Autopots.

Post by alfa2505 »

Hi, I'm coming towards the end of my current grow , I've been hand feeding daily but I'm looking for a little less graft on my next one.
Looking at Autopots and noticed they do two sizes. Can anyone recommend what's best , and if buying them is worth the investment.

Hey buddy, have you looked into the Wilma system? Generally we would recommend steering clear of bottom feeding. With a similar investment a recirculating system might be a better option

12 to 15 liter pots are more than ample, but make sure they are the single pots and not the doubles then you can spread them out as and when needs be. Tis a great system that produces lots of buds for minimal effort, no noise and no electricity are used.

Every feed is fresh as a daisy at correct N/P/K ratios said on bottles and it`s not recirculated round and round feeding plants whatever ratios of N/P/K, difference being chips n egg or steak, chips and egg lol, but seriously yes it`s a top system i`d use again any day of week for said reasons. So long as you don`t overfeed and run an ec around 1 to 1.2 in bloom your laughing all way mate.

The first system i ever used or was it nft, anyhow it were first or second automated system i tried . :)

Oh yes it`s deffo more a hydro system imho and ideal for 70/30 coco/perlite or coco/clayballs mix, soil/dirt is gonna stay soggy down low and it`s not gonna be able to dry out between fereds cus as soon as res empties it refills straight away so possible soggy root woes and ways. Also used it with small rockwool cubes and clayballs 50/50 mix to good effect :)
