I have a couple of autopot systems but have sort of made myself a DIY version by using the single holiday watering system easy2go , and using a 1M x 1M plastic mixing tray (wish id got white as the black can get quite hot until the mylar goes on) with mylar stretched over it, cut some holes in for the pots then 4 x 15L pots ( 3 Gallon in US gallons I think LOL ) . I top feed by hand until roots show through the bottoms of the pots then I set them away on the autopot. I use an inch of perlite at the bottom of the pot so her roots are never sat in the wet. But the Aquavalve does a good job of allowing the plants to go through their wet/dry cycle by using a unique system due to water retention inside the valve. pretty great and time saving .
But you are looking at about £250 for an 8 single pot system with a tank, my way you can get an 8 pot system ( 2 x 4 pot) (with your won solid regular water butt tank instead of the expensive flexitank) for £120 ish all in. Plus your not bound by pot size as you Use whatever you want ,Ive used 15L buckets with holes drilled in all over then lined with weed control material so are DIY air pots too, they work a treat with some brilliant root systems on them. Not a pot bound root in sight all very thick fibrous roots due to them air pruning themselves.
Anyway sorry for the slightly highjacked topic @Milson Great job btw mate ,looks amazing Im a bit jealous as the cupboard is getting slightly bare and 6 weeks to go on my 1st lot that I managed to save from their nightmare ordeal, but things are defo starting to look peachy in the indoor garden of Eden again. Ive got my arse in gear now too so will be back on here with some pics and updates to what ive got going on soon
