facilitate the cutting of the outer ring to reduce the diameter of the converter plate.
