    Default Autopots

    Just coming to the end of my first grow, it's been great so far.
    I'm looking towards my next grow and to advance my growing technique.
    Just had a look at autopots and haven't much knowledge on the pro's and cons .

    There not great mate, and can cause more problems they than fix. Easier to just go coco, and feed every day with run off to drainage.

    If you don’t have time for that, go soil, and then you only have to water every few days.

    Personally. I’d recommend living soil organic. That’s my next mission and it’s the future of growing. Look into it!

    Cheers for the Advice Macky. I'm feeding every other day in Coco at the moment. Should I change that to daily on my next grow ?

    every other day is alright, but during flower you want to keep giving them fresh food as often as possible so daily is good. I always feed my coco every day, maybe during the grow there might be a couple of days where i just cant be arsed lol, but every day feeding is how I roll in coco.

    I love the auto pot systems.
    Make sure you have air domes in them, keep the res out of the grow space to keep it cool.
    Don’t be surprised if your feeds get a little strong (mine loved 2.0+ EC

    I have a grow on here in them, I pulled 42oz under 1200w of lights with them.

    I like them too, I'm running the autopot XL with 18 litre fabric smartpots. I'd suggest getting the airdomes or flat aquarium bubble stones for under the pot to keep the water oxygenated to reduce the already slim chance of root rot
    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.

    Keep me updated I’ve never used the fabric pots
