    Default Autopots, any good? + other questions.

    Hi guys,

    As the title says i may give autopots a blast. Previously i have just done soil and hand water. But i want to try auto pots this time as this will be better for me.
    Also i have been reading about you can add the airdomes? had a look into these and they say they help the growth. Not sure what medium to put the auto pots in either i was thinking coco? Also what feed is best for the auto pots as i read some can block the pipes.

    Any help appreciated it!
    Thanks guys

    Alright rick,
    Used autopots a while ago, I used the hydro coco 60/40 mix. But if I was to use them again it would be 100% coco. Copper sheet at the very bottom, then fill up. Not sure on them domes, never used them. You don't want anything organic in the res, it will start foaming and smelling wierd.
    I'm sure Dutch pro do a product called keep it clean? Other than that. When you come to change res, I'd take out the pipes and floats and give them a good clean g by hand.
    👍🏻

    I will look into the dutch pro. As for the copper sheet are the clay balls better?

    No bud just a waist of space. Coco top to bottom. Thst copper sheet needs to be placed in first, copper side faced up, then filled in. Hand water the plants for the first week to get some roots down. Then fill up the res once you get some movement.
